The UltraLight-Q Nd:Yag Laser System is a microprocessor-controlled, user friendly Nd:Yag laser system intended to effectively remove tattoos and pigmented lesions. The system consists of an optical path system, with the laser located in the handpick, the power supply system, computer control and an internal closed loop cooling system. The unit is activated for laser emission by a footswitch.

Tattoos

The laser light passes through the skin and is absorbed by the ink. The rapid absorption of the light energy causes the tattoo ink to break into tiny particles which can then be removed by the body’s own natural process. The surrounding skin is unharmed.

Typically, professional tattoos require 3-9 treatments approximately 6-8 weeks apart. The number of treatments depends on the amount of type of ink that was used and the depth of the ink in the skin. The dark (blue and black) and the red inks will resolve best. Orange and purples usually fade as well. The Kelly green and yellow inks are more difficult to be removed and may require additional treatments.

Pigmented Lesions

These areas of the skin contain high concentrations of melanin and are typically caused by an excess of the pigment commonly due to sun exposure, aging and congenital factors.

During treatment, the laser light is absorbed only by the unwanted melanin, raising the temperature to cause shattering of the pigment. The unwanted pigment cells (melanin) have been thoroughly fragmented without damage to the surrounding tissue. In weeks after treatment, the shattered melanin particles are eliminated through phagocytosis, whereby the fragmented pigments and the damaged melanocytes are absorbed by the body. Little or no trace of the initial lesion remains.
