5 Laser Tattoo Removal Sessions on 6"x6" Area

Tattoos are placed by injecting ink particles (ranging in size from 20–400 nm) into the dermis. During the tattooing process, the epidermis and upper papillary dermis are homogenized, and ink particles are distributed extracellularly and intracellularly. After 2–3 months, the skin layers reestablish, and the ink remains concentrated within fibroblasts beneath a layer of scar tissue in the dermis. Tattoo inks are not regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and most patients do not know the constituents of their tattoos. There are many different types of tattoos. Decorative tattoos are the most common. They are categorized as either amateur or professional, based on their method of placement.
