Some people have a lot of body art. Tattoos can be beautiful, colorful, and most importantly meaningful. After a while, unfortunately, a person may feel that one of their tattoos is irrelevant and has lost the charm that it exuded earlier.
If you’re feeling this way, it may be time to get rid of it with the help of a cosmetic tattoo-removal treatment. The Candela AlexLAZR laser comes in very handy when it comes to removing tattoos that no longer hold meaning or have started to feel embarrassing to you.
What Is the Candela AlexLAZR Laser?
The Candela AlexLAZR laser can be quite a revelation for people who did not know about the existence of the product. Candela is a flash-lamp-pumped Q-switched alexandrite laser designed to remove unwanted tattoos. When this technology is used, the treated tattoo fades or is erased completely.
The results are best with blue, black, and green pigments. It may be advised to ask about other pigments in your tattoo that you wish to get rid of.
The Technology
The amazing Candela AlexLAZR laser technology delivers laser energy at a wavelength of 755 mm with a pulse duration of 50 nanoseconds, an amazing feat that is both efficient and quick. The chosen wavelength offers the maximum amount of absorption for pigments and will focus specifically on the targeted tissues.
The pigments absorb the wavelength of the laser radiation of 755 mm. This breaks down the pigments, which are naturally discharged from the body over time. This process erases the tattoo, leaving your skin clear and beautiful.
And the best part is that it’s extremely safe. Because it’s so precise, the technology only has a minimal effect on the tissues surrounding the area it touches. There is minimal transfer of heat to the surrounding tissues, because the length of the pulse is smaller than the relaxation time of the heat.
The Candela AlexLAZR laser has a high voltage charger and a capacitor. The capacitor is discharged through four thyristors and through the lamp. This results in a flash that excites the alexandrite crystal, which creates the laser pulse. Auxiliary voltage is connected to the discharge lamps and causes their ionization.
Getting Good Results
This process of tattoo removal offers excellent results. Earlier, getting rid of a tattoo was a near-impossible feat that involved a lot of time and energy, along with a not-inconsequential degree of pain. A lot of people were stuck with their unwanted tattoo for a lifetime.
Laser tattoo-removal technology was a great advancement in non-invasive cosmetic treatments and has since helped many people to remove old tattoos that had lost their color and their charm.
