Am I a good candidate for laser tattoo removal?
There are several considerations that could improve the success of your tattoo removal. The best candidates for this procedure:
- Have a strong immune system. A strong immune system improves the body’s ability to break down and eliminate the ink properties.
- Are in good overall health. Eating a well-balanced diet and avoiding smoking aid the body’s immune system in performing at max efficiency.
- Have great contrast between the ink color and the pigment of the skin. The greater the contrast, the greater the result.
- Have tattoos that are several years old. Older tattoos have a tendency to respond better to laser removal treatment.
