 About the Nd YAG Laser:
‘Q.switched Nd YAG’ lasers are a highly focused medical laser which worldwide are found to be the most ideal laser available for the removal of tattoos, most especially the removal of tattoos with darker inks.
How the laser works:
The Q.Switched Nd YAG’ is a highly focused (Monochromatic Coherent) laser which has a beam that is conducted (attracted) by dark colour in preference to light colour. In the case of a tattoo the dark colour that conducts the laser is the ink in the tattoo and the light colour that the laser is not attracted by is the colour of the skin surrounding the tattoo. When the beam of the laser strikes the ink in a tattoo it shatters the ink into very fine particles that are no longer visible to the eye and are small enough to be absorbed and removed by the bodies own cell cleaning (lymphatic) system.
Frequently Asked Questions:
How frequent are the treatments?
| Time is required between each treatment in order to allow the body’s lymphatic (cleaning) system to remove the ink that has been treated by the laser. A minimum period of six (6) weeks between treatments is recommended. |
How long after being tattooed can removal commence?
| Removal can commence as soon as the tattoo has completely healed. Although it may appear healed within a week or two your tattoo will still require further time to completely heal prior to removal commencing. A minimum period of six (6) weeks is advised. Your initial consultation can take place at any time during the six weeks. |
What are ‘dark’ inks?
| The term ‘dark ink’ is used to refer to any of the following; black, dark blue, outline blue, greywash and shading in any of the above. |
Can the area be re-tattooed?
| Yes the area can be re-tattooed following laser removal. Whether you have had complete removal, partial removal or just lightening of the area will be able to be re-tattooed. The wish to replace an existing tattoo is a common reason for having laser tattoo removal. |
How many treatments will I need?
The number of treatments required varies based on a number of factors which include - amount of ink, type of ink, depth of ink and your skin type. A reasonable estimate is between 6 and 10 treatments however depending on the above variables many people experience success after just 3 - 5 treatments and others after more than 10 treatments. Home made tattoos, fine line work and shading usually prove the easiest to remove and so often require fewer treatments.
