Tattoo Ideas for Life
Tattoo pigments
Tattoos and tattoo removal have been around for centuries. Since the time when tattoos were first used as a form of punishment or mark, people have sought ways to remove them. Fortunately these days, the decision to remove a tattoo is personal and usually related to a change of taste and vision life.
Before laser, tattoos were able to be removed in a number of ways, including salt-abrasion (Salabrasion), dermabrasion, removal acid, or surgical excision procedure. These methods were very effective, but they were painful and left scars. Laser tattoo removal originally started as a way to burn a tattoo. Lasers such as CO2 and argon laser were used, but were not much better than destructive surgical methods, leaving wounds open that had to heal with time. The advent of Q-switched lasers was a turning point in the tattoo removal laser. These lasers work by a completely different mechanism than ablative lasers (the kind that destroy the skin). The Q-switch is a super-fast shutter, which allows the delivery of a very short burst of laser light, in full nanoseconds. The light is shipped with a very high energy, all packed into that short burst. The effect on the tattoo ink is similar to playing an ice cube in cup of warm water - it cracks. The heat from the laser is preferentially absorbed by the tattoo pigment, but it occurs more rapidly than the thermal ink particles can expand, causing the fracture into tiny pieces. These smaller pieces become small enough to be digestible by the body's immune cells white and are taken to remote areas. As this process is repeated, the tattoo becomes lighter and lighter until it is almost invisible.
Different colors of ink respond differently to laser treatment. There are 3 Q-switched lasers commonly used in the market today: Ruby, Alexandrite and Nd: YAG. Ruby was the first q-switched laser and operates at a short wavelength of 690 nm. This makes it effective for blue and green tattoos more than others, like black or red. Alexandrite operates at 755 nm and is better for green tattoos. The YAG laser can be used in both 532 and 1064 nanometers, tattoos became effective against the black and red, more than other lasers. There certain colors that seem more resistant to laser treatment than others, with any laser. These include yellow, pink and purple.
Each laser treatment removal tattooing is fast. It may take half an hour or more to create a tattoo of 3 inches, but a single laser session may last only 30 seconds! Usually anesthetic topic is placed before the treatment or a small area can be injected with local anesthesia. After treatment, there is no blistering and occasionally bruises, but it is not necessary for the treatment works. Treatments are usually done every 4-6 weeks. The tattoo could only be practically disappears after 3 treatments, but this is rare. More commonly, tattoos take 6-12 treatments. Some paints are resistant to laser tattoo removal, due to its nature chemistry. This is the case of metal-oxide pigments of tattoos, as oxides of iron and titanium. Although they are still removable, it takes many more treatments.
These days, tattoo removal laser is effective and safer than ever with the use of Q-switched lasers. It requires time and patience for it to work.
