The best technology to get rid of unwanted tattoo is laser tattoo removal in Faridabad offered by Dr Soumya Singh at The Skin Clinique.
What is Laser Tattoo Removal?
Laser tattoo removal is a revolutionary treatment, one of the best and most commonly used cosmetic tattoo removal techniques among other tattoo removal procedures. It is a minimally invasive procedure that can significantly diminish the appearance of any unwanted tattoo.
How does Laser work to Get Rid of a Permanent Tattoo?
The high-intensity light beam coming out of a highly precise handheld laser device generates thermal energy that causes the tattoo inks (i.e. the colored dyes/pigments) inside the skin to heat up and break down into tiny fragments. These fragmented tattoo particles are later mopped up by the scavenger cells of the body within a period of 8-12 weeks, hence gradually fading the undesirable tattoo. Generally, the tattoos that are naturally designed using single color like black, brown, or blue (known as amateur tattoos) responds more quickly to the treatment than those with multicolors formed using maple ink and machine (called professional tattoos). Black tattoo pigment is easiest to treat by laser as it can absorb all wavelengths of the laser. Lasers are not much successful in the removal of professional tattoos as their inks set deeper in the skin and they do not absorb thermal energy.
During the initial consultation with a trained professional, the tattoo of the client is correctly assessed for its color, depth, and location, along with the unique skin type. Some laser tattoo removal treatments require fewer sessions while some may need more. Additional treatments are required for tattoos with inks deep in the skin, professional tattoos, tattoos in areas with poor blood circulation, and tattoos with colors such as orange, red, and yellow. Other than the color, the number of laser tattoo removal treatments will also depend on the size of the area to be treated and how old are the tattoos. New and large tattoos are difficult to be treated

Ideal Candidates for Laser Tattoo Removal
The suitable candidates for cosmetic laser tattoo removal procedures are the ones who fulfill the following requirements:
- Have the desire to get rid of unsatisfactory permanent tattoos or makeup
- Are physically fit, having no underlying medical conditions that may worsen after a cosmetic procedure
- Have realistic expectations for the outcome of the procedure.
How to prepare for Laser Tattoo Removal?
The candidates considering laser tattoo removal must follow these pre-treatment care instructions:
- Avoid sun exposure at the treatment site as well as the use of tanning beds throughout the course of the treatment. Wear sun-protective clothing and apply broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or above daily whether it’s rainy, cold, or the sun is shining outside.
- Do not have abrasive skin treatments like laser resurfacing treatments and peeling or any other skin cosmetic treatments for at least 2 weeks prior to the laser tattoo removal.
- On the day of the treatment, come freshly showered or bathed, and make sure that the skin to be treated is completely free of body moisturizer, self-tanning creams, makeup, and perfumes/deodorants as these can negatively impact the results of the laser tattoo removal. If there is excess hair growth in the treatment area, it’s recommended to shave the area beforehand.
- Avoid applying any numbing creams or gels to the treatment site beforehand as they can interfere with the efficacy of the treatment.
- Do not use any photosensitive topical products such as hydr-oxy acids, benz-oylperoxide, sal-icylic acid, and reti-nol on the area to be treated for three days prior to the treatment.
- Follow instructions provided by the doctor for any orally prescribed medications given at the time of medical laser consultation. Also, inform the doctor of any current intake of medications.
What Happens during Laser Tattoo Removal?
While performing laser tattoo removal, two techniques can be used:
1. Passive laser treatment- It is a simpler and affordable procedure, best suited to remove faded or light-colored tattoos, in less time.
2. Active laser treatment- It is an advanced, more comprehensive laser tattoo removal approach, ideal for most tattoos. An active laser ensures that the tattooed pigment within the skin loses all its color and turns into a shade that closely resembles natural skin pigment. To achieve optimum results, this treatment requires multiple consecutive laser sessions.
Generally, the laser tattoo removal session involves the following steps:
- The candidate will be provided with a protective eye shield to wear while receiving laser tattoo removal. Even the laser technician will wear them to protect eyes from getting harmed by laser light.
- The laser technician carries out a patch skin test to check the skin’s reaction to the laser and determine the most effective energy for the treatment.
- Next, the laser technician passes a pulse of intense light through the superficial skin layers that get only absorbed by the tattoo particles. At this time, the candidates can expect slight discomfort which can be described as a warm elastic band hitting against the skin. The surrounding areas of the treatment site will be kept covered with clothing.

Results, Recovery, and Aftercare
Following the laser tattoo removal, the candidate can expect to experience slight redness (erythema), swelling (edema), or/and tenderness in the treatment area that quickly resolves in some time. Scabbing, flaking, irritation, or blistering of the skin is also more likely to occur which may persist for a few days.
Immediately after the laser tattoo removal session, the tattoo may appear to be the same as before or lighten, darken, or fade. On average, the fragmented tattoo inks take 6-12 weeks to be eliminated by the body via the lymphatic system. Therefore, the results will be noticeable only after 8-12 weeks. Multiple laser sessions (usually 6-8) spaced a few weeks apart are usually required to get the best-desired results. The response of the treated area varies from one candidate to another depending upon the extent of the treatment.
