That is an excellent question. There are 3 processes that happen during a tattoo removal process. 1. Photo-thermal effectAs soon as the pigment absorbs the laser energy, some of it is burnt up. 2. Photo- acoustic effectLight waves behave like sound waves. Some of the pigment shatters upon contact with the light waves. 3. LymphaticsThe fragments of pigment are cleared by the body. The location, colour, age of the tattoo and amount of ink involved determine the difficulty or ease of removal of the tattoo. The best method remains the laser.
Acne leave behind mainly ice-pick or box-car scars. The base of each scar is held down by connective scar tissue. My preferred method is to use a combination of laser treatment and Rejuran Injections to improve the overall texture of the skin. The PicoWay has an attachment called the RESOLVE handpiece. When the laser enters the skin, it creates areas of cavitation under the skin called Laser Induced Optical Breakdowns. This helps to disrupt the connective tissue holding the base of the scar down.
