The Venus Eraser Q-switched Nd:YAG laser is effective for removing both amateur and professional tattoos. It can remove many colours of ink. This done by “Q-switching”. Our Q-switched laser machines emit pulses that last only a tiny fraction of a second, powerful enough to heat the tattoo dye and shatter it but not long enough to damage the skin.
Our machines can operate on two wavelengths – 1064nm and 532nm. The 1064nm wavelength is effective at removing many black, purple, and brown tattoos. At the halved frequency setting of 532 nm, this laser is highly effective for treating red, orange and some yellow tattoos.
The Venus Eraser also has the advantage of being particularly effective for darker skinned people.
Although a laser can produce the right wavelengths of light, without sufficient power and time, the desired effect will not be achieved. Tattoo dyes can be difficult to break down, and only recently have lasers been able to produce sufficient energy to achieve the expected results.
