About Tattoos
The process of tattooing the skin with ink can be traced back thousands of years. Men and women of all ages have the desire to get tattooed and also wish that decision, once actioned, to be reversed. In mature age particularly, many perceive the mark of individuality and expression to be an impediment to social acceptability and employment. The loss of elasticity and colour can also make the tattoo stretch, warp, and look nothing like it was originally intended.
Tattoo Removal Solution
The Q-Switched ND:YAG works of the principle of selective thermolysis, delivering light quickly and at a very high energy level. This energy exposure selectively destroys the foreign pigment contained in the tattoo, breaking it into small pigment particles which are then removed by the body’s immune system. As the destruction of the pigment is preferential, minimum damage is caused to the surrounding skin.
