What is Laser Tattoo Removal<\/h2>\n

Basically, Laser Tattoo Removal works by delivering short, powerful pulses of laser energy to the tattoo, which shatters the ink particles<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Removal techniques have come a long way since the days of skin grafting, skin removal, or the use of infra-red and other non-medical lasers.\u00a0At Victoria Med Spa, we offer highly effective tattoo removal using the Q-Switched ND:YAG laser. This is the gold standard for tattoo removal. Featuring both 1064 and 532 nm wavelengths, our laser system efficiently targets a variety of pigment colors, including black, blue, green, red and orange.<\/p>\n

The Q-Switched Nd YAG Laser is specially designed for the purpose of tattoo removal. This laser allows very high-powered laser light to be delivered to the skin over a fraction of a second. This minimizes any damage that could be caused by overheating the surrounding skin and hence any chance of scarring is greatly reduced.<\/p>\n

The Q-Switched ND:YAG releases light energy at the rate of nanoseconds and selectively targets ink molecules within the tattoo, breaking the molecules into smaller particles.\u00a0 These particles can then be cleared by your body\u2019s natural immune system. You will see both instant fading at the time of treatment as well as gradual fading in the weeks following your treatment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t

The Treatment Procedure<\/h2>\n

The laser tattoo removal treatment can take on average around 30 minutes, depending on the surface area of the tattoo being targeted. Discomfort during the treatment can usually be eliminated by the use of local anesthetics.<\/p>\n

Immediately after the treatment, redness and swelling may occur, but will generally subside within 48 hours. Pinpoint bleeding may also occur particularly in the early treatments when a surgical dressing will be applied to give additional protection.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n\n\t
