Laser Tattoo Removal

ND:YAG Laser Tattoo Removal

ND:YAG Tattoo Removal is a highly effective, non-invasive laser treatment designed to safely and efficiently remove unwanted tattoos. Using the Q-switched ND:YAG laser, high-powered light energy targets and breaks down tattoo ink particles, allowing the body to naturally eliminate the pigment over time.

This advanced technology offers a safe and precise solution for tattoo removal, suitable for a wide range of ink colours and skin types. While multiple sessions are typically required, most clients experience significant fading and improvement with each treatment.

Results vary depending on factors such as tattoo size, ink colour, and skin type, so a consultation with a licensed professional is essential to develop a personalised treatment plan tailored to your needs.

How ND:YAG Tattoo Removal Works

Laser Technology: The Q-switched ND:YAG laser emits high-intensity pulses of light at specific wavelengths—typically 1064 nm for darker inks (black, blue, green) and 532 nm for lighter inks (red, orange, yellow). These wavelengths are absorbed by the tattoo pigment in the skin.

Tattoo Ink Breakdown: The laser energy breaks down the ink into smaller fragments, which are gradually eliminated by the body’s immune and lymphatic system, resulting in fading over time.

Treatment Process: The laser targets the tattoo pigment while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy skin. Multiple sessions are usually needed for complete removal, depending on tattoo size, ink color, depth, and location.

Healing: After treatment, mild redness, swelling, or a sunburn-like sensation may occur, typically resolving within hours to a few days. Over time, the tattoo fades as the ink is naturally cleared from the body.

Benefits of ND:YAG Tattoo Removal

Effective for All Ink Colors: Targets a wide spectrum of inks—from dark tones (black, blue, green) to bright tones (red, orange, yellow).

Non-Invasive: No surgery or incisions are required, making it a safe alternative to traditional removal methods.

Minimal Risk of Scarring: When performed correctly, the risk of scarring is very low.

Precision: The laser selectively targets tattoo pigment, leaving surrounding skin unharmed.

Suitable for Most Skin Types: Safe for a variety of skin tones, with careful adjustment for darker complexions.

Gradual and Controlled Results: Fading occurs naturally over multiple sessions, providing safe, consistent results.

Treatment Process and Sessions

Number of Sessions: Most tattoos require 5–10 treatments, spaced 6–8 weeks apart.

Session Duration: Each session lasts 15–60 minutes, depending on tattoo size.

Post-Treatment Care: Follow aftercare instructions carefully—avoid sun exposure, keep the area clean, and apply any prescribed ointments for optimal healing.

Common Side Effects

Redness and Swelling: Temporary and normal after treatment.

Blistering or Scabbing: May occur; avoid picking or scratching the area.

Pigmentation Changes: Rare hypopigmentation or hyperpigmentation may happen but usually resolves over time.

Who is a Good Candidate?

Anyone with an Unwanted Tattoo: Whether for personal, professional, or aesthetic reasons.

Light to Dark Skin Tones: ND:YAG is versatile, with care taken for darker skin to prevent pigmentation changes.

Black or Dark-Colored Tattoos: Dark inks tend to respond faster and more effectively, though most colors can be treated.
