The Q-switched Yag is the best laser for tattoo removal. It is specifically targeted to the pigment in tattoos. Our laser has 4 different wavelengths or colors that we can use to pick up the different color in multicolored tattoos.   The Yag laser for tattoos usually takes multiple treatments. Usually between 4 and 20.   Multiple variable determine ease of removal. Non-professional tattoos are more easily removed. Black tattoos, line art, and older tattoos are more easily removed.   The treatment is painful and most choose to use a topical anesthetic. The tattoo may blister or scab after treatments.   Treatments are 2 months apart.
