Green and Yellow Tattoo Removal

Jim Trenholm • June 14, 2018

Multi-coloured tattoos that include yellow and green ink have previously been next to impossible to remove completely (and safely)—that is, until now. At Unthink Inc. we successfully remove your unwanted yellow and green ink (or any other ink colours) with the advanced PicoWay tattoo removal laser.

Multi-coloured tattoos have been seemingly permanent with previous laser. Traditional tattoo removal technology could not distinct lighter colour tattoo ink from the pigment in one’s skin making the process painful and quite dangerous.

Even black or dark blue inks were dangerous for clients with darker skin tones for the same reasons. Thankfully, technology has since caught up with the demand of multi-coloured tattoo removal and are now able to be completely and safely removed.

Syneron Candela’s revolutionary PicoWay laser offers complete clearance of a full spectrum of ink colours on all skin types. Due to PicoWay’s unique three wavelength system even the most difficult colours such as yellow and green can be differentiated from the skin’s pigment.

The laser’s wavelengths determine which ink colour is targeted and treated during a tattoo removal session. All ink colours have a certain light absorption spectrum. In order for the treatment of each colour to work, the proper wavelength must be used for every colour family. The more wavelengths a laser offers, the more ink colours it can remove.

Unlike traditional Q-switched lasers that usually offer a maximum of two wavelengths, PicoWay offers three: 1064nm for black and dark blue inks; 532nm for reds, violets, oranges and yellows; and 785nm, a wavelength exclusive only to PicoWay that can remove all shades of blue and green.   

PicoWay also offers an ultra-fast pulsation speed that delivers energy pulses into the skin in a rate so fast it is measured in picoseconds (one trillionth of a second). Compared to the nanosecond (one billionth of a second) technology of Q-switched lasers, PicoWay’s speed is about 1000 times faster. Not only does this mean unwanted ink can be removed in less time, it also minimizes discomfort and greatly reduces the risk of injury on all skin types.  

Combining a three-wavelength system with such a quick pulsation rate is a breakthrough for the world of tattoo removal. Notoriously difficult to remove ink colours like greens and yellows can now be safely and quickly removed without the fear of intense pain or adverse skin reactions.
