About half of all people who get tattoos end up regretting it. Laser tattoo removal is the only way to truly remove a tattoo. The process, which uses what are called "Q-switch" laser tattoo removal machines. How do these lasers work in tattoo removal? Tattoos consist of particles of ink suspended in the skin. While skin grows and discards skin particles, the ink particles remain permanent because the particles are too big. "Q-switch" or pulsed laser tattoo removal treatment breaks up the ink into much smaller particles, allowing the normal body process to remove the ink. Because darker pigments such as blue and black absorb more laser energy the laser tattoo removal of these colors goes more quickly. Lighter colors such as pinks and yellows take more tattoo removal procedures because they tend to reflect more of the laser energy away. Most patients who receive laser tattoo removal treatments report feeling a slight pulse in tandem with the laser pulse that feels like a small rubber band being lightly snapped against the skin.

Laser treatment is commonly used to treat a variety of skin irritations such as excessive hair, unwanted tattoos and hyperpigmentation. Although it can be costly, many people turn to laser treatment as a long-term solution to their recurring skin problems. Advantages of laser therapy typically include minimal bloodshed with better therapeutic results and decreased chance of infection, making it a popular choice. Expert Advice on Laser TreatmentBecause laser treatment technology is so complex, it is crucial to choose the right equipment when removing tattoos and pigmented lesions. Dermatologist and laser expert George Hruza says practically any laser can spot melanin, but some lasers are superior to others. The pulse width must be less than 1 us in order to successfully target the melanosomes. If the pulse is higher than 1 us, it can cause a fatal disorder called epidermal necrosis. Q-switched Lasers are More AccurateDr. Hruza highly recommends the use of Q-switched lasers when removing lesions and tattoos. Q-switched lasers are available in Nd:YAG, alexandrite and ruby, all of which are efficient. Long pulsed lasers and IPL are also adequate for these procedures but are more dangerous. This is why Dr. Hruza swears by Q-switched lasers for the treatment of separate lesions. Ablative lasers get rid of pigment by eliminating the epidermis. Therefore, partial ablative lasers should mainly be used for area treatments, to immediately remove a large number of lesions. Pigmentation TreatmentsNevus of Ota is characterized as a hyperpigmentation of the face. For pigmented lesions like these, Dr. Hruza uses Q-switched lasers that pulse every nanosecond. For the best results, Dr. Hruza recommends putting off further treatment of melanocytic dermal lesions until at least 4 months after the previous session. Similarly, because of the potentially dangerous side effects produced by bulk heating of the lesion. Minocycline pigmentation also requires Q-switched lasers for treatment. However, Dr. Hruza believes that the amount of chromophore makes for a painful treatment. Some Pigmentations are Difficult to RemoveBecker's nevus is one pigmentation that has never been successfully treated long-term by Q-switched lasers, or any laser for that matter. This is due to a dermal component that sets off the pigmentation, preventing the laser from clearing the entire area. Neither is there a known laser treatment for melisma, but Q-switched and Nd:YAG lasers are best for temporary results. Rosacea, a skin condition that causes skin to swell and become red, is also difficult to treat but can be controlled by some lasers. On a lighter note, freckles are treatable using a fractional thulium laser, which requires annual treatment. Tattoo RemovalFor tattoo clearing, different ink colors require different lasers. Usually the best way to determine this is to select the color that is opposite of the tattoo color. Most tattoo treatments are spaced at least 6 weeks apart, longer for the legs, to allow time for the skin to heal. Facial tattoos typically require the least amount of treatments whereas leg tattoos can require upwards of 20 treatments. Multi-colored tattoos however, are nearly impossible to treat, as it would require several different lasers. Although laser therapy is beneficial in many ways, there are also some risks that need to be acknowledged. Laser treatment can cause bleeding, pain, scarring, herpes and infection, which is why it is always important to go to a doctor who follows safe and clean practices.

| 5 things you can do to increase the success of your <b>laser tattoo</b> <b>...</b> Posted: 01 Apr 2014 05:14 AM PDT So you've decided to remove your tattoo. Great. But did you know there are a few basic things you can do to help speed the process up? At Laser Skin Solutions we often get asked if there is anything patients can do in order to speed up their laser tattoo removal. The answer is 'yes', there are 5 things which you can do in order to help you get the most out of each laser tattoo removal treatment. The good news? You may be doing most of them already. Laser tattoo removal relies on your immune system to clear away the ink. More specifically, it relies on your white blood cells to do the clearing up job. At our Bournemouth laser clinic we use a powerful Active Q-switched Nd:YAG laser which delivers the energy in nanoseconds. What this does is, it shatters the ink into tiny particles so that your white blood cells can come along and get rid of the ink. So, the better a person's immune system and the more aggressive a person's white blood cells, the more successful a laser tattoo removal treatment will be. Location also affects the speed at which it's possible to remove a tattoo with laser treatment. The further away from the heart a tattoo is located (e.g. ankle), the longer it takes for that tattoo to fade. Take for instance, a young, healthy, fit 20 year old with a tattoo on his/her chest. Compare this to someone in their 50s who has been partial to drinking and smoking for 30 years and is sporting a tattoo on his/her ankle – and you can start to see why laser tattoo removal treatment times can vary. Smoking is the single biggest barrier to successful tattoo removal. It has been estimated that it can slow the process by up to 70%, according to an article published by the University of Florida. The number one thing therefore that you can do to help speed up your laser tattoo removal is to avoid cigarettes. So, the 5 things you can do to help your laser tattoo removal are all centred around boosting your immune system:
Point 5 may come as a surprise to you, but committing to treatment and accepting that you're in this for the long haul, can be the difference between successfully removing the tattoo or not. Because laser tattoo removal involves a gradual fading process, clients can sometimes feel like giving up. But keeping to your appointment schedule and not allowing large time gaps to lapse is all part and parcel for successful laser tattoo removal within the least time possible. At Laser Skin Solutions we recommend a 6 – 8 week gap between treatments and don't recommend treatment any sooner than 6 weeks. Want to know more about laser tattoo removal?
