Laser specialists now use the highly successful Q-Switched lasers to remove tattoos with extremely low risk of scarring.The Nd:YAG laser is the newest member of the Q-Switched class of lasers. This laser will emit certain wavelengths of light. When the wavelengths emitted come in contact with the skin, they pass through the skin but are absorbed by tattoo pigment.The Nd:YAG laser is designed to emit the wavelengths of light that most closely match the colors of ink most common to tattoos.When the light from the laser hits the skin, while passing through the skin, it will be absorbed by the ink only and break the ink up. The ink is then removed by the body through its natural filtering system. You will be able to see your tattoo fading away.
