Our Laser Tattoo Removal technology removes
unwanted tattoos and pigmented lesions. It emits a
highly focused beam of laser light, which passes
harmlessly through the outer layer of the skin and is
absorbed primarily by the tattoo ink or the excess
pigment within the lesion.
As the light is absorbed, it is quickly converted to heat.
The sudden rise in temperature within the treatment
target fractures the ink or pigment into tiny particles.
Tattoo ink fragments are carried away by the lymphatic
system, while pigmented lesions are naturally shed
from the skin one to two weeks after treatment.

| Q. |
What kinds of Tattoos and Pigmented Lesions can
be treated? |
| A. |
A tattoo's colour, depth, and the chemical
composition of the ink all affect how it responds to
laser light. Black, red, dark orange, and dark blue
tattoos will usually respond relatively quickly to
treatments.
Green, purple, brown, light orange, and light blue
colours may require more treatments. In general,
most tattoos can be successfully treated, given a
sufficient number of treatments.
A wide range of pigmented lesions can also be treated,
including freckles, sunspots, and many browncoloured
birthmarks. |

| Q. |
Does it hurt? |
| A. |
Many people compare the sensation of the pulses
entering the skin to the snap of a rubber band. If the"snaps" are too uncomfortable, topical or local
anesthesia may be necessary. |
| |
|
| Q. |
What happens after treatment? |
| A. |
Immediately after laser exposure, the treated areas
may become whitish-coloured and swell slightly. This
whiteness subsides in about 30 minutes. |
