Laser Tattoo Removal and Ghosting
Ghosting is a term the industry gives to the residual image left by a tattoo after laser tattoo removal is performed. This image is called a ghost because treatment removes all of the tattoo dye, but also leaves the treated area slightly paler than the surrounding skin.
Ghosting is a typical side effect with many types of laser removal systems, since laser energy can affect the skin’s pigment. Fortunately, it is not a common side effect related to the Medlite C6, the laser we use here at Toronto Cosmetic Clinic.
