Tattoo Removal

Q-switched lasers are highly effective tools for removing complex and multi-colored tattoos. They produce very short pulses of intense light that can pass harmlessly through the top layers of skin. These lasers use treatment-specific pigments to selectively absorb the light, making them perfect for tattoo removal.

Fotona's Q-Switched laser technology generates high-energy nanosecond pulses that can remove many tattoos. Using larger spot sizes at very high energy, the laser can reach deeper-lying pigmented structures, significantly enhancing the efficacy and efficiency of the laser treatment in a single session.

Fotona's Q-Switched lasers offer four wavelengths in one system, making it possible to treat virtually all commonly used pigment colors. The extremely short energy pulses cause tattoo pigments to break into smaller particles, which are then removed by the body's immune system. Although most tattoo procedures take only a few minutes, several treatments are usually needed to eradicate a tattoo. A three-week interval between sessions is required to ensure the body clears pigment residue adequately.
