Deciding to get a tattoo is not always well thought out. Sometimes, after some time, we no longer want to see drawings or inscriptions on our body that we once liked or that had symbolic meaning. Modern methods help get rid of unwanted tattoos. One of these is the Q-Switch laser. Find out how it works?
Q-Switch Laser
Removing tattoos with Q-Switch is one of the most advanced methods for eliminating tattoos from the skin. It allows complete removal of even large, multicolored designs, without leaving any scars on the skin.
At Beauty Skin clinic, this equipment is successfully used for removing all types of tattoos, pigmentation, or permanent makeup.
How does Q-Switch work?
Q-Switch operation is based on a light beam with a variable wavelength, measured in nanoseconds. The wavelength depends on the type of pigmentation or tattoo and the pigments used. The 1064 nm beam is effective for removing dark colors such as black, blue, or green, while the 532 nm wavelength targets lighter colors like red, yellow, or orange. The laser causes the ink particles to break apart, resulting in their removal. Micro-damage caused during the procedure helps gradually eliminate the unwanted tattoo.
Advantages of Q-Switch
- Precision – The light impulse from the device reaches the deepest layers of skin and breaks down the pigment particles. The beam is directed exclusively at the ink, so surrounding tissues are not damaged.
- Versatile application – Q-Switch is not only used for laser tattoo removal. It is also an excellent solution for many other skin issues – effectively removing various pigmentation, or correcting unsuccessful permanent makeup.
- Safety – Only the ink is removed, and other skin tissues are left intact.
How many treatments are needed to remove a tattoo?
Experts at Beauty Skin emphasize that the number of treatments varies from person to person. It depends on the quality and depth of the tattoo. For black tattoos, usually 6 to 8 sessions are required.
Is the laser Q-Switch treatment painful?
Local anesthesia is used for the procedure, providing a high level of comfort for the patient, and pain sensations are minimized. The skin typically heals within about 6 weeks.
Contraindications for the procedure
- Tanned skin (especially tans acquired in the last 2 weeks; for tanning salons, 30 days)
