With the increasing demand for tattoos among young people in recent years, plastic surgeons also see an increase in tattoo removal surgery patients. The reason for this varies from patient to patient. Some tattoos may be poorly executed or placed in areas that interfere with social or sexual quality of life of individuals. In addition, tattoos also cause infection or interfere with the existence of only humans, particularly in adolescents, because the message was sent, no longer applies to people who wear tattoos.
For tattoo removal, there are several methods that can be performed in special clinics. Because tattoos are placed deep under the skin, a method such as dermabrasion and chemical removal leaves a permanent scar that can not be accepted.
Surgical methods are often used to tattoo excision followed by suture, skin grafting or tissue expansion (inserting a silicone balloon which increases with the salt, creating excess skin that will be used in the second stage surgery to defects caused by excision to cover the tattoo) to remove. Scars are not always consistent with the prevailing aesthetic standards, while further expanding the network is difficult to accept for young people with an active social life.
Or laser (Intense Pulsed Light) IPL device is less effective in removing tattoos. Therefore, specialists struggling to come up with a revolutionary new device to the desired results. Used newest and most modern method is represented by the discovery of new lasers. Using high-energy lasers capable of issuing direct waves to break and remove the pigment effectively, even in pathologically altered cells.
The laser beam destroys very rapidly (about 6 ns) in the latter part of the pigment and the pigment is removed by. Macrophages are cells that are foreign substances from the body via the lymphatic circulation. Although the pigment has been compromised, every vestige of the body that appears after the intervention of this kind gradually fade. Network environment is not affected because they do not absorb the laser energy at specific wavelengths.
Two wavelengths are most often used is 1064 nm and 532 nm, and help address a wide range of tattoo colors (black, blue, red and green, the latter being the most difficult to remove). The results depend on the materials used for tattoos as well as the individual response of the body of the patient.
