Laser light reacts with the ink in the tattoo, and breaks it down. During a tattoo removal treatment, laser light is applied to the tattooed area of the skin. With new advances in Q-switched laser technology, removal of unwanted tattoos can be achieved with minimal risk of scarring or permanent pigmentary alteration of the surrounding skin.

This uniformity allows us to use the Q-switch laser remove broader areas of ink from skin at the same depth. It is almost impossible to remove the tattoo pigment without affecting the surrounding tissue.
The tattoo pigment injected into dermis becomes sealed away by a tough network of collagen fibers. After each treatment, the ink tattoos are increasingly beginning to fade, and after several treatments completely disappears. After several treatments, more and more of the ink shatters, leaving the skin free of ink. The broken-down ink is then absorbed by the body's immune system, mimicking the natural fading that time or sun exposure would create. The tattoo ink absorbs the laser energy, and shattersinto smaller ink particles.
