Tattoo Removal Application

Q-switched Nd:YAG and Pico lasers, which have four different wavelengths are used for tattoo removal, lesions containing all kinds of pigment (color), as well as skin rejuvenation treatments.

Application Method

High-energy laser pulses are absorbed by the pigments without harming the skin, they are split into pieces, and removed from the area by being cleaned by garbage collector cells. It is a method that has a fast recovery process, few side effects, and can be safely applied to any skin type.

Frequently Asked Questions

Because a single wavelength laser system can only be effective in limited color range and it would be quite expensive to buy lasers of all the different wavelengths, manufacturers have merged multiple wavelengths into a single system. In general, in these multi-source systems some wavelengths are separated into different wavelengths by various technologies, allowing to work on more color ranges. Many believe that the 1064nm Nd:YAG laser is ideal as an initial wavelength. The use and advantages of the 1064nm wavelength in aesthetic applications have been extensively researched and reported, down to the last detail. One of its most attractive characteristics is, this wavelength can hardly be absorbed by melanin, therefore it can be used safely on darker skin types.

In general, any tattoo can be removed. However, black tattoos, which we describe as colorless, are much easier to remove. Among the colored tattoos, the two most difficult colors to remove are green and red. In people with a tendency to scaring, sometimes there may be swelling in the removal area or a white mark may stay. However, the rate of deletion without any trace is high.

The smooth removal process of tattoos depends on several factors. While tattoos or permanent make-up which contain black and blue pigments can be easily removed, those with yellow, red, and green pigments are very difficult to treat. Old tattoos, that is, at least 6 months old, are removed much more successfully compared to amateur tattoos. Apart from that, the recovery speed of the person's skin is important. The tattoo can be removed without any problems with the appropriate device and appropriate doses.

Lasers produce short-pulsed concentrated light energy, which is concentrated on a certain area without being scattered. This light passes through the upper layers of the skin without damaging it, and selectively splits the pigments that make up the tattoo into small particles. These tiny particles are then destroyed by the body's immune (defense) system. The devices used in laser tattoo removal and permanent make-up processes produce rays at the wavelength that will be best absorbed by the tattoo pigments. These rays are only absorbed by the pigment and do not affect the normal tissues around the tattoo.

It is generally a method that causes pain. The procedure is not performed without applying local anesthesia. Professional tattoos can be removed easily when regular session intervals and the recommended number of sessions are applied (the exact number of sessions is not provided, on average 6-20 sessions). At least 6 weeks should be allowed between two sessions of tattoo removal. The number of sessions vary, depending on the color of the pigment used in the tattoo, the depth of the pigment, and the size of the tattoo. Light skin is always preferred.

Since amateur tattoos are not made by a skilled person, the pigments can be delivered to different depths. In this case, it becomes difficult to remove the pigments that are delivered to excessive depth. Professionally made tattoos are usually in the lower layers of the skin and at the same depth.

Make-up on eyebrows, lips and around the eyes can often be safely removed by laser. Areas such as the face and neck are rich in capillaries and achieve rapid recovery.

After the removal process you should stay away from the rays of the sun. You should not go out without applying sunscreen. Water contact should be avoided for two days after the application. Color changes and sometimes bleeding spots may occur on the area of tattoo or permanent make-up. These epithelial changes heal within 3-7 days. After the application, topical cream treatment is prescribed which provides wound healing.
