In the 1980's CO2 laser tattoo removal became the standard for the industry. Bursts of laser light were used to break up the pigment inks beneath the skin surface. Once broken down into smaller particles, the body's own white cells would carry the pigments away to be flushed out of the system.
Today, Q-switched lasers have set a new standard for laser tattoo removal. These lasers emit very powerful, but shorter bursts of light that break up pigment particles without significant damage to the skin, so scarring is almost non-existent. Since the Q-switched laser breaks down ink particles much smaller than the previous CO2 laser, the procedure yields results far more quickly.Although somewhat effective, CO2 laser tattoo removal had some drawbacks. The laser actually damaged the surface skin, often leaving a scar where the treatment had taken place. It also often left behind a "ghost" of the tattoo itself. In a nutshell, the entire procedure was painful and could leave you with a result that was likely less attractive than the tattoo you originally wanted to remove.
You should be aware that a single laser treatment is usually not enough to remove an entire tattoo, so repeated treatments may be necessary. These are usually spaced about a month apart. This gives the body time to remove the particles so a better judgment can be made about the necessity of further treatments.

Disadvantages of carbon-dioxide laser?
Carbon-dioxide lasers can be expensive to purchase and maintain. They also require proper ventilation to remove the generated smoke and fumes. Additionally, they have a higher risk of causing thermal damage to surrounding tissues compared to other types of lasers.
How can carbon dioxide emissions be measured?
A cars carbon dioxide emissions can be measured by: * Laser light absorption techniques * Diverting a portion of the exhaust flow intoo a chemical cell * Bagging the emissions for late analysis * Portable CO2 meters
Can a laser cutter cut diamond?
Yes, a laser cutter can cut diamond because diamond is a carbon-based material, and carbon can be vaporized by a high-powered laser. However, the process can be challenging due to diamond's exceptional hardness, which can damage the laser cutter's lenses and mirrors. Specialized techniques and equipment are required for cutting diamonds with a laser cutter.

What plastic is suitable for laser cutting?
Polyester plastics, ABS, PET, PMMA, nylon, acrylic, and many other plastics are good for laser cutting. The acrylic will cut and leave a polished edge if done properly. ABS is a material used in many parts, including automotive components, and cuts and leaves a good edge. Textiles made of polyester or nylon will cut and seal (not fray) with laser cutting. Avoid plastics with carbon in them because they can discolor. For example, Lexan is a brand name for polycarbinate material (same as bulletproof glass). As the name polycarbinate indicates, carbon is a part of this material, and carbon can change color or turn black and sticky when laser cut. Thin polycarbinate membrane material can be laser cut well, but quarter inch polycarbinate typically gives bad results. Avoid plastics like vinyl and PVC because they give off chlorine acid when cut, polyvinyl chloride. The acid will deteriorate the machine and can injure the operator if not exhausted properly. Some plastics were designed for laser use and thus perform exceptionally well. Rowmark makes a line of plastics that are two color laminates for laser engraving and cutting. See the related link for laser cut samples.

Wave length of carbon dioxide laser?
The wavelength of a carbon dioxide (CO2) laser typically ranges from 9.2 to 10.8 micrometers (μm), which falls within the mid-infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum. This wavelength is suited for applications such as industrial cutting, welding, engraving, and medical procedures.

How can one accurately measure carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere?
One can accurately measure carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere using instruments like gas analyzers or satellites that can detect and quantify the concentration of carbon dioxide in the air. These instruments use various methods such as infrared spectroscopy or laser-based techniques to measure the amount of carbon dioxide present in the atmosphere.
