The Palomar Q-YAG 5 system is a high powered laser that removes
unwanted tattoos and pigmented lesions (sunspots, freckles, etc.)
It emits a highly focused beam of laser light, which passes harmlessly
through the outer layer of the skin and is absorbed primarily by
the tattoo ink or the excess pigment within the lesion.
As the light is absorbed, it is quickly converted to heat. The
sudden rise in temperature within the treatment target fractures
the ink or pigment into tiny particles. Tattoo ink fragments are
carried away by the lymphatic system, while pigmented lesions are
naturally shed from the skin one to two weeks after treatment.
