What is Laser Tattoo Removal?
Laser tattoo removal is a medical procedure using lasers to meticulously break down the ink particles within a tattoo. This facilitates the body's natural elimination of the ink through the lymphatic system.
Renowned for its safety, laser tattoo removal is a trusted method to erase unwanted tattoos, suitable for almost any part of the body.
