Laser Tattoo Removal

Who did not dream to make a tattoo in 15-18 years? For teenagers, this is one of the means of attracting attention to themselves, increasing their authority or manifesting their individuality. But years later, some of them (about ¼) have a desire to get rid of this work of art on their skin. This happens for various reasons:

• the existing image loses relevance or just bothers;
• poor quality of performance;
• sagging or damaging the skin at the location of the pattern;
• if necessary because of work, the requirements of relatives or "the other half."

Previously, tattoos were reduced, damaging a skin area with a pattern in various ways (mechanical or chemical), but there were always scars or it was very painful. The most effective of modern means to get rid of tattoos is laser removal.
