Why Tattoo Removal Needs More Than One Laser
You do not need to know every laser name before your first visit. Here is a simple guide to the equipment we use for tattoo and permanent makeup removal at Laser House TLV, why we use different technologies, and how we choose an approach for your skin.
We work with three Quanta System laser technologies to match tattoo and permanent makeup removal to the pigment, skin tone and treatment goal. Depending on the system and handpiece, there are also options for skin texture and healed scars.
Q-Plus Evo C: Q-Switched Nano
Discovery Pico: Pico technology
Ruby 694 nm: Q-Switched Ruby
Nano and Pico describe very short laser pulses. Ruby describes a laser wavelength. You do not need to choose a device yourself: we assess your tattoo or permanent makeup and explain the proposed plan.

Why do we use different lasers?
Different ink colors absorb light differently. A wavelength describes the type of laser light used. Not every tattoo responds in the same way. Black ink, colored tattoos, permanent makeup and resistant pigment may require different wavelengths and treatment approaches. We therefore work with several technologies, including Ruby Laser at 694 nm, which may be considered for some green and blue pigments depending on skin and ink composition.
The device is selected after an individual assessment. Read more about colored tattoo removal and matching the laser to the pigment.
What does this mean for your treatment?
Our aim is to reduce ink while also considering skin texture and appearance throughout the process. Progress is assessed through changes in pigment as well as the skin’s response and healing. Results vary between individuals; complete removal and treatment without risk cannot be guaranteed.
What does a square laser spot do?
The treatment spot is the small area reached by each laser pulse. Quanta System’s OptiBeam II offers square, flat top handpieces designed for tattoo removal. The flat top profile distributes energy evenly across each treatment spot, while the square shape can help the practitioner position adjacent pulses and control overlap. Together, these features support consistent coverage.
Appropriate settings and careful technique remain essential to limit excessive heating and other skin reactions.

Skin texture, scars and Er:YAG
Depending on the skin and treatment goal, approaches aimed at skin texture and healed scars may also be considered. Read about fractional laser and the 8DF handpiece, Er:YAG for skin changes after earlier treatment, and scar types and treatment options. These articles are not instructions for treating a fresh burn yourself.
Healing also matters after permanent makeup removal: see our eyebrow PMU removal aftercare guide.
Quanta System and its development
At Laser House TLV, we work with Quanta System equipment from the Italian manufacturer founded in 1985. We chose these systems to match the technology to the pigment and skin, with the aim of reducing pigment while taking care of skin quality.
According to El.En. Group, the parent company of Quanta System, DiscoveryPICO VarioPulse received the “Best Innovations & Treatment Protocols” award at AMWC 2025 in Monte Carlo. This recognizes innovation; it does not guarantee an individual result or establish that a particular treatment is risk free.
According to Quanta System’s Discovery Pico specifications, VarioPulse offers a choice of three picosecond pulses. Available modes and handpieces depend on the model and configuration. Pulse duration, wavelength and energy are selected according to the pigment, skin, treatment response and practitioner’s assessment.
Learning at Quanta System in Italy
Knowing the equipment means more than knowing its name. We attend training at the Quanta System Academy in Italy and have visited the manufacturer’s factory. These photographs share a little of that visit with you.
Quanta System has been developing lasers since 1985. The blue history wall marks 40 years of the company’s development, from 1985 to 2025. You can see how its systems have changed over time.
Our experience and real treatment cases
Even an advanced laser system cannot replace careful assessment, understanding pigment behavior and an individual treatment plan. At Laser House TLV, we combine Quanta System technology with professional experience and follow the skin’s response to plan each next step.
