The following is a brief list of the lasers available and what each can do for tattoos:
VersaPulse removes tattoos, vascular and pigmented lesions and veins.
Q-switched Nd:YAG removes tattoos, vascular and pigmented lesions, as well as veins.
Con-Bio Q-switched Nd:YAG removes pigmented lesions and tattoos.
Alexandrite removes tattoos, vascular lesions, veins and brown spots.
All of these lasers are available at The Manchester Clinic.
As you can see, there are many lasers and many ways to treat the same condition. The main difference is in how patients will react to each machine and the length of their convalescent phase. The physician must take into consideration the type of tattoos, their location, and the patient's skin type-color, thickness and texture. It is a very individualized process and one that must be customized for each patient.
