Fractional Laser Tattoo Removal: New Generation Approach
Although tattoos have become widespread as a form of personal expression, they may be desired to be removed over time for various reasons. With the developing technology, tattoo removal methods have also diversified, and more effective and skin-friendly options have come to the fore. One of these is the fractional laser technology tattoo removal method.
What is Fractional Laser?
Fractional laser is a system that creates controlled damage by applying pinpoint heat energy to the skin surface in the form of micro columns. This controlled damage activates the skin's self-repair mechanism, and over time, a renewed, healthier skin tissue is formed. Although it is generally used in skin rejuvenation and stain treatments, it can also play a supporting role in tattoo removal processes.
How is it Used in Tattoo Removal?
Fractional laser does not directly break down tattoo pigments. However, this method has two basic effects:
Supporting the pigment dissolution process performed with laser:
Fractional laser application accelerates the healing of the skin after classic tattoo removal lasers and facilitates the removal of pigment.
Contributing to the reduction of paint residues on the surface:
Especially in superficial and time-erased tattoos, the appearance of the tattoo can be significantly reduced by providing skin tissue renewal with fractional laser.
Who is it suitable for?
Those with old and faded tattoos
Individuals who have previously been removed with laser but have scars or discoloration on their skin
Patients who want to recover and improve their skin tissue after laser
However, fractional laser is not used as a tattoo removal method alone, but generally as a complement to other laser treatments.
