FAQs

How does laser tattoo removal work?

High-intensity light beams to break down the tattoo ink particles, allowing the body's immune system to naturally eliminate them.

How many sessions will I need?

The number of sessions varies based on factors like tattoo size, ink colors, and individual skin characteristics. On average, multiple sessions (6-12) are required for optimal results.

Is laser tattoo removal painful?

Patients often experience some discomfort during the procedure, likened to the sensation of a rubber band snapping against the skin and then a “hot bacon grease” or scalding water feeling. The heat from the laser may also make the area warm to the touch. Topical anesthetics are used to minimize pain

Are there any side effects?

Temporary side effects may include redness, swelling, blistering, or scabbing. Serious complications are rare.

How long do sessions take?

Sessions typically last 15 (no numbing) to 30 minutes (with numbing), but this also can vary depending on the size and complexity of the tattoo.

How long should I wait between sessions?

The recommended time between sessions is usually 4-6 weeks to allow the immune system to eliminate the ink particles.

Can all types of tattoos be removed?

While significant progress can be made in all cases, complete removal can’t always be guaranteed. It’s important to discuss goals for removal to determine an accurate timeline for removal

Can anyone undergo laser tattoo removal?

In general, almost everyone can undergo laser tattoo removal. But keep in mind factors like skin type, medical history, and tattoo location may affect eligibility. Consultation with a qualified practitioner is recommended.

How soon after removal I can put makeup or sunscreen over the lasered area?

I typically use a Saniderm style clear bandage to protect the lasered area, which should ideally remain on for 12 hours, after 24 hours lotions, sunscreens and other topicals can be applied. However it is important to avoid acid containing products or steroidal cream to the area because that will make the skin sensitive and possilby prolong healing.

How does a laser remove tattoos?

Tattoos are made by injecting colored ink into your skin, creating a design that stays there for a long time. But sometimes, we may change our minds or want to get rid of a tattoo. That's where tattoo removal lasers come in!

Tattoo removal lasers are special machines that use powerful bursts of light to break up the ink particles in your skin. The laser sends out quick pulses of light that are absorbed by the tattoo ink. When the ink absorbs this light, it heats up really fast.

As the ink heats up, it expands and shatters into tiny fragments. It's like breaking a big cookie into many small crumbs. These shattered ink particles become much smaller and easier for your body to remove.

Now, you might wonder how your body clears away these tiny ink pieces. Well, our bodies have a natural defense system called the immune system. It's like an army that fights off any foreign invaders or unwanted substances.

Once the tattoo ink is shattered into small fragments, your immune system recognizes them as something that doesn't belong in your body. The immune system's cells called macrophages gobble up these tiny ink particles. They work like little vacuum cleaners, sucking up the shattered ink.

After the macrophages engulf the ink, they carry it away to the lymph nodes, which act as filters in your body. The lymph nodes help process and remove waste products, including the shattered tattoo ink. Over time, your body eliminates the ink particles through natural processes, like sweating and going to the bathroom.

It's important to note that tattoo removal is a gradual process and may require multiple laser sessions for complete removal. Your body needs time to clear away the shattered ink fragments, so it's a bit like erasing a drawing little by little.

So, when you come to our clinic for tattoo removal, we use advanced lasers to shatter the ink into tiny pieces. Then, your body's amazing immune system steps in to clear away those fragments, gradually fading your tattoo until it's gone.

We hope this explanation helps you understand how tattoo removal lasers work! If you have any more questions or want to schedule a consultation, feel free to reach out to us.

Ultra-High Peak Power for Intense Ink Shattering

Peak power is the difference for better ink shattering for faster ink removal. The Duality Laser Treatment Machine combines two advanced specifications – an ultra-short (6000 picosecond) pulse duration with high pulse energy  – to deliver strong peak power and photo-acoustic waves for ink fracturing.

With industry leading fluence options (up to 22 J/cm2), the Duality has immense power for treating dark and stubborn inks in fewer treatments.

The Duality model includes TruePower design to provide optimal output energy. The Duality creates TruePower through usage of large cylindrical crystals inside industry-leading optical cavities, high-intensity flash lamps, and precision optics for minimized energy bleed.

TruePower allows for maximum transference of energy, allowing practitioners to reach extreme levels of power for efficient ink removal. Our Duality Q-Switched laser offers effective results beyond the first few treatments and pushes through barriers to offer complete removal of stubborn ink later in the removal process.
