[Originally Published on SK Truderma Blog]

Want to have a tattoo, the decision is totally personal and emotional. The tattoo can be someone’s name or some icons or quotes, it all depends on individual decision.

But many a time we take a back seat to get our self-inked because we think it is permanent in nature and it cannot be removed later. This would be true if it was some 20 years ago but now since we have laser tattoo removal, things are totally different.


This piece of content is dedicated to all those who want to have their tattoos removed but have some misconceptions.

Let’s discuss some common misconceptions about tattoo removal.

7 Myths About Laser Tattoo Removal:

Myth #1: Black Ink Is very difficult or Impossible To Remove

No, it is not. The laser works by targeting the pigment so the darker the ink, the easier it is to remove. Black color can be broken up completely and extremely efficiently.

Myth #2: Skin gets burn during the treatment



It is absolutely safe and it does not burn the skin. Laser only target the ink and is very accurate. Also based on the requirements the wavelength is determined hence burning is completely avoided.

Myth #3: The duration of the treatment is usually very long

Treatment is usually customized and it depends entirely on the complexity of your tattoo.

Myth #4: Tattoo removal  treatments need to be taken frequently and regularly
It is very simple laser treatment. The number of visits is usually decided by a dermatologist based on the complexity of the tattoo and each session can be planned based on your comfort because is not a medical treatment. A tattoo is a dye that needs to be removed so laser treatment is a simple and most effective procedure.

Myth #5: Laser tattoo removal can be done by anyone

It is very important to understand that if treatment goes wrong it can badly damage the skin. It requires lots of scientific and technical skills. So it is always advised to take the treatment from a seasoned dermatologist if you want a safe and hassle-free laser removal.

Myth #6: All are a good candidate for tattoo removal done

No not everyone is an ideal candidate for laser tattoo removal. Usually, the objective of laser treatment is to target pigment that’s in the dye but sometimes it also affects the melanin in their skin. So the tattoo removal becomes more complex if the skin is darker. Darker the skin the more complicated is the process. A dermatologist usually evaluates before the treatment starts.

Myth #7: Laser Tattoo Removal is scarring

Laser treatment is usually very safe and is a daycare procedure. Based on the various parameter the evaluation is done and then the wavelength of the lasers are pre-determined and thus the chances of scarring are nil.
