Laser Tattoo Removal
Over the past ten years, Q-Switch YAG lasers have shown to be very effective at removing tattoos. They deliver very high power, but very short, pulses of laser light, which pass through the skin and break up the particles of tattoo pigment, which are then destroyed by the body, removed by white blood cells and the lymphatic system. In addition, Q-Switch YAG laser treatments make pigment particles small enough to be destroyed faster than others. Multiple treatments, given about one month apart, are necessary for best results.
