What Is Laser Tattoo Removal?
Laser tattoo removal is a non-invasive procedure that uses focused light energy to break down the pigment particles in the tattoo ink. Our ND:YAG laser system operates at two primary wavelengths — 1064 nm and 532 nm — to effectively target a wide spectrum of ink colours. The 1064 nm wavelength is most effective on darker colors like as black, blue, and green, but the 532 nm wavelength is ideal for brighter colors like red, orange, yellow, and purple.
How the Process Works
Laser tattoo removal involves two primary mechanisms:Ultra-rapid laser pulses
Each pulse happens in billionths of a second, delivering high energy directly to the tattoo pigment.
Selective photothermolysis
The ink particles absorb the laser energy, shatter into microscopic fragments, and are naturally eliminated by the body over time.
This combination makes the process highly effective while preserving the surrounding healthy skin.
Procedure Overview
Preparation
A numbing cream is applied to the targeted area 30–45 minutes before the session to ensure maximum comfort.
Laser Treatment
The laser is precisely focused on the tattooed skin. Depending on the size and complexity of the tattoo, each session lasts between 15 to 45 minutes.
Post-Session Care
Mild redness and swelling may appear for 1–2 days. There is generally no significant pain post-treatment. Gradual fading of the tattoo will occur over 4 to 8 weeks following each session.
Number of Sessions Required
Tattoo removal is a gradual procedure, and the total number of sessions depends on numerous factors:
Ink Age
Older tattoos are easier to remove as the pigment has naturally faded over time.
Ink Color
Black and red pigments are easier to break down, while green, yellow, and blue may require more sessions.
Ink Density
Heavily saturated tattoos take longer to fade
Tattoo Depth
Professional tattoos often contain multiple layers of ink and therefore take longer to remove compared to amateur tattoos.
Body Location
Areas with better blood circulation (like the chest or arms) tend to clear ink faster than regions like fingers, toes, or ears.
On average, 4 to 14 sessions may be required to achieve optimal results, spaced several weeks apart to allow the skin to heal and the body to process the fragmented ink.
