For laser tattoo removal the dissolution of tattoo pigments depends on four factors

• The color of the laser light must penetrate deep into the skin to reach the pigment of the tattoo.
• The color of the laser light must be highly absorbed by the tattoo pigment rather than the surrounding skin. Different tattoo pigments require different laser colors. For example, red laser light is highly absorbed by green tattoo pigments, while on the other hand, yellow tattoo pigments tend not to absorb light.
• The time span (pulse duration) of the laser force must be very short. For laser tattoo removal this duration should be in nanoseconds.
• Sufficient energy must be delivered. If the energy is too low, the pigment will not fragment and no removal will take place.
