The use of lasers for tattoo removal procedures has been proven as the safest and most effective method in modern medicine, due to its minimal disturbance to the surrounding tissues.

Other methods used for tattoo removal include injections, skin grafting, burning or the actual cutting out of the tattoo. These methods, however, are invasive, painful, show a much greater risk of infection, and usually result in unsightly scarring. Their effectiveness is dramatically lower than that of the laser, as it is the safest, most effective, and obvious choice for tattoo removal in Sri Lanka.

Laser tattoo removal at Amaran has been proven to provide faster and superior clearance for tattoos and offers optimum safety with reduced risks.

How does laser tattoo removal work?

The laser energy is applied to selectively target specific tattoo pigments with minimal disruption to the surrounding tissue, causing the tattoo pigment to shatter into smaller ink particles, which can be removed by the body’s immune system over the space of several weeks.

What effect does the ink colour have on the treatment?

The colour of the tattoo plays a large role in determining how easily it can be removed. Dark colours, such as dark blue and black, are easier to remove than other colours.

How many treatments are needed?

The colour of the tattoo plays a key role in how effectively it can be removed. Darker shades, such as black and dark blue, absorb laser energy more efficiently and are usually easier to treat. In contrast, lighter colours like yellow, green, and pastel tones can be more challenging and may require additional sessions.

Effectiveness also depends on the type of laser used, as different wavelengths target different ink colours.
