PMU REMOVAL
The procedure of PMU or Tattoo laser removal is performed when drawing has become uneven, blurred, or was initially unsuccessful at all. Laser removal is considered the safest method of removing pigment from the skin.
What happens during laser tattoo removal?
The laser is directed precisely at those skin cells that contain the tattoo pigment. The beam is powerful enough to fragment those cells, breaking up the bead of dye into particles small enough to be dealt with by the body’s own defence mechanisms, through a series of natural processes.
The lasers used are precise, and exposure to the beam short. This means that only the tattooed cells are affected, and the surrounding tissue is not touched, resulting in no permanent scarring.
Pre-treatment instructions:
-
Please avoid sun exposure, tanning beds or fake tanning products for 4 weeks prior to treatment.
-

Follow the instructions for 7 days after laser tattoo removal:
