how does laser tattoo removal work?

204 views

I know there are essentially two steps to it, where the latter part is the ‘zap zap’ gun where you can see the ink lifting and a whitish patch remains (which I hear can be as painful as getting the tattoo). What is it about the laser that helps to lift or burn the ink out of the skin?

Laser tattoo removal works be breaking down the pigment molecules that are trapped inside the skin into smaller pieces, when they’re small enough the body’s immune system can carry away and dispose of the broken down pigment particles.
