The decision to get a tattoo is often made on impulse. For most people, drawings and inscriptions on the body are symbolic, so they proudly display them. However, there are times when we no longer like the tattoo over time, or it has simply been unsightly or has become outdated. Then we can opt for laser tattoo removal. Made with modern equipment, it is safe and, importantly, effective.
Tattoo removal with Q-Switch laser
Q-Switch tattoo removal is a modern method to get rid of unwanted tattoo from the body. The laser action makes it possible to remove even large and multi-colored drawings. The wavelength of the device’s light is selected individually for the type of tattoo and the type of dyes. The 1064 nm laser beam is used to remove dark colors, while the 532 nm wavelength works well for lighter colors. The laser works very precisely – it directs energy only into the carcass, without damaging other tissues.
How does the laser work?
The laser leads to the breakdown of the ink particles, which are then removed from the body. The light beam creates controlled micro-damage to the skin so that the pigments lose their color and the tattoo eventually disappears from our body. Prior to the procedure, local anesthesia is used to reduce pain sensations to a minimum. Tattoo removal in our clinic is an excellent way to get rid of the unwanted drawing from the surface of the skin. The treated area of the body usually heals for about 6-8 weeks, and no scars remain on the skin.
