Until recently, a tattoo was forever. But today, technology has allowed us to remove tattoo ink using state of the art lasers.
We use the Medlite Q-Switch Laser, the leader in safe tattoo removal and tattoo lightening. It emits extremely short and powerful pulses of light through the skin’s surface, shattering the pigment below into tiny particles that are harmlessly removed by the body’s immune system in the weeks following treatment.
Hope this helps

Welcome, lasergenex! Is that removal of the particles through urination? How does the body exactly get rid of the pigments and is there any possible harm by the pigments while transiting organs and such? I may be off here :(
And if you have the time, would it be possible to post some pictures of pre and post treatment? I think all you need to do to post pics is write the plain url to the image.

I would just warn people to be critical of self-proclaimed tattoo-fade away review websites. I bought some stuff called TAT-Med after reading they were rated number 1 on the Skin Health Association website. It looks like an independent review but now I'm convinced it was made by the guys at Tat-Med. They have ingredients like seaweed extract, algae extract, and plankton extract. I'm willing to try another tattoo fade-away cream but I'll read the ingredient list a little more closely next time.

haha.. review sites are all suspect. They just have too much to gain if there is any kind of commercial interest like endorsing a product. About the only one I trust is consumerreports. I once asked them for a copy of an article they published related to certain medical treatments and they completely refused to let me use it. I wanted the article to be part of a research paper with no commercial interest. They said they were a not for profit organization (or similar) that was strictly independent and would not allow themselves to be tied to potentially commercial endeavours.

The only way to remove a tattoo is by having several laser treatments. Creams, dermabrasions etc does not work.
Yes, the particles are removed by elimination and urination. The laser blasts the ink into microscopic particles. Your body's immune cells can now engulf these ink particles and safely remove them. No harm is done to any internal organs.
I will try to post up some pics shortly.

Ok. Lets see if this works:
http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d160/angelic91/tattoo_hand_before.jpgThere are many factors that affect tattoo removal:
Ink quality / type of ink - there are countless types of inks available on the market, all of which respond differently to the laser. Professional inks used by tattoo artists usually require more treatments to remove than amateur or “street” inks.
Ink Color - dark blue, black, and red tattoos generally respond faster to treatments whereas lighter colors such as white, green, light blues, and pinks require more treatments.
Depth of tattoo ink the skin - how deep the tattoo ink is deposited in the skin as well as if a tattoo has been covered up by another tattoo affects the number of treatments necessary to break down the ink.
Immune System - Each person’s immune system and its natural ability to absorb the ink will vary in terms of the rate at which it will break down the pigment.
And this is how it's done:

If you are looking to remove a tattoo there are a couple of different options including laser, surgical, dermabrasion, fade creams, and cover-up. The results seen by each person will vary based on the variables of the tattoo including depth, color and ink pigment.
Laser tattoo removal is very common means of tattoo removal. Although it can be painful it can be extremely effective. Before considering laser it is important to discuss with your doctor the costs and the number of treatments needed to fade your tattoo as every tattoo is different.
WreckingBalm is a popular in-home tattoo fading treatment that combines ink lighteners with an exfoliation device to remove the upper layers of the skin, while breaking up and lightening the ink pigments. When considering in-home tattoo fade creams it is important to recognize that individual results will vary based on your tattoo. Be sure to look for a product that offers a satisfaction guarantee.
Regardless of which option you choose, be sure to do your research and find the product that is right for you. Make sure you have asked the necessary questions so that you know what to expect.
