Over 45 million people in the United States have at least one tattoo. Body art may become unpopular for a variety of reasons. The most often utilized laser for tattoo removal is a Q-switched laser. The laser breaks down the pigment into small enough particles for the ink to be filtered out by the body’s natural filtering system. It’s possible that multiple treatments are required.
