Laser Tattoo Removal Technologies—How It Works

Permanent tattoos may start fading slightly over time, but removing them naturally from the body is never a successful process. The body immediately triggers the white blood cells to flush out the ink particles. But without proper care, the tattoo removal can lead to infections, scarring, and permanent damage.

This is where different types of laser technologies come into the picture, and it is done through special ultra-short laser pulses. The lasers release extremely hot light beams in very quick bursts that heat up and break the ink particles apart. With these advanced laser tattoo removal technologies, the old tattoo inks can be successfully removed without damaging the surrounding skin tissues. The tattoo ink is imprinted on the second layer of the skin (the dermis). Laser shots target these ink particles in the form of high-intensity shots. The particles are shattered into smaller ones and get flushed out by our body’s immune system naturally.

The laser tattoo removal method is a non-surgical and very minimally invasive method where you get a scar-free permanent tattoo removal. Different laser systems, like the Q-Switched lasers, the latest PicoWay laser systems, and the fractional CO2 laser methods, are highly sought by the majority of people to get rid of their tattoos. At Belle Cosmetic in Dubai, laser tattoo removal methods provide a premium service sought after by people who expect perfection with precision. Discover what makes us one of the best technology-equipped clinics for safe and effective tattoo removal.

The Different Types of Laser Technologies for Tattoo Removal

Laser tattoo removal technologies are uniquely designed for some main factors. They are based on the types of skin, age of the tattoo, color, intensity of ink, etc.; depending on which, the laser technology will operate in different wavelengths for those. You may note that there are three major laser tattoo removal methods.

PicoWay Technology

PicoWay laser systems are known for using their picosecond pulses of laser beams that shatter ink particles into the tiniest ones. It is found to be effective on new and multicoloured tattoos and is delivered with minimal skin damage. This technology gets credit for shallow or multicolored tattoos, but it might not always be consistent with its results for deeper tattoos, which were done years back, and the ink might have been very stubborn in traditional tattooing methods. That is why Belle Cosmetic Dubai uses a more trusted laser technology called the Q-switched laser method, which is discussed next.

Q-Switched Laser Technology

This method works based on using high-intensity, ultra-short light pulses that are delivered in nanoseconds to the targeted tattoo area. Q-switched lasers have been widely used for tattoo removal for a long time. It breaks down the ink particles that are trapped in the skin into very tiny particles, like shattering glass into dust, without damaging the skin tissues around it. This makes them easier to get flushed out by the body naturally. Q-switched technology can treat the most stubborn ink.

We, at Belle Cosmetic Dubai, have chosen Q-switched laser tattoo removal technology because we have time-tested its performance. It has been proven that it is the most effective method of removing tattoos that are of various colors and the deeply inked ones. The Q-switched method is suitable for almost all skin tones, unlike the PicoWay method.

Fractional CO2 Lasers

This method is used for removing tattoos that have resistant pigmented tattoos and removing any scarring from the previous tattoo removal attempts. This method is typically not recommended by most tattoo removal specialists because it is an aggressive method of tattoo removal and might involve the removal of some skin tissues, which might require a longer healing time. Of course, people don’t want that to happen to them, and that is what makes Q-switched laser technology more in demand for a better reason. The Q-switched laser method provides faster healing, very little discomfort, and perfect results.

Choosing the Right Technology for Your Tattoo

Each person might have gotten their tattoos done in different ways. Those are the first most important factors to consider before choosing the right technology for you. Who did the tattoo? Was it a professional tattoo artist, an amateur, a traditional method (homemade), or an aesthetic tattoo done in a clinic? Not all tattoos are equal, and hence, the technology used to remove them is also not going to be a one-size-fits-all method. There are some critical factors to be considered before deciding which laser tattoo removal method is the one for you. Those factors are the colour of the tattoo, the age, and the location on your body where your tattoo was done. Let us have a look at these factors in detail.

Color of the tattoo—People might get attracted to colorful tattoos and may try them. But when it comes to getting rid of them, not all laser removal methods act the same for all colors. Dark colors like black, navy blue, and black pigments absorb laser beams faster and respond best to Q-switched lasers. Whereas lighter colors like green, yellow, and red can be a bit more stubborn, which will require a different wavelength of this laser removal method. You might have to sit for a few additional sessions for that. A variety of Q-switched methods are available with different wavelengths to treat different colors, as given below.

  1. Q-switched Nd: YAG—Suitable for removing black, navy blue, and deep red inks.

  2. Q-switched Ruby—Suitable for removing green and blue pigments.

  3. Q-switched Alexandrite—Suitable for removing green and blue inks.

Age of the Tattoo—If you are looking to remove a tattoo done a few decades ago, then you are at ease. Yes, the older the tattoos are, the less effort is needed to get rid of them. Tattoos are permanent, but the ink does have the flip side of fading off over time. If you have done a fresh tattoo, maybe a year or a month ago, you will need to undergo a greater number of sessions.

Location of the tattoo—where you have done the tattoo on your body is a very important factor too. Because there are parts of your body that will have more blood flow than other parts. If you have done a tattoo where there is more blood circulation, then your healing becomes easier and fading occurs faster. Blood circulation is usually lowest in the parts away from the heart (wrists, hands, ankles, feet, etc.), and they will need more sessions to fade completely.

Keeping all this in mind, we at Belle Cosmetic have the best tattoo removal technology in Dubai city with the right solution for every factor mentioned above with our Q-switched laser technology.
