Our tattoo removal treatment uses q-switch laser technology to target the ink of the tattoo and to apply localized pulses of light, aimed to decompose the tattoo’s pigment clusters. This pulsed light safely passes through the skin’s outer layer and is absorbed by the ink. The light is then converted to heat, which breaks the ink down into much smaller, more manageable particles. The body’s lymphatic system then filters these particles out over several weeks’ time and, as this natural elimination occurs, the tattoo fades and eventually disappears.
