With Laser Tatto Removal, doctors can fade, lighten, and erase everything from small, single-color tattoos to large, multicolored ones. And, as importantly, there is little risk of the scarring or loss of pigmentation that the other procedures will cause. In many cases, the unwanted tattoo will completely disappear. Greater than 95% fading of the tattoo may be accomplished with laser treatments. However, it is very important to know that over 100 tattoo inks are in use worldwide today, none of which are regulated by the FDA. Not knowing which tattoo ink, how deep or how much was used, makes it impossible for the doctor or Dermatologist to predict the degree of removal on any given tattoo.		Often times, it is the color of the tattoo itself that determines the success of the laser removal procedure. The type of laser used to remove a tattoo depends on the tattoo's pigment colors. The Q-Switched Nd:YAG laser has become the standard laser for tattoo removal. This laser effectively removes black, blue, purple and red tattoo pigment. The VersaPulse laser combines four lasers in one unit, including three proven Q-switched lasers (Q-switched ND:YAG, Q-switched Alexandrite, and Q-switched FD ND:YAG) and is shown effective in treating all ink colors including yellow and green, typically the hardest colors to remove. The Medlite IV laser also combines laser technology & is effiective for multiple colors of tattoo ink.
