How do tattoo removal lasers work and why does the tattoo turn white?
How do lasers work.
How do lasers work? Tattoo removal lasers send light energy into the skin using pulses.
These are both extremely hot and extremely fast.
The breaking of an ink particle requires expansion (explosion), and this is achieved through heat.
As the tattoo ink particles absorb the energy, they heat up and then shatter into tiny fragments.
Then, release gases outward through the skin, causing the tattoo to turn white.
