YAG LASER TATTOO AND SUNSPOT REMOVAL

What are the benefits?

YAG laser treatment is commonly used to remove tattoos by breaking down the pigment in the tattooed skin. The laser emits a high-energy beam of light that is absorbed by the pigment in the tattoo, breaking it into smaller particles. These particles are then absorbed by the body's natural processes and eliminated.

How many treatments do I need?

It is important to note that multiple treatments are usually required to fully remove a tattoo. The number of treatments needed will depend on the size, color, and depth of the tattoo, as well as the patient's skin type and the type of laser used. It is also important to note that YAG laser treatment may not be effective for removing all tattoo colors.
