Q-Switched ND YAG Laser Tattoo Removal

The Best Technology for Removing Tattoos

Removing a tattoo is a personal, aesthetic choice for patients.  Many people get tattoos at a young age or at a different stage in their life, and their tastes change over time.

Q-switched lasers offer the best results for patients suffering from tattoo regret and are the only option that returns skin to its natural appearance.Q-switched lasers started to be utilized for laser tattoo removal in the late 90’s, and the technology has progressed immensely since then to give faster removal and better results for a wider range of ink colors and skin tones.

How It Works

The Q‐Switched Nd:YAG laser delivers light of specific wavelengths in very high peak energy

pulses which are absorbed by the pigment in the tattoo and result in an acoustic shockwave. The

shockwave shatters the pigment particles, releasing them from their encapsulation and breaking

them into fragments small enough for removal by the body. These tiny particles are then

eliminated by the body.

Since the laser light must be absorbed by the pigment particles, the laser wavelength must be

selected to match the absorption spectrum of the pigment. Q‐Switched 1064nm lasers are best

suited for treating dark blue and black tattoos, but Q‐Switched 532nm lasers are best suitable for

treating red and orange tattoos.

Different Types of Q-Switched Lasers

switched lasers work by sending light energy into the tattoo to shatter the tattoo ink. However, because different colors of tattoo ink absorb light differently, there are a variety of Q-switched lasers designed for treating different tattoo colors..

The most popular laser for tattoo removal is the Q-switched Nd:YAG laser because it produces three wavelengths of light energy (1064 nm ,532 nmand 1024nm) for the greatest versatility when treating ink colors.

The 1064 nm wavelength targets darker colors such as black, blue, green, and violet while the 532 nm wavelength targets brighter colors such as red, orange, yellow, and pink. 1024nm for carbon facial peeling.Its principle is to use very subtle carbon powder coated onto face, then laser light through special carbon tip gently irradiate onto face to achieve beauty effects, the melanin of carbon powder on face can double absorb the heat energy, so the heat energy of light can penetrate into the oil secretion of pores by means of this carbon powder to open blocked pores and to stimulate collagen hyperplasia, thus achieve pore shrinking, skin rejuvenation, oily skin enhancement, etc
