Q switch technology or a nanosecond pulse duration
G has really been the gold standard for the last twenty years
for tattoo removal and benign pigmented lesion removal
what we can tell you unequivocally is with Q switch technology
is it does an incredible job at removing those tattoos and benign pigmented
lesions
the thing that we found that that is probably the most important thing
when treating different tattoos is having multiple wavelengths
to get the most colors of a tattoo and
and as tattoos have evolved over the last year fifteen years
are it's not just simply a you know a black tribal band on somebody's arm
any more
that you know 1064 laser may have been great force
for that but if you see the the the folks you know today that have a sleeve
that has
orange and blue and yellow and green, I mean really the entire spectrum
having more wavelengths is important
you know our flagship product
actually has three wavelengths in it it has a 1064 Q switch
a 532 Q switch and a 694
Q switch laser all actual lasers. There's no converted dye
handpieces or anything like that. And the thing that that's so important with
having three wavelengths like that
that 1064 wavelength is really going to be your
workhorse laser if you will
even if you are you treating a a red rose, that red rose
is gonna have dark ink in it 's gonna have black in there to make that read darker
and the stem is going to have black in it to make that green
stem darker and so that 1064 is really going to be your workhorse
realistically probably used at sixty to seventy percent of all treatments.
But once you have pulled out those darker colors
that's where having the the additional wavelengths is key.
A 532 Wavelength is really going to be the
wavelength that you go to when you see red
and orange and yellow spectrum and again the thing that really has
helped us rise to the prominence that we have is that 694 wavelength we're
using a 694 Ruby
and that goes after the green and blue ink which is historically been the
Achilles heel of the tattoo removal industry
and the fact that we have all three of those wavelengths in one device
that's really why we're at the place we are today in this industry.
Alright so now you're gonna put the cold
air cooling on there. You're in charge of that. One of the things that we find
is that when the patient's in charge of running of the cold air there, number one
they know exactly
where they need the cold air and number two, it's also very distracting they're
not thinking so much about
the laser but they're actually involved in the process so we find that that
in getting them involved by handing them the end of the Zimmer Hose, it
really helps mitigate -you know pain- and psychological concern about things.
So alright so we have the setup we're using the 1064 we're gonna do a
test spot
we're gonna try right here perpendicular to skin
Three, two, one. How was that? Okay?
So one things that's really interesting here is you'll see that we did
were using the 1064 Wavelength
that 1064 on the outline where we'd expect
was incredibly well absorbed you know the black outline of the palm tree
the inner part of the tree
which is filled with green, which would really be best
absorbed by a 694 ruby wavelength you can tell that it
you know, it's almost untouched ink and so that's the thing that's
you know why it's so important to have multiple wavelengths
when you're doing tattoo removal because you really need those multiple
wavelengths to get
all the colors of the ink. Okay, now what we did get is you know we're gonna try
and we're gonna go over the whole thing because
we got the type of reaction we're looking for. We got a nice frosting
not too much you know just a little bit of raised
tissue but that's really the sort of treatment that we're looking for.
So what we're gonna do now is you know now we've done one test spot
patient survived, we're gonna go back and we got the sort of treatment
result they were looking for
I'm gonna go back to 10 hertz or 10 pulses per second
and we're gonna try to go through this entire tattoo you know probably in less than
a minute
Now what we're gonna see is there are going to be areas that
just like this, you know frost up and get the perfect reaction
and then there's going to be areas in between like the red ink in
between yellow ink over here and some of the green ink in the palm tree
that that we probably don't see quite the reaction, but again this is her first
treatment
and really what we're looking for is to peel back the layers of the onion
get that black ink out get down to the purest inks of green
red, yellow and then next time we'll probably look at using different
wavelengths
I'm gonna try to not have as much overlap so I'm gonna move fast.
You know so we don't have to do too many treatments. Are you ready Jesse? Yup.
Three, two, one.
How we doing? Good.
Painful? Yup.
How was that? It hurt but I'm good.
But, I mean all the whole treatment was less
less than a minute and you can see you know I mean really really where
we got a good result where we get great
you can hear the snap had frosted up but not too much
and even though we went over this green ink in between, we didn't get
much of a reaction. Now what I could do
is I could go back to our 694
Wavelength the Ruby Wavelength and specifically
get some of those green spots. Again because we didn't
over treat at this point in time, I'm probably comfortable doing that. Are you alright to take
a few more spots? Yup. Okay?
We're gonna go back in just hit some of these green areas here with the 694
Three, two, one.
Some down here on her ankle will take a little bit longer normally what we see
is about the first four weeks we don't see a whole lot of
change. And then in that four to six weeks segment that's when we really start to
see
some of those colors wash out of the body's system.
You know it just takes that out so you know it's
One of those things to talk with your patient make sure that they know what to expect.
Cuz next couple days they may think that nothing happened.
But again, four to six weeks is when you really start to see
some changes. Now from a from a post
care standpoint, we'll put some Polysporin on this.
We don't want you to be in a hot tub
tonight. We don't want you to be in the Sun for the next few days.
You know, one of the benefits of our technology is we have this
you know lenses and the optics in our optobeam technology
that really allows to give a good treatment without breaking the skin.
But nonetheless you know you have put laser energy into this, want to treat it
you know carefully when you do, you know shower, or whatever just had a dry don't
rub it.
You will notice that it probably
will itch. It's gonna feel maybe like a little bit like a sunburn for the next day or
two
maybe for the next week or so it will itch.
Don't scratch it. And then you know, oftentimes people just to remind
themselves,
you know if it's itchy, you again putting Polysporin on and just put a bandaid
over it. And that keep people
scratching. Alright.
