Laser tattoo removal

It is also called photothermolysis.
Laser tattoo removal is the most common applied tattoo removal method.  It is considered the safest and low pain method therapy available.
Once you have opted to use laser removal method to remove your tattoo, you will be taken for analysis for which the following parameters will be gotten:

1. Your skin type and condition
2. The size of tattoo worn
3. Tattoo intricacy
4. Tattoo input depth into your skin
5. Tattoo location on your body
6. Tattoo type, that is, UV or conventional

Findings based on the above will give you estimation in terms of commitment in form of time and monetary reliability up to the healing time.
Laser tattoo machines differ in applications from one type to the next.  The machine to used for tattoo removal will be dictated by the tattoo ink color.  If your tattoo is small it will merely take ten minutes for tattoo removal.  Most often the tattoos are fairly big and the duration of the laser tattoo removal increases significantly.
Just as you prepare for tattoo placement, same cautions will be given to you.  Stressfully, you will keep off smoking if do.  Any drug you will take believingly that it will lower the tattoo removal pain is limited.  You are strongly advised against taking aspirin or profen because they are blood thinners.  You will not want to over-bleed.
Laser tattoo removal involves aiming the tattoo pigment with the tattoo removal laser machine.  The tattoo removal specialist exercises extreme care not to damage the surrounding tissues which cause complications. 
The beam from the tattoo removal laser is sent to the pigments in pulses but covers the entire tattoo region.
After this therapy other laser tattoo removal visits are arranged at a timely interval of at least six weeks.  This time is to allow your body heal and eject some of the already broken pigments.
The notorious ink pigment to remove is green; on the hand, the the most challenging skin to work on is the dark one.  The dark skins capability of being absorptive rather than reflective as the lighter skins make the pigments obscured.
A clinic or studio which effectively specialize in tattoo removal therapies will install at least three tattoo removal lasers.  The tattoo removal lasers with their respective tattoo removal abilities in terms of colors as listed below.

Tattoo removal laser types and pigments

Q-switched Ruby:694nm (Green, Black)

Q-switched Alexandrite:755nm (Green, Navy blue)

Q-switched Nd:Yag:1064nm (Pigments on dark skinned)

Q-switched Nd:Yag:522 (Black, Red, Orange, Navy blue)

Laser tattoo removal factors

Laser tattoo removal technique bases the assertion of the theory of selective photothermolysis.  This process entails selecting a given colored pigment and destroying it.  The destruction effectiveness is influenced by following four key parameters:

1. Exposure time of the laser energy upon the target pigment.  The time is normally extremely very short just adequate to fragment tattoo pigments.  The exposure time or called pulse duration is measured in terms of nanoseconds (ns), that is one billionth of a second.  It is ensured the energized pigments do not dissipate heat to the surrounding body tissues and therefore cause burns or scars.
2. Tattoo removal laser light must be sufficient to reach down into the skin to embrace the targeted pigments of tattoo.
3. Tattoo removal laser light color must intensely be absorbed the tattoo pigment.  This is so because various tattoo pigments are photochromatic selective.
4. The pulse emitted by the tattoo removal laser must possess enough pigment fragmentation energy.  This is called fluence and is pulse energy intensity measured per square millimetres.

The tattoo removal lasers are commonly specified the wavelength of its emission measured in nanometres (nm) or one billionth of a metre.  For example Q-switched Alexandrite:755nm emits laser light of whose wavelength is 755 mm (7.55 x 10^-7m).  This is a highly energized red light emission.
Now, complete laser tattoo removal from the body relies on the tattoo pigment particles being fragmented.  When the tattoo is first put on, it comprises big particles that the body cannot effectively use it fighting mechanism to dissolve the particles.
By the use of use of tattoo removal laser, the particles are then broken down and then left for body to do it natural cleansing.
Duration of the tattoo removal therefore depends on the fragmentation and letting the body do the rest.

After laser tattoo removal

Once the tattoo removal is completed many factors contribute to fast healing.  Remember well planned exercises, adequate rest and sleep, well balanced diet and not smoking will enhance speedy recovery.
Lastly, laser tattoo removal wound is similar to getting burns.  It is recommended to observe after-burn safety measures to recover fast.  However, should the laser tattoo removal wound develop anomalies, please do fail to see a doctor.
