Tatt2Away™ – A New Method of Tattoo Removal

If you have a tattoo, you are not alone. It’s currently estimated that over 40 million Americans have one or more tattoos on their body – some visible in normal clothing, others not. And while your tattoo may have given you and others pleasure in the past, maybe you are getting bored with the design or have some other reason for wanting it removed. It’s estimated that some 50% of tattoo wearers want their tattoo removed at some time in their life citing:

• Dissatisfaction with the design because it was poorly executed
• It was a rash decision at the time
• An ex partners name incorporated in the design
• New partner dislikes tattoos
• Concern that a tattoo on the leg or arm is visible in work clothing
• The design has faded over time

Saying Goodbye to the Ink
Until the introduction of Tatt2Away, laser treatment was the generally accepted method for removal of tattoo pigment. Problem is, laser light can only treat a limited range of colors, leaving others virtually untouched. Tatt2Away is ‘color blind’ and will remove all colors including the most exotic hues and pigment blends.

Laser removal of tattoos also has some risks and these are associated with the types of ingredients used in manufacturing a pigment color. When exposed to laser light, tattoo pigment molecules are literally exploded into smaller pieces. In this process tremendous heat is generated and both effects can cause changes in the pigment composition allowing the release of certain chemicals. Depending on the source of the pigment and the additives used by the tattoo artist, chemicals can be released that have been judged potentially dangerous to one’s health. Fragments of pigment broken up by a laser are disposed of by the body’s own clean up mechanism via the lymph nodes and liver. There is some concern that these by products could cause health problems later in life.
