At my clinic, we do use the Spectra Nd:YAG laser for our tattoo removal patients. And we regard this as the best technology for helping individuals get rid of their unwanted ink. This laser uses the 1064 nm wavelength which is ideal for patients of all skin tones. For example, individuals with dark or warmer colored skin will tend to absorb more of the laser energy due to having a greater amount of melanin. And this can create complications such as overheating and unwanted discoloration.Furthermore, the Q-Switch capabilities causes the laser energy to be delivered as short, bursts. This maximizes the impact to the tattoo pigments so that they can be broken down into small enough particles for cells in your body to engulf and carry away. The really good news is that since your tattoo is black, it is the easiest of all colors to remove. Below is a link showing another patient with a black tattoo. She was able to experience an excellent clearance after only three sessions.
The Q switch Yag and Alexandrite lasers are excellent for the treatment of unwanted tattoos. Our office uses the Trivantage laser which achieves excellent results for tattoo removal. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian
