Professional Tattoo Removal Laser machine
Laser tattoo removal technology uses specific wavelengths of laser light to selectively break up the tattoo color pigments into small enough particles that are then metabolized by the body and eliminated from the body. This principle is called “selective photothermal destruction”. Different colors of pigments require different wavelengths of laser beams, so professional tattoo removal lasers usually integrate a variety of lasers to deal with various colors of tattoos.
There are two main types of lasers used for tattoo removal:
- Q-Switched Nd: YAG Lasers
- Picosecond Lasers

Gain Medium
The gain medium is the aspect of a laser device that will determine the wavelength of laser light emitted. Gain mediums may be solid, liquid, or gas. Lasers used in tattoo removal are solid-state gain mediums. The most common wavelength used for tattoo removal is 1064 nm which is produced by the Nd: YAG crystal (Neodymium-doped Yttrium Aluminum Garnet). Other common gain mediums for tattoo removal are Alexandrite (755 nm) and Ruby (694 nm). To create 532 nm laser energy, 1064 nm laser emission is passed through a KTP crystal (Potassium Titanyl Phosphate), which serves as a second harmonic generator, cutting the wavelength in half.
Q-Switched Nd: YAG Lasers
What is a Q-Switched Nd: YAG Lasers？
Q-switched laser systems are to produce high-energy, extremely short nanosecond or picosecond pulses by modulating the cavity loss and Q-factor of the resonator cavity. These brief but powerful pulses can selectively disrupt and remove pigment particles in the skin while minimizing thermal damage to surrounding tissues.
Commonly used for tattoo removal are Nd: YAG solid-state lasers, which can emit two wavelengths: 1064nm and 532nm. The 1064nm ruby wavelength is most effective for removing deeper colors like blue, black, and green tattoo inks;
While 532nm is better for removing lighter colors like orange, red, and yellow. By integrating these two complementary wavelengths, the Wave Laser skin system can achieve efficient removal of multi-colored tattoos.
In addition to tattoos, Q-switched lasers are also widely used to treat various pigmentary disorders such as age spots, sun spots, and melasma. The principle is to utilize the selective absorption of 1064nm or 532nm wavelengths by melanin to photo-thermally disrupt pigment particles and remove blemishes. This non-ablative process does not strip away the skin surface, thus increasing safety and minimizing the risk of scarring.
Over multiple treatment sessions, the body’s natural processes gradually flush out these shattered nano-pigments, causing the tattoo to fade away. The laser tattoo removal process is a non-surgical and non-invasive treatment and can be performed with virtually no downtime.
Based on the pulse generation mechanism, Q-switched laser systems can be divided into two types: actively Q-switched (AQSW) and passively Q-switched (PQSW):
AQSW (actively Q-switched) devices release energy in a single, very powerful pulse utilizing a Pockels cell, while PQSW (passively Q-switched) devices use a saturable absorber, which functions similarly but releases energy in a series of pulses. This means that AQSW devices can provide higher peak powers, making them more effective in the later stages of treatment compared to passively Q-switched devices.
These lasers are relatively easy to distinguish. AQSW devices are typically large and are likely to have an articulated arm originating from the top of the system. Professional AQSW systems are usually composed of 7 optical components as well as some form of handpiece, allowing for a full range of motion to treat any part of the body. AQSW systems are not conveniently portable, as they are sensitive to shock and vibration.
PQSW devices are generally smaller and more portable. They come in the form of desktop units or cart systems but always have a handpiece connected by an umbilical cord rather than an articulated arm. This umbilical cord contains voltage lines for the flashlamp as well as tubing for cooling fluid (most commonly deionized water). PQSW systems are less affected by shock and vibration, but due to the energy being released in a pulse train, they are less efficient than AQSW systems for tattoo removal.
In addition to traditional nanosecond AQSW lasers, picosecond AQSW lasers with ultrashort pulses in the 500-800 picosecond range have also been introduced. The shorter pulse duration can further enhance optical breakdown and reduce thermal injury, but clinical studies have yet to find significant advantages over nanosecond AQSW.
Picosecond lasers and nanosecond AQSW
What is a picosecond Lasers？
Nanosecond AQSW lasers have pulse durations in the range of 6-40 nanoseconds (ns).
Picosecond lasers have much shorter pulse durations, typically in the range of 500-800 picoseconds (ps), which is 6-10 times faster than nanosecond pulses at the same energy level (around 0.9-1.0 Joules).
Both picosecond and nanosecond AQSW lasers use the same principle of Q-switching to produce high-energy, short pulses. The difference lies in the timescales involved.
Advantages of Picosecond Lasers:
- Shorter Pulse Duration: The ultrashort picosecond pulses allow for more confined photoacoustic and photomechanical effects, potentially reducing collateral thermal damage to surrounding tissues.
- Higher Peak Power: At the same energy level, the shorter pulse duration translates to higher peak power, which can enhance optical breakdown and ablation efficiency.
- Fewer Treatment Sessions: The increased efficacy of picosecond pulses is claimed to reduce the number of treatment sessions required for tattoo removal compared to nanosecond lasers.
- Picosecond laser systems are generally more expensive than nanosecond AQSW lasers.
Both picosecond and nanosecond AQSW lasers are actively Q-switched systems, utilizing similar components like a Pockels cell and polarizers to achieve Q-switching. However, the picosecond systems are designed to produce pulses in the picosecond range, which allows for higher peak powers and potentially enhanced tissue effects.
While picosecond lasers hold promise for improved efficacy and reduced side effects, particularly in the later stages of tattoo removal, nanosecond AQSW lasers remain a well-established and widely used technology in dermatology and aesthetic treatments due to their proven clinical performance and relatively lower cost.
Applications of the laser tattoo removal machines?
Painless Tattoo Removal
Utilizing MicoAes’ tattoo removal treatment series, unwanted dark, and colored tattoos can be safely and effectively eliminated. By combining laser wavelengths targeted at different ink colors, high-intensity light beams can break down the ink particles within the tattoo, revealing clear, unblemished skin while minimizing the risk of scarring or pigmentary changes.
Successful multi-color tattoo removal requires high-powered lasers capable of providing sufficient energy across various color absorption spectra. The high-powered Q-switched Nd: YAG 1064nm laser is ideal for treating deeper ink colors (blue, black, and green), while the 532nm wavelength is suitable for addressing lighter ink colors (orange, red, and yellow). This treatment method mechanically breaks down the ink particles without causing thermal damage, leading to tattoo fading while minimizing the risk of scarring or pigmentary alteration. Therefore, Q-switched lasers are considered the best option for tattoo removal.
Benign Pigmentary Disorders
Hormonal changes and the life cycle can affect the distribution of melanin (skin color) in our skin, leading to the appearance of age spots, sun spots, or melasma (a deep, patchy facial discoloration condition).
MicoAes’ laser and light therapies target melanin in the deeper skin layers to eliminate spots and pigmentary deposits, clearing pigmentary accumulations from all layers to reveal an even, flawless complexion.
This treatment is designed with patient comfort in mind and is safe and effective for all skin types, including darker skin tones.
Q-switched Nd: YAG laser systems, utilizing nanosecond laser pulses (the gold standard for treating pigmentary disorders), are the optimal choice for addressing naturally occurring excessive pigmentation, including:
- Pigmentary incontinence
- Solar lentigines (age spots)
