What to expect?
Tattoo removal is an outpatient procedure where the candidate is provided with local anesthesia to numb the tattooed skin to makee the procedure comfortable.

Laser tattoo removal in Delhi
In today's time, the Q-switched Nd: YAG lasers, which emit a light beam in a single, powerful pulse, are most commonly used to remove the tattoo. The treatment works by focusing the highly concentrated light waves from the laser device on the tattoo ink particles present underneath the skin, which heats the ink particles and causes them to break down into smaller fragments which are further naturally eliminated by the body's immune cells. The light beam is fired at a specific wavelength that the tattoo ink particles can selectively absorb without harming the healthy surrounding skin. 
 
The length of the procedure will depend on how large the tattoo is to be erased, although it could take less than five minutes. Frigid air is blown over the treatment area to ease any discomfort while performing the laser tattoo removal. Besides that, the laser gives a feeling of an extremely hot pulse shot at the skin in the design of the tattoo. It feels like a hot rubber band snapping against the skin or a warm pinprick sensation. 
 
For tattoo removal, three to ten laser treatments are typically needed every six to eight weeks, though more may be required occasionally. Numerous variables affect how many laser therapy sessions are necessary.

The following are some variables that affect the number of treatment sessions required:

• The quality of the laser.
• The laser usage at appropriate settings.
• Skin type.
• Tattoo ink quality, age, color, density, and how deep its seats in the skin.
• Location of the tattoo art.
• Personal lifestyle habits (water intake, exercise, and smoking).
• Intervals between appointments.

The healing process may take several weeks. During the recovery process, the patient's skin may feel sunburnt. The doctor may prescribe an ointment to help heal the treated skin and avoid any risk of infection. Keep the treated area clean and away from the sun post procedure, and strictly follow the doctor-recommended aftercare instructions. It is essential to apply sunscreen when outside.

Chemical peel
A medium or deep peel, such as trichloroacetic acid, can be used to remove the tattoo. It works by exfoliating the skin, i.e., removing outer skin layers and, with them, the tattoo inks. This minimally invasive, painless treatment does not need a numbing agent. Instead, the wounds created by the use of acid typically heal within 5-7 days, and until then, they must be properly cared for as directed by the doctor. This method is not very common as it may result in more pigmentation and usually not very effective. 
 
Dermabrasion 
In this method, the numb tattooed area is sanded down to deeper levels with a medical-grade, high-speed rotary device installed with an abrasive brush or wheel at one end. It helps to get rid of the superficial skin layers in a controlled manner and the unwanted tattoo inks to leach out of the skin. The wounds resulting from this technique take 10-14 days to heal. However, it provides less effective and unpredictable outcomes than lasers and a combination of surgical excision and laser. 
 
Surgical removal/excision
This involves directly cutting out the skin with a tattoo using a scalpel. It is not practical for large tattoo removal. The skin surrounding the tattoo is then brought together and sutured. Post-procedure bandages or surgical tape to cover the surgical site is done.
