Two Wavelengths

The device is equipped with two wavelengths, 1064 nm and 532 nm, and is therefore able to remove both dark colors and pigments, as well as light and red colors. This new technology allows for comparatively fast and efficient treatment.

The removal of the ink in your skin proceeds as follows:

The color pigments are broken up into small pieces by the laser beam, so that they can be broken down further and removed by macrophages through the lymphatic system.

Depending on what kind of tattoo is to be lasered and what kind of result is required, different numbers of sessions are needed.
