Laser Tattoo Removal Frequently Asked Questions

Our Q-Switched tattoo removal laser is the latest advanced technology to remove unwanted tattoos it has revolutionized the industry by offering a safe and effective solution for individuals with varying skin tones. Whether you have fair skin or darker pigmentation, our lasers can effectively target and remove unwanted ink from all areas of the body without causing any harm to the surrounding skin.

Our Q-switched technology specifically targets the ink pigments present in the tattoo without causing damage to the surrounding skin. The process begins with the laser emitting a beam of light, which passes harmlessly through the upper layers of the skin. The laser light is selectively absorbed by the tattoo ink particles because of its specific wavelength. Once the ink particles absorb the laser energy, they heat up rapidly, causing them to shatter into tiny fragments. These fragmented particles are then gradually eliminated from the body through the lymphatic system, leading to gradual fading
