The following is from Dr. Will Kirby’s laser tattoo removal blog: While many patients just want to know the best treatment, I do get a lot of people (frequently other physicians) asking how the laser tattoo removal process works specifically. While the mechanism of action can be rather complex I try to make the explanation as simple as possible so I always refer them to this webpage called “All About Laser Tattoo Removal“. I am the medical director for that laser tattoo removal company, Dr. TATTOFF, and there is a wealth of information about laser tattoo removal on www.drtattoff.com.
