Why Tattoo Removal Treatment Is On-The-High? The trend of getting inked is high on the to-do-list of this generation. But, often, a tattoo, inked on a spur-of-the-moment can become extremely unwanted. The introduction to tattoo removal treatment has benefited many who want to erase their tattoos. In the past, tattoos used to be erased by removing skin tissues. Regardless to say, it led to unwanted scarring. The advanced laser tattoo removal treatments eliminate tattoos without damaging skin. Have a look below to know more in this regard. The excellent and the safe method for removing a tattoo is selective photothermolysis.
About Photothermolysis When photothermolysis is conducted, the color of the light penetrates deep into the skin for reaching the tattoo pigment. The color of laser light should be absorbed more by the tattoo pigment than the surround areas on the skin. During the process, the pulse duration of the laser energy is kept short. This helps the tattoo pigment get heated till it reaches the fragmentation temperature. Laser is applied in such a way that the heat is not dissipated to surrounding skin. Sufficient energy is delivered during each laser pulse application so that the pigment gets heated and leads to fragmentation.
Photothermolysis Removes Tattoo without Causing Any Damage Before conducting photothermolysis for removing a tattoo, the amount of energy required to break the tattoo pigment is determined. The unit of the energy is joules per square centimeter. In addition to the analyzing the energy requirements, the size of the spot is determined in mm and the speed of the treatment is determined in terms of Hertz. During the procedure, the laser light penetrates through the skin without causing any damage. The laser light only targets the ink that rests in liquid state within. Immediate outcomes can be noticed. In most cases, fading of tattoo pigment occurs gradually with seven to eight weeks of the healing period between treatments. QS Devices are used for removing the tattoo. The widely used tattoo removal devices are Qswitched Ruby:694 nm, Q-switched frequency-doubled Nd:YAG:532 nm, Q-switched Nd:YAG:1064 mn and Q-switched Alexandrite:755 nm. Multiple laser treatment sessions are required for removing the tattoo completely. The interval of treatments is at least seven weeks. During each session, some particles of tattoo pigment are fragmented effectively. The smallest fragments are removed from the body within several weeks. This is how the tattoo becomes lightened over time. During the remaining treatments, large particles of tattoo pigment are targeted for causing further lightening.
Who Are Eligible to Undergo Photothermolysis? Photothermolysis is suitable for persons having strong immune system. Patients taking antibiotics should consult the dermatologist whether photothermolysis is applicable or not because there are some antibiotics that raise the irritation level when the laser is applied. Previously, tattoos were removed with the application of lime, wine, garlic extracts etc. This process is not favored by some patients. People who want neat and the tidy procedure can opt for photothermolysis.
Photothermolysis is a process where sufficient laser light is applied on the area to be treated. The energy of the laser breaks down particles of tattoo pigments and with a few sessions, the tattoo becomes fade gradually.
