🔍 What Is Tattoo Removal?

Tattoo removal is a medical procedure that eliminates or significantly fades unwanted tattoos using:

• Laser technology to break down ink particles

• Surgical excision to physically remove the tattooed skin

The choice depends on tattoo size, colour, depth, skin type, and desired outcome.
