This is how laser tattoo removal works

Description Angle down icon An icon in the shape of an angle pointing down.
Laser tattoo removal can take several sessions before the ink is no longer visible on the skin.

In this video, we have featured tattoo removals by US company New Hope Laser Skin Care. They use the Enlighten Laser, which claims to be more effective than traditional laser treatments.

The heat of the laser breaks down the ink pigments underneath the skin. This allows the white blood cells to attack the ink particles - eventually removing them from the human body. 

Watch the video at the top of this page to see the removal in action, as well as an animation which shows what it looks like underneath the skin.
