Using the Allwhite3000 Nd Yag laser can safely and effectively remove tattoos, permanent make up, and skin pigmentation such as Nevus of Ota, age spots, sunspots and birthmarks. Tattoo ink particles are too large for the      body’s immune system to remove                                      naturally because when tattoo                                            pigment is injected into the lower                                        layers of the skin (dermis) it                                              becomes locked away by a wall of                                      collagen fibres. Q-switched lasers                                      produce very short bursts of high                                      energy laser light. The light is                                            absorbed by the large ink particles,                                    generating heat that shatters the                                      tattoo pigment into minute particles which the body is able to remove. Because the tattoo ink selectively absorbs the laser energy, the surrounding skin doesn’t overheat and there is no lasting damage.
