<p>The Iris-SV delivers specific-wavelengths of light extremely quickly (in nano- seconds) at a very high energy. These pulses are selectively absorbed by the tattoo pigment, shattering it into tiny fragments small enough for the body to recognise the particles as a foreign object, and over the next several weeks some of particles (in shallow cuticle) are discharged from the body and the other part (in deep tissue) are absorbed and digested by the body&#39;s macrophages and removed out of the body by the immune system.</p>
