Tattoo Removal

Tattoo Removal

When patients consider tattoo removal, they mostly consider the issue with regards to their own unique situation - can my tattoo be remove? Thankfully, with today's technology, most tattoos can be removed completely. This article will discuss what tattoos can be removed easily, those that are more difficult to remove, and those that are very difficult or unlikely to be removed.

Tattoo removal patients seeking to remove tattoos have an opportunity that simply wasn't available 10 years ago. Modern Q-Switched Nd:YAG tattoo removal lasers use incredibly short bursts of energy to break up the ink in a tattoo. The wavelengths of light are either absorbed by the tattoo or through their intensity and short duration are able to shatter the pigment particles. Some colors respond more easily to the wavelengths of light generated by the laser.

The 1064nm wavelength is very effective is breaking up darker ink - black, brown, purple, dark blue, etc. The 532nm wavelength is used for lighter colors - red, orange, green, yellow, etc. Combining these two wavelengths within the same session allows the tattoo removal clinic in Dallas to successfully remove most tattoo.
