3. Treatment Technique pentru Diode Laser Operating
(For 810nm / 755+808+1064nm Diode Laser Treatments)
1. Pre-Treatment Preparation
Shave the treatment area completely before the session
Clean and dry the skin; remove lotions, oils, sunscreen
Ensure both client and operator wear proper laser goggles
- Apply a thin, even layer of conducting gel over the entire treatment area before starting the diode laser procedure.
How to apply correctly:
Utilizare just enough gel to create a uniform layer (not too thick)
Cover all areas where the laser head will pass
Reapply gel when needed during long sessions
2. Skin Cooling Before Treatment
To enhance comfort and prevent overheating:Use the diode handle’s metal cooling plate
Gently place the metal cooling area of the diode handpiece on the skin
Cool the treatment area for 1–2 minutes
Ensure the skin temperature drops to a comfortable cool-but-not-numb state
Beneficii:
✔ Reduces pain
✔ Lowers epidermal temperature
✔ Prevents burns
✔ Allows the operator to use higher energy safely
3. Energy Setting Technique
⚡ Recommended energy setting method (universal for all skin types):
Set power/energy to 80–100% of current intensity
Pulse width starting from 20ms
Increase pulse width gradually (step by step)
Let the client feel a mild stinging or tingling sensation,
but NOT pain
Once you reach this mild tingling level → This is the correct energy
Key Principle:
✔ Stingling = correct
✔ Pain = too high
✔ No feeling at all = energy too low (ineffective)
4. During Treatment
Maintain full contact between handle and skin
Use sliding “In-Motion” technique
Cover each area 6–8 passes
Watch for endpoint reaction:
✔ mild redness
✔ slight warmth
✔mild tingling
5. Important Tips
Never treat over unshaved hair (burn risk)
Do not lift and “stamp” the handle (causes hot spots)
Always keep the cooling plate touching the skin
Re-cool the area if skin gets warm during long sessions
For sensitive zones (armpit, bikini), increase energy more slowly.
6. Diode Post-Treatment Care
– Apply aloe vera gel or soothing mask.
– No hot shower/steam/sauna for 24–48 hours.
– No sun exposure for 7 days.
– Apply SPF 50 daily.
– No waxing/plucking between sessions.

Pico Laser Treatment Steps
1. Pre-Treatment Preparation
– Clean skin thoroughly.
– Identify type of pigment or tattoo.
– Explain possible whitening frosting reaction.
– Eye protection for all treatments.
Key Considerations:
Ensure eye protection is used for all treatments involving the eye area (eyebrows, eyeliner, lips).
Choose the correct wavelength (532nm or 1064nm) based on the pigment color.
Allow adequate healing time between treatments (typically 30-45 days) to achieve optimal results and avoid skin damage.
Professional Operation of Laser Tattoo Removal
Client Consultation:
A comprehensive consultation is required before any treatment. This is designed to assess whether the client is a suitable candidate for laser therapyand to ensure their comfort and understanding of the process.
The consultation includes:
Private setting to discuss treatment details.
Evaluation of the client’s skin type, medical history, and tattoo characteristics.
Explaining the Q-Switched Nd:YAG Treatment:
Mecanism: The Q-Switched Nd:YAG laser delivers high-energy light pulses at specific wavelengths (532nm and 1064nm) in nanoseconds, targeting pigment particles in tattoos. The light is absorbed by the tattoo pigment, shattering it into tiny fragments that the body recognizes as foreign, and over time, the immune system removes these particles.
Eficacitate: This treatment selectively targets pigment particles, leaving surrounding skin tissues unharmed. It can remove professional, amateur, and traumatic tattoos. Multiple sessions are usually required.
Factors Affectin Treatment Success: Several factors can influence the success of laser tattoo removal and complete removal may not always be achievable:
Tattoo Tip: Amateur tattoos are easier to remove than professional ones, as they are typically less deep and consist of fewer colors.
Ink Tip: Plant-based pigments are the easiest to remove, while chemical pigments (especially those containing iron or lead) are harder to treat.
Ink Adâncime: Deeper pigments are more difficult to treat and may require more sessions.
Tattoo Colors: Black and blue are easier to remove. Green and yellow are the most difficult due to inadequate absorption by the laser’s wavelengths.
Tattoo Age: Older tattoos generally require fewer treatments for removal than newer ones.·
Client’s Healing Ability: Factors like age, skin type, and immune function play a role in healing and response to treatment.
Side Effects: Common side effects after laser tattoo removal may include:
· Swelling, Bruising, Pinprick Bleeding
· Sunburn-like sensations
· Blisters, Scabs, and Crusts
· Temporary pigmentation changes (rarely permanent)
· Dry, Itchy Skin şi Temporary Hair Loss
· Infecţie (in rare cases)
· Healing Time: Typically 4-6 weeks, but may take up to 3 months in extreme cases.
Treatment Aftercare:
Post-treatment care is essential for optimal healing:
· Cold Compresses: Apply to reduce swelling, avoiding ice.
· Ameliorarea durerii: Over-the-counter medication or hydrocortisone cream for itching and inflammation.
· Skin Care: Use gentle cleansers, avoid hot water, and moisturize the treated area.
· Protecția solară: Avoid sun exposure during the entire treatment course. Apply SPF 30 or higher.
· Avoid: Hot tubs, saunas, vigorous exercise, and sweating for 24-48 hours.
· Avoid Harsh Skincare Products: Such as Retin-A, glycolic acid, and exfoliants for a week.
· Smoking and Alcohol: Avoid smoking for several weeks as it slows healing. Refrain from alcohol for 3-7 days.
· Vindecare: Let scabs fall off naturally and avoid picking.
Medical History and Client Consent:·
Medical History: All clients must complete a medical history profile, which is reviewed during the consultation.
Contraindicații: Treatment is not recommended for clients with the
following conditions unless approved by a doctor:
- Lupus, Autoimmune Conditions
- Pregnancy or Breastfeeding
- Skin conditions like Psoriasis or Keloids
- Hypo-Pigmentation, Herpes Simplex, Epilepsy
- Cancer, HIV/AIDS, or Diabetes
- Recent Tanning (natural, artificial, or spray tan)
- Pacemakers, Metal Implants
Photosensitivity Considerations:
Certain medications or herbal remedies can increase photosensitivity, making the skin more sensitive to light. Clients must disclose all medications and supplements, as they could lead to severe reactions like sunburn, swelling, stinging, or burning.
Skin Typing:
Skin typing is crucial for customizing the treatment to the client’s skin. The Fitzpatrick scale categorizes skin from type I (very fair) to type VI (very dark). Treatment settings will be based on:
· Genetic Disposition
· Reaction to Sun Exposure
Recent tanning can affect the skin type and may result in needing to treat the skin as a darker type.
Patch Test:
· Scop: To determine the highest energy level the client’s skin can safely tolerate without adverse reactions.
· Procedure:
1. Cleanse the area and perform a patch test on 3 spots with increasing energy levels.
2. After 5-10 minutes, observe and record the skin’s reaction.
3. If the patient has skin types V or VI, the test should be done 2 weeks before treatment to monitor for delayed side effects.
4. Proceed with treatment at the highest energy level that didn’t cause adverse reactions.
By ensuring these protocols are followed, you maximize the safety, comfort, and efficacy of laser tattoo removal for your clients.
Tattoo Removal Treatment Guidelines
Treatment Intervals:
It is recommended to wait 6 weeks between treatments to allow adequate healing and the body’s natural removal process of the pigment. This interval helps optimize results and minimize the risk of complications.
Shaving for Treatment:
Shave the eyebrow before the procedure to ensure better visibility and effectiveness of the treatment. This allows the practitioner to assess the ink and determine how the pigment is reacting during the removal process.
Documenting Results:
Take before and after photos of each treatment session. This helps in tracking progress, providing clear visual evidence of the treatment’s effectiveness, and building client confidence by showing the contrast in pigment reduction.
Handling Large Tattoos or Nevi:
For large tattoos and nevus, it is advisable to treat them gradually, in smaller sections. This approach reduces discomfort and prevents over-treatment.Spacing out the sessions also allows clients to see the contrast between sessions, improving their confidence in the results.
Deep Tissue Treatment and Sound of Pigment Breaking:
When treating deep tattoo pigments, particularly with 1064nm wavelength, you may hear a sound as the pigment breaks down due to the laser’s strong energy absorption. This is a normal occurrence as the laser energy shatters the pigment, which is then gradually eliminated by the body.
Energy Settings Over Sensitive Areas:
Use lower energy settings when treating over bony areas or thin-skinned areas.
These areas are more sensitive, and reducing the energy minimizes discomfort and the risk of damage to the surrounding tissue.
Initial Treatment Results:
Tattoo removal is most noticeable during the initial treatments, especially as the pigment in the tattoo starts to break down. In the first few sessions, the contrast between the tattoo and surrounding skin is more pronounced due to the higher concentration of pigment.
Ongoing Healing and Pigment Fading:
The process of pigment removal continues after the treatment, as macrophages in the body digest and transport the broken-down pigment. This ongoing process may cause the tattoo to fade more over time, even after the initial treatment, contributing to the overall success of the removal.
By adhering to these guidelines, you can optimize tattoo removal treatment, ensuring a balance between effective results and client comfort while minimizing potential risks.

Key Puncte to Remember:
Wavelength Functions:
1064nm wavelength is effective for removing blue, black, and cyan pigments.
532nm wavelength targets red, coffee, and brown pigments.
Laser Beam Position:
The light beam should be always vertical to the skin. If the beam deviates from the vertical position, it reduces the laser’s energy efficiency, thus decreasing treatment effectiveness.
Treatment Technique:
For eyebrows, eye lines, and lip lines, the treatment spots should fold and translate into a continuous line.
For spots and naevi, treat them gradually in small sections.
The treated area may ooze blood during treatment, indicating the laser is effectively breaking down pigments.
Changing Treatment Heads:
The laser device comes with two interchangeable tips: 1064nm (for darker pigments) and 532nm (for lighter pigments).
Steps to Change the Treatment Heads:
Selecting the Tip:
Use the 1064nm tip for darker colors (black, blue, brown).
Use the 532nm tip for lighter colors (red, orange, pink).
Attaching the Treatment Tip:
Screw the treatment tip clockwise onto the handpiece to attach.
Unscrew counter-clockwise to remove the tip.
Note importante:
Avoid over-tightening the treatment tips.
Always turn off the machine or put it in safe mode before changing the treatment heads.
Quick Tips for Optimal Treatment:
Large Tattoo Treatment:
For large tattoos, treat part by part to avoid overwhelming the client with
discomfort and to allow for better precision.
Lighter Culoare Tattoo Removal:
Start with the 532nm head to treat lighter colors (e.g., red). After 2-3 treatments, red tattoos may darken to black or brown. Switch to the 1064nm head for further treatment.
How to Adjust the Spot Size During Pico Laser Treatment
The pico laser’s spot size and energy density can be controlled by changing the distance between the treatment head and the skin.
All laser beams naturally diverge once they leave the handpiece.
This means:
Closer distance to skin = larger spot size = lower energy density
Further away from skin = smaller spot size = higher energy density
This relationship is known as the optical focus point principle.
✔ Smaller spot (farther distance)
Energy is concentrated
Stronger photomechanical “shockwave”
Better for: tattoos, stubborn pigment, nevus of Ota, freckles
✔ Larger spot (close distance)
Energy spreads
Gentler interaction with skin
Better for: Melasma (avoid strong shockwave), Întinerirea pielii, Toning treatments, Large-area pigmentation
Note de siguranță
Always start with close contact to check tolerance.
Increase distance gradually — never jump directly to far mode
A larger spot covers more area but must use lower energy settings.
For sensitive skin (melasma), maintain 1–3 cm distance and avoid frosting.
Laser Treatment FAQ
Why does coffee pigment turn blue or black during treatment?
The color change to blue or black is a normal reaction due to the presence of iron and lead ions in coffee pigment. These ions can cause pigmentation when treated with lasers.
Recommendation:
Start with a 1064nm laser to address the pigment.
After about half a month, if the color turns blue, continue with 1064nm; if it turns red, switch to 532nm
Why don’t some red eyebrows show a reaction after laser treatment?
Red eyebrow pigments are often chemical-based and deeply embedded in the dermis, making them more difficult to remove.
Recommendation:
Use focused 1064nm energy to break down the pigment until blood spots appear. Afterward, use 532nm to complete the removal process
How can I remove speckles from the face?
Laser treatments are most effective on speckles caused by environmental factors, like sun exposure or climate.
Recommendation:
Shallow speckles respond better than deep or hereditary ones.
Use focused energy on senile plaques until blood spots appear.
Multiple sessions (three treatments with 45-day intervals) are often needed for best results.
How do I remove naevi (moles)?
Naevi can be treated with laser energy to break down the pigment.
Recommendation:
Focus the laser energy until blood spots appear to effectively remove the naevi.
Can scars be treated with laser removal?
Laser treatments for scar tissue can be challenging, and results may vary.
Recommendation:
Avoid using focused energy on scars. Instead, use a larger spot size and lower energy settings for safer treatment.
Can pregnant women undergo eyebrow laser removal?
No, laser treatments are not recommended for pregnant women due to potential risks.
Recommendation:
Avoid laser treatments for pregnant clients to ensure safety.
Is it safe to remove red blood streaks with lasers?
Removing red blood streaks can be problematic, as the 532nm wavelength may absorb hemoglobin, causing purpura and treatment failure.
Recommendation:
It is not recommended to treat red blood streaks with lasers. Consider alternative treatments for these conditions.
