Laser tattoo removal can take several sessions before the ink is no longer visible on the skin. In this video, we have featured tattoo removals by US company New Hope Laser Skin Care. They use the Enlighten Laser, which claims to be more effective than traditional laser treatments. The heat of the laser breaks down the ink pigments underneath the skin. This allows the white blood cells to attack the ink particles - eventually removing them from the human body. Watch the video at the top of this page to see the removal in action, as well as an animation which shows what it looks like underneath the skin. ----------------------------------------­­­­---------- Follow BI UK on Twitter: http://bit.ly/1Nz3jG3 Follow BI UK On Facebook: http://bit.ly/1VWDkiy Read more: http://uk.businessinsider.com/?IR=C ----------------------------------------­­­­---------- Business Insider UK is the largest business news site for British readers and viewers in the UK.
