Q-switched lasers remove tattoos by delivering laser light into the skin in very short bursts of energy, creating a photoacoustical effect that fragments the ink and allows the bodys natural process of phagocytosis to eliminate the dispersed ink particles. Since laser light is monochromatic, different wavelengths are required to treat different tattoo colors. In general, Q-switched alexandrite lasers like the ALEXLAZR are effective on the more common green, blue, and black tattoo inks while Q-switched Nd:YAG lasers favor red, blue, and black pigmentations.
The ALEXLAZR from Candela is simple in its design and efficacious in its use. By selecting the proper spot size and fluence parameters and by taking advantage of the ALEXLAZRs 5 HZ repetition rate, tattoos are treated quickly and effectively.
The clinical endpoint of the treatment is a slight discoloration of the tattoo. The laser-tissue interaction can also be readily followed during the laser treatment using the ALEXLAZR, helping to assure patient safety.
