#Tattoos with turquoise and black light ink skin
The frosting of the skin will fade within 10-20 minutes after treatment. This happens due to the heat in created in the skin causes water in your skin to evaporate. Immediately when the laser is fired at the tattoo your skin will go white which we refer to as frosting of the skin.

As you progress with the laser treatments you’ll find the discomfort and pain will decrease since there is less ink that shatters and creates heat in your skin. The laser technician has ice packs available for you to use to cool down the treated tattoo. You will most likely experience some discomfort during the laser treatment and small amounts of pain in the area immediately after this is due to the heat created from the laser when it shatters the tattoo pigment that is imbedded in the collagen fibres in your skin. What can I expect and what will happen during the laser treatment. However, some older tattoos that are green can possibly be treated as they often were blue and yellow in mixed together (we can lighten the blue and the yellow would be left in the skin). Please note that we cannot treat GREEN, as we have a green light laser the ink wont absorb it. Difficult colours to remove are pastel colours such as pale blue, turquoise and pink.Ĭolours we cannot treat white, yellow, skin tones and UV ink. The radiation emitted by a tattoo removal laser is non-ionizing and carries no risk of cancer or other abnormal cell growth.Īs we use a green light Nd:YAG laser we can treat a vast array of colours black, red, brown, orange, blue, purple, and darker green hues. Tattoo removal lasers are very safe for use when used by a trained laser operator with proper safety equipment (goggles to protect the eyes). As the ink particles are removed, the tattoo begins to fade.

As the ink absorbs this light energy, the ink breaks down into smaller particles which is then evacuated from the body through normal immune response. The light energy produced tends to pass through normally pigmented skin and specifically targets the pigment on the tattoo ink deep in the dermis layer. This particular laser produces a very high power in quick pulses.
