We are here today to talk about tattoo removal.Now that's a really interesting sociological question,because who gets tattoos used to be that if you going to get a tattoo,you had better be real delivered about it and sure about yourself,because once you put it in,it's not coming out,it was gonna be permanent.
Fortunately,today with a whole variety of very sophisticated lasers,we can get that tattoo ink right on out.Now,it hurt going in and it is going to hurt coming out,but we can get it out with a series of treatments,layer by layer all that ink can be removed.
The principle of laser tattoo removal is that the laser penetrates the surface of the skin and is absorbed by the pigment in the tattoo pigment. After absorption, the pigment is instantly heated, causing it to decompose, break down, and evaporate. During the process of metabolism, pigments are engulfed by cells and excreted from the skin over time, ultimately causing the color of the tattoo to fade away and the remaining color to no longer be noticeable.
Tattoo removal is a slow process, and even if laser cleaning is used to remove tattoos, it needs to be done multiple times before removal, and it is very easy to leave marks.
Now,ink and therefore colors or pigmentation are very specific,in that they respond to different frequencies of energy.
And so for each different color you might have in a tattoo,you might need a different kind of laser to interact with that ink and get it out.And that's why there are six different frequencies and types of lasers for interacting with all sorts of different kinds of pigment.

Tattoo Colors |
Red /Yellow |
Blue/ Black |
|
Laser Wavelength |
532nm |
755nm and 1064nm 755nm laser has better clarity efficiency, but its ability to penetrate the skin is limited. In this case, we will use 1064nm laser with deeper penetration to destroy pigment particles |
