Tattoo removal aims to eliminate or significantly fade unwanted tattoos, typically using laser technology to break down the tattoo ink into smaller particles that the body can naturally clear away. Multiple sessions are usually required, and the success of removal can depend on factors like the tattoo’s size, ink colors, and the individual’s skin type.
