TATTOO Removal

What is Q-Switch YAG Laser treatment?
This is a laser procedure in which a beam of light at a specific wavelength is applied to the skin and is absorbed by colored pigments in the skin, including melanin and tattoo pigments.

How many treatments will I need?
Light pigmentation like freckles, age spots and sun marks may disappear after a single treatment. Most pigment will disappear after two treatments.
Tattoo removal will require 2 to 5 treatments depending on the size of the tattoo and the different colors used. It has been observed in about 20% of cases that a dark spot appears once the scab has fallen off after treatment. Normal pigmentation of the skin should be achieved within 2 to 3 months


How does it work?
The laser YAG System is a high-powered laser that removes unwanted tattoos and pigmented lesions (sunspots, freckles, etc.). It emits a highly focused beam of laser light, which passes harmlessly through the outer layer of the skin and is absorbed primarily by the tattoo ink or the excess pigment with the lesion.

As the light is absorbed, it is quickly absorbed, and is quickly converted to heat. The sudden rise in temperature with the treatment target fractures the ink or pigment into tiny particles. Tattoo ink fragments are carried away by the lymphatic system, while pigmented lesions are naturally shed from the skin one to two weeks after treatment.
