What Types of Cosmetic Tattoo Can Be Treated?
Advanced laser treatments can help improve a range of cosmetic tattoo concerns.

How Does Cosmetic Tattoo Removal Work?
Laser treatments use targeted light energy to break down unwanted pigment beneath the skin.
Targets Cosmetic Pigment
The laser is attracted to pigment particles within the treated area, helping to fragment them into smaller particles.
Gradual Fading Process
The body naturally clears fragmented pigment over time, leading to progressive fading between sessions.
