LUX Series tattoo removal devices work by utilising a high powered Q- Switched Nd:YAG laser known for their outstanding ability to remove a variety of tattoo inks. The light is aimed at the unwanted tattoo, and then applied to the skin in pulses. This process allows the tattoo to absorb the light, which in return shatters the pigments into tiny fragments. The fragments are then removed by the body natural filtration system. The result leads to permanent fading of the tattoo, or removal of the tattoo altogether.
