Tattoo ink or pigment absorbs the light without destroying the normal surrounding skin tissue. The tattoo ink or pigment break down into small particles and then removed by the body’s own immune system. After a series of treatment sessions, the tattoo particles are broken up enough to no longer be visible.

It works on the theory of ‘selective photothermolysis’, which states that when the appropriate wavelength of light and pulse width is equal to or shorter than the target’s thermal relaxation time, the heat generated will be confined to the target. While most of these lasers operate on nanosecond, the newer pico second pulse duration lasers remove tattoos by a photomechanical effect as well, that is by physically fracturing the tattoo particles
