Traditional tattooing was very common in India and the rest of the world. It was a symbol of identity, religion, power, devotion, and lineage. Green and black were common colors in the past; however, they have been replaced by colorful tattoos in the present day. Tattooing is now a profession and a fully developed industry with modern colors and equipment. The ink used in tattoos is injected into the dermis of the skin, where it remains for months to years.

Tattoo removal can be performed by surgical excision, dermabrasion, and various long-pulse lasers. These non-laser treatments often leave behind significant scarring and sometimes pose a risk for keloid formation. Non-selective lasers such as carbon dioxide and non-selective erbium also pose a risk of scarring. Selective lasers like neodymium, alexandrite, diode, ruby, metal vapor, and argon can also leave behind scarring to a limited extent. This is because the thermal relaxation time of dye particles is significantly shorter than the duration of laser pulses used in these devices. Therefore, the surrounding healthy tissue gets overheated up to coagulation, leading to scarring.

The classical Q-switched laser is very effective for superficial tattoos, giving good results without scarring. However, when tattoo ink is located deep in the dermis, laser pulses do not reach the ink at deeper levels. Increasing the energy destroys the ink but also causes destruction of tissue along the laser path, resulting in scarring.

Individuals seeking to remove unwanted tattoos—whether amateur or professional and regardless of the colors used—are ideal candidates for tattoo removal. Those concerned about scarring and looking for a safe, effective method with minimal downtime will particularly benefit from advanced laser treatments.

The selective method of photodestruction of tattoo ink by the Q-Switched ND YAP laser, developed as a patented technology by Linline Medical Systems, provides ultra-selective tattoo ink removal without causing overheating of the surrounding skin. This approach practically eliminates the problem of scarring. A train of Q-switched pulses with low energy efficiently achieves complete clearance of tattoo ink while keeping the skin intact.

Unique Key Features:

• No Pretreatment Cream: The procedure does not require any creams before the session.
• Minimal to No Pain: The treatment is generally painless.
• No Scarring or Wound Creation: Targets tattoo ink without damaging surrounding tissue.
• Effective on All Tattoo Types: Works on both amateur and professional tattoos with all colors.

At Elrevo Clinic, we incorporated the Linline Medical System laser device with the Q-Switched ND YAP laser into our practice in 2017. We have successfully treated thousands of patients with tattoos, achieving high patient satisfaction.

Session Duration:
