Currently, studies indicate tattoos contain some surprising ingredients, including heavy metals and plastics. Unless they are treated these substances will stay in your skin for the lifetime of the tattoo.
The medical boffins worldwide are unable to tell us whether or not tattoo inks can cause cancer or other major deleterious health concerns over the lifetime of a tattoo, al
though allergic reactions have been known to occur. If the allergy continues and is severe enough, the tattooed individual is best off removing the tattoo which is causing the reaction. The best and safest options for removal, in this case, are surgical excision or shaving the skin off until there are no further ink particles to cause the reaction. Unfortunately, both of these techniques are liable to leave significant scars. Laser tattoo removal is really not an option in this case because it could be that the introduction of laser light on the affected area could cause the allergic reaction (via a new compound which can be created through the interaction of the ink and laser light) or could exacerbate it.
In most other cases, laser tattoo removal with a top of the line Q-Switched Nd:Yag like the QX MAX which we use at City Tattoo Removal, is the gold standard in tattoo removal practice today.
Lasers work via thermophotolysis. The Oxford online dictionary defines Thermo as "relating to heat" and photolysis as "the decomposition or separation of molecules by the action of light." So, by definition the lasers work by heating up molecules by light, causing them to separate and decompose.
Most modern Q-Switched Nd:Yag lasers, even top-of-the-line lasers, only treat with the 1064nm and 532nm wavelengths. With our QX MAX we are able to also treat at 585nm and 650nm wavelengths, which means we can also treat hard to move greens and blues, as well as black, red, yellow, orange, tan, brown, navy blues, magenta, purple and pink.
