Yes, Nd:YAG laser is the industry-standard technology for laser tattoo removal. The 1064nm wavelength targets dark ink pigments, while the frequency-doubled 532nm wavelength treats red and warm-toned inks. This course teaches you tattoo removal protocols including energy settings, spot size selection, treatment spacing, managing client expectations for multiple sessions, and post-treatment wound care.

The Nd:YAG laser is considered one of the safest laser platforms for treating darker skin types (Fitzpatrick IV-VI) because its 1064nm wavelength bypasses melanin in the epidermis to reach deeper targets. This course covers Fitzpatrick skin typing, parameter adjustment for different skin tones, contraindication screening, and safety protocols to minimize the risk of hyperpigmentation or burns on all skin types.

Nd:YAG laser technicians are in demand at tattoo removal clinics, medical spas, aesthetic laser centres, and dermatology practices across BC and Canada.
