How Does Laser Tattoo Removal Work?
Laser tattoo removal is a non-invasive process that targets the pigment in the tattoo, breaking it down into smaller particles that can be naturally removed by the body’s immune system. The process begins by using a high-powered laser to emit a specific wavelength of light that is absorbed by the tattoo ink. This absorption causes the ink particles to vibrate and break down, a process known as the mechanical Q-switched effect. The shattered ink particles are then flushed away by the body’s immune system, causing the tattoo to fade over time.
The Q-switched Nd:YAG laser is the most commonly used laser for tattoo removal and is available on the Harmony XL PRO laser system at Estetica Spa. The high-power Q-Switched Nd:YAG 1064 nm laser is ideal for treating darker ink colors such as black, blue, and green, while the 532 nm wavelength is effective for brighter ink colors like red, orange, and yellow. The treatment itself is relatively quick, lasting anywhere from 5 minutes to over an hour, depending on the size and complexity of the tattoo. Additionally, since anesthesia is not necessary for the procedure, patients can undergo treatment without any discomfort or sedation.
