Laser Tattoo removal is quickly one of the most commonly performed procedures aesthetic procedures. At Jeune we effectively and safely remove tattoos of all sizes and ink colours with the advanced Palomar Q-YAG 5 laser.
The Palomar Q-YAG 5 is a revolutionary Q-Switched Nd:YAG Laser designed mainly for tattoo removal. It features dual wavelengths to remove multiple tattoo colours simultaneously, a flat beam profile to distribute energy evenly and effectively and three spot sizes to provide versatile options. 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.
As the light is absorbed, it is quickly converted to heat. The sudden rise in temperature fractures the ink into tiny particles. Tattoo ink fragments then are carried away by the lymphatic system. Since only the tattoo dye is targeted by the laser, there is minimal risk of scarring or skin damage with laser tattoo removal.
