At present, there are many ways to wash tattoos, such as Q-switched laser and picosecond laser. Laser has a blasting effect, which can break the pigment particles of tattoos and then excrete them through human phagocytes. In general, laser will not damage skin lesions, so it will not lead to scar formation.

However, if the patient has formed a scar because of his scar constitution after tattooing, the scar will continue to exist after washing the tattoo. In addition, if the doctor turns on too much energy during laser treatment, it will lead to local edema after laser treatment.

If no measures are taken after edema infection, scars may appear. So try to choose regular medical institutions and experienced doctors, so the possibility of washing tattoos and leaving scars is very small.

Extended data:

1, laser therapy

The laser acts on the affected area, so that the pigment particles are broken into tiny pieces, which are discharged through skin scabbing, or blood circulation discharge and cell phagocytosis to complete pigment metabolism. This method does not destroy the rest of the skin tissue, leaving no scars after operation. It is the first choice for tattoo treatment, but the cost is slightly more expensive.

2. Chemical etching method

Is to use diluted weak acid solution to cause superficial skin burns, so that the pigment falls off with necrotic tissue.

3. Skinning method

It is to remove the skin surface layer with a special high-speed rotating grinding wheel to achieve the purpose of removing pigment.

4, surgical resection method

For deep tattoo patterns, the above methods are often ineffective, and only surgical resection and suture can be considered, but scars may be left.
