IPL Tattoo Removal

IPL Tattoo Removal is the #1 recommended laser tattoo removal method by Dermatologists & skin care professionals. IPL Tattoo Removal, pioneered by Dr. Patrick Bitter Jr., is based on emitting high intensity pulses of light (not lasers) to penetrate the skin and rid you of various complaints. IPL tattoo removal is a procedure is designed to move the colored, abnormal cells from the body through a specific process. As a result of this process, there may be some scarring involved. In many cases white or darker cells are left behind and create blotches in the skin. However, in many instances, these blotches also fade with time.

Is IPL and Laser Therapy the Same Thing?

Nope. IPL and Laser therapy is NOT the same thing.

One of the common misconceptions when it comes to intense pulse light (IPL) therapy is that it is the very same procedure as traditional laser therapy for tattoo removal. Although both share some similarities, the procedure in itself is different enough to make each one two separate entities.

IPL tattoo removal sends short bursts of intense light at the skin. These bursts of light are not lasers or anything close except for the fact that they both contain light particles.

With IPL, light is sent through a prism that is placed on the skin. The light is sent through this prism into the skin is what causes the ink to break up and helps in the elimination of the unwanted ink.

How does IPL tattoo removal work?

The IPL tattoo removal light is absorbed only by the tattoo ink within the skin. The pigment is broken up by the body and absorbed during healing after the treatment. The areas further away from your heart take the longest to clear.
