Tattoo removal might also be important if you develop an allergic reaction to the tattoo or other complications, such as an infection.
Laser surgery Q-switched lasers — which release energy in a single, powerful pulse — are often the treatment of choice for tattoo removal.
Before laser treatment, the skin is numbed with a local anesthetic. Then a powerful pulse of energy is applied to the tattoo to heat and shatter the tattoo ink. Multicolored tattoos might need treatment with various lasers and different wavelengths.
