Tattoo Removal Laser Buying Guide 

Q-Switching

Tattoo removal treatments involve the use of advanced technology called “Q-switching”. This technique produces quick and powerful pulses of energy that break down tattoo ink without damaging the surrounding skin tissue. Only Q-switched lasers are proven to safely remove tattoos. Our state-of-the-art tattoo removal devices not only effectively remove tattoos, but are safe on all skin types (Fitzpatrick scale I-VI).

The Astanza Duality Signature is an example of an actively Q-switched laser, with a high peak power and two wavelengths (532 nm and 1064 nm) that effectively removes the most common tattoo ink colors (black, brown, red, orange, and yellow).

Peak Power

Some systems may provide adequate fading results for the first few treatments, but do not have sufficient power to break up the ink of stubborn tattoos deep within the skin’s dermis. To avoid this problem, it’s important to consider peak power as you make your laser purchasing decision. Peak power is a result of pulse width and energy – the smaller the pulse width and the greater the energy production, the higher the peak power. Higher peak power levels allow practitioners to treat tattoos at greater fluences without compromising on laser treatment spot size. In all, peak power allows you to get better removal results for increased patient satisfaction. The Astanza Trinity, Duality Signature and the EternityTSR feature high levels of energy production and exceptionally short pulse widths for best-in-class peak power production.

Wavelengths

Different colors of tattoo ink absorb different wavelengths of energy – meaning that tattoo removal practitioners switch between different wavelengths of laser energy when treating tattoos. Understanding the capabilities of different wavelengths will greatly guide your choice of laser. There are two common types of Q-switched lasers in the tattoo removal industry: Nd:YAG and Ruby. The go-to laser for most tattoo removal practitioners is an Nd:YAG laser, such as the Astanza Duality Signature, because it is capable of producing the most versatile wavelengths: 1064 nm and 532 nm.

The 1064 nm wavelength is a powerhouse for treating black, blue, and other dark ink colors; the 532 nm wavelength is highly effective for removing red, orange, pink, and other bright colors. These two powerful wavelengths can completely remove 95% of tattoos. Elite practitioners who are worried about the remaining 5% of tattoos often invest in an additional Ruby laser (694 nm), such as the Astanza EternityTSR to compliment their purchase of an Nd:YAG laser. Both Ruby and Alexandrite wavelengths function very similarly and are excellently absorbed by difficult-to-treat ink colors such as lime green, teal, and turquoise. The Astanza Trinity, a three wavelength, all in one system, which combines the versatility of an Nd:YAG laser with the unique capabilities of a Ruby laser – is a powerful option for clinics looking to have the best of both types of lasers. The important difference between the Trinity and other multi-wavelength tattoo removal systems is that it has exceptionally powerful pulses for each wavelength. Be wary of “handpiece filter” or “dye handpiece” systems that tout additional wavelengths but fail to deliver on power.

FDA Clearance

The United States government considers laser tattoo removal to be a medical procedure. Therefore, tattoo removal laser equipment is classified as medical devices and regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

“FDA clearance means this method for removing tattoos complies with agency requirements for safety and effectiveness”, states an FDA representative in their article about tattoo removal.

If you have searched for lasers online, you probably have probably seen the machines sold on eBay and other online trading sites. These lasers usually boast very attractive pricing, but don’t be misled ­– it is illegal to perform tattoo removal in the United States with devices that do not have FDA clearance. These lasers are often are built with low-quality materials, produce inconsistent amounts of energy, and endanger patient skin.

Penalties for practicing with a non-FDA cleared medical device in the United States can range from fines to imprisonment. In addition, any patient treated with a non-cleared laser has grounds to take legal action.

For all of these reasons, if you are practicing in the United States, please only consider legal, FDA-cleared laser devices from reputable laser companies such as Astanza. ALL Astanza laser systems sold in the US have FDA clearance. Learn more about Astanza’s full line of FDA-cleared tattoo removal laser products.

Laser Maintenance

Advanced actively Q-Switched tattoo removal lasers require regular maintenance to perform at their best. These advanced laser systems have delicate technical and optical components that need periodic cleaning, calibration, and alignment. Without preventative maintenance and service by trained professionals, tattoo removal equipment will have a reduction in power and efficacy over time.

Because you probably plan to be performing tattoo removal for many years to come, it is important to choose a laser supplier that will provide ongoing service beyond the warranty expiration. After all, your tattoo removal laser is the cornerstone of your practice.

Some laser manufacturers do not offer a la carte services, which means that if you aren’t under an extended warranty contract, they will not service your laser if it fails. Similarly, used laser dealers typically do not provide any maintenance or service support, and the original manufacturers of the used system may not agree to provide service.

Unlike other manufacturers that either gouge customers with outrageous contract costs or neglect to provide responsive, quality technical support, Astanza stands by our systems with ongoing service support by in-house expert technicians.

Astanza clients are covered by our 3-Business Day Service Guarantee, which promises to resolve any laser issues and have the laser working in 3 business days after a client calls, emails, or leaves a voicemail stating an issue or requesting a service request. To learn more, click here.

Training and Support

There are many things things that every laser purchaser should consider when buying a laser and two of the most important are: the quality of the laser system and the reputation of the laser manufacturer. When you buy a tattoo removal laser, you are also establishing an ongoing relationship with the laser supplier; you want to make sure that they provide the resources for your clinical operation to thrive.

In-depth training is essential for any tattoo removal practitioner to feel confident as they start treating patients. From assessing tattoos to discussing aftercare, there are a lot of details that have to be learned to provide top-notch service to your patients.

Astanza gives comprehensive practitioner education to all customers. During training, clients learn extensive details about the science and practice of laser tattoo removal, giving them a foundation of knowledge as they start performing this profitable procedure. Astanza clients will have access to Free Training and Clinical Support for as long as they own an Astanza laser. Free Training and Clinical Support includes access to a free clinical resource library, video consultations with Astanza biomedical engineers and access to complimentary training at New Look Laser College (Dallas location), and pre-scheduled training at Astanza headquarters.

Also, effective marketing efforts are essential to the success of any tattoo removal operation. Even if a clinic has the best laser technology available, it will not achieve profitability unless marketing is used to bring patients in the door. Astanza’s Business Builder System provides expert marketing services and guidance to those adding aesthetic treatments to their existing practice or starting a laser business. Our marketing services are the most comprehensive in the industry – ranging from website content writing to helping clients secure 60 leads in 60 days – and are completely customized to practitioner needs.

Astanza provides more than world-class laser technology ­– we are beside you step by step to help you succeed with your laser tattoo removal business.
