Additional wavelengths that some practitioners use are 755 nm and 694 nm – these wavelengths function very similarly and are useful for treating rare ink colors, such as bright blue or green.
Why is tattoo removal so slow?
What we do with the laser, while important, is not what makes your ink fade and disappear. Your immune system goes after the fragmented ink particles and removes them through your lymphatic channels and liver. Without a strong healthy immune system, results can take much longer.
Do at home tattoo removal lasers work?
And with good reason—operating them requires expert training. Home lasers can’t reach as deeply into the skin to break up the ink. However, if you’re using a laser over and over for tattoo removal at home, it will definitely wear your skin out, which can lead to permanent deterioration!
What are the hardest colors to remove in a tattoo?
No single laser can remove all tattoo colors. Different dyes respond to different light wavelengths. Black and dark green are the easiest colors to remove; yellow, purple, turquoise and fluorescent dyes are hardest to fade.
