Do you need to remove a tattoo that changed?

Many people pursue laser tattoo removal because their tattoos no longer look they way they want. Some of the key reasons include pregnancy, fading because of too much sun exposure, or poor quality ink fading and blurring in their tattoo.

When woman experience pregnancy, their bodies change in important ways. Their abdomen expands to provide room for the baby to grow, and this often leads to the stretching of the skin around the belly and hips. A tattoo that looked great before the pregnancy may be stretched or faded and no longer look as good as before.

Tattoo ink may also fade due to excessive sun exposure. The sun's energy will, over time, break down the pigment in a tattoo to create the impression of fading. This process will take many years and often leave a tattoo that lacks certain colors or elements.

Tattoo removal Laser is most commonly performed using lasers that react with the ink in the tattoo, and break it down. The broken-down ink is then absorbed by the body, mimicking the natural fading that time or sun exposure would create. All tattoo pigments have specific light absorption spectra. A tattoo removal laser must be capable of emitting adequate energy within the given absorption spectrum of the pigment in order to provide an effective treatment. Certain tattoo pigments, such as yellows, greens and fluorescent inks are more challenging to treat than the darker blacks and blues. These pigments are more challenging to treat because they have absorption spectra that fall outside or on the edge of the emission spectra available in the respective tattoo removal laser.
