Tattoo Removal — Spectra XT Laser

Tattoo removal at Laserstudio uses the Spectra XT multi-wavelength laser, a professional system capable of treating all tattoo types — single-colour black-ink and multicolour designs alike. The Spectra XT delivers ultra-short nanosecond pulses that shatter ink particles into microscopic fragments that the body's immune system naturally eliminates over several weeks. The clinic describes the process as absolutely safe with no risk of scarring, and the multi-wavelength capability ensures that pigments of different colours are addressed by the optimal laser wavelength for each. The treatment is effective year-round on all skin types. The number of sessions required depends on tattoo size, ink saturation, and colours; MUDr. Bednář's team discusses this at an initial consultation.

Tattoo removal at Laserstudio is performed on the Spectra XT, a multifunctional Q-switched laser platform designed for safe, effective ink fragmentation across the full pigment spectrum. The Spectra XT operates across multiple wavelengths — including 1064 nm for dark inks and 532 nm for red, orange, and yellow pigments — enabling the clinic to treat complex multicolour tattoos that single-wavelength systems cannot address completely. The mechanism of laser tattoo removal relies on selective photothermolysis: the ultra-short pulse duration (nanoseconds) delivers energy intense enough to thermally shatter ink particles without transferring significant heat to surrounding tissue. The fragmented ink particles are small enough to be recognised as foreign bodies by the lymphatic system and gradually eliminated through the body's natural clearance pathways over 4–8 weeks following each session. This is why multiple sessions spaced weeks apart are necessary — each session removes another layer of ink fragments, progressively lightening the tattoo. The number of sessions required varies considerably: professionally applied black tattoos typically require 6–10 sessions, while amateur black tattoos may clear in fewer. Multicolour tattoos and those with green, blue, or white pigments are generally the most resistant and may require additional sessions. The clinic discusses expected session numbers at the initial consultation, where the dermatologist assesses ink depth, saturation, skin type, and tattoo age. The treatment is suitable for all skin types and can be performed year-round, including in summer — unlike some older systems that require strict sun avoidance. Mild erythema and swelling are normal immediately after each session; blistering is uncommon but possible with heavily saturated ink. UV protection is required on the treated area between sessions. The clinic does not guarantee complete tattoo removal (no laser system can for all cases), but describes the risk of scarring as absent when treatment protocols are followed correctly.
