Tattoo Removal

We use a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser to fade tattoos.  This has two separate wavelengths so that different coloured inks can be treated.  The bright light of the laser heats up the tattoo ink and causes it to fade.  The fading is slow and many treatments are usually required.  Black ink absorbs all the laser light and therefore does the best.  Some coloured inks are very tough and will not fade with any laser.  Green ink usually falls into this category.  Amateur indian ink tattoos respond very well to treatment.  Multi coloured professional tattoos do less well.  If you are considering laser tattoo removal you should read the detailed advice sheet.
