Q-Switched Laser targets the pigment of the tattoo by depositing high levels of energy in a very short space of time. This intense energy shatters the pigment of the tattoo ink into tiny particles in the skin which are then carried away through the bodies normal body processors. Different wavelengths are used depending on ink colour.

A palm-sized tattoo typically costs R900 per session and takes approx. 15 minutes. Between 6 to 15 sessions over 2 years may be required. Complete removal may not be possible as some tattoo inks are more stubborn to remove than others.
