Laser tattoo removal technique
The most modern tattoo removal technique is referred to as Q-Switched laser which first searches for contrast pigments between your original skin tone and that of the tattoo. The laser directs heat at the skin to break down the tattoo’s ink into microscopic particles which can be easily absorbed by your body’s lymphatic system. Every single pulse of the Q-switched laser is of importance as single nanosecond pulses are more equipped to remove color pigments than multiple pulses which are of equal power. These laser machines in San Fernando, CA have three to four laser beams lengths for effective removal of tattoos of varied colors and inks.Duration of treatment and cost in medical spa
