Laser tattoo removal is generally effective. This method primarily uses laser energy to break down pigment particles deep within the skin into tiny debris, which are then either shed naturally with scabbing or engulfed by macrophages in the body and eliminated through metabolism, thereby achieving tattoo removal. It usually does not cause significant skin damage and can restore the skin to its normal condition.
