How Does Q-Switched YAG Laser Tattoo Removal Work?

The Q-Switched YAG Laser emits short, high-energy pulses of light that target tattoo ink beneath the skin’s surface. The laser energy:

  • Targets Pigment: The light is absorbed by the tattoo pigment, leaving the surrounding skin unaffected.
  • Shatters Ink Particles: The pigment is microscopically broken into tiny particles.
  • Natural Elimination: The body processes and eliminates these particles through its natural lymphatic system over time.

What to Expect During Treatment

Series of Treatments: Tattoo removal typically requires multiple sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart. The number of sessions depends on factors like the size, color, and depth of the tattoo.

Mild Skin Irritation: You may experience mild to moderate irritation, redness, or swelling of the treated skin. These effects usually resolve within a few days to a week, depending on the depth and amount of pigment being removed.

Benefits of Q-Switched YAG Laser Tattoo Removal

  • Effective on All Ink Colors: Particularly effective for dark ink (black, blue) and adaptable for lighter inks with adjustments.
  • Minimal Skin Damage: Targets tattoo pigment without harming surrounding skin.
  • Non-Invasive: A safe, non-surgical solution for tattoo removal.
  • Gradual Results: Allows your skin to heal naturally as the tattoo fades over time.

Is Tattoo Removal Painful?

Most patients compare the sensation to a rubber band snapping against the skin. A topical numbing cream can be applied before treatment to enhance comfort.
