Frequently Asked Questions
How does a q-switched laser work?
The Q-Switched Nd:YAG laser using Next Generation technology delivers high energy light pulses. These pulses are then absorbed by the tattoo, breaking down the pigment into tiny particles small enough for the body to naturally remove.
What kind of tattoos can be treated?
- Professional and Amateur tattoos
- Traumatic tattoos resulting from accidents
- Cosmetic tattoos
How many treatments will I need?
The number of treatments may vary depending on the size, colour and location of the tattoo. Your laser technician will work with you to develop a treatment plan.
Can the q-switch laser remove all colour tattoos?
The Q-Switch laser works best on removing blue, black, blue/black, red, green, and yellow.
What can I expect during the treatment?
Pain tolerance varies from person to person. Many describe the treatment as a rubber band snap to the skin. Although no anesthesia is required, topical anesthesia can be requested for especially sensitive areas.
What can I expect after the treatment?
Your laser technician will give you specific post-treatment instructions. While your skin may be slightly red immediately after the procedure, this should resolve within a few hours. You can resume your normal activities immediately following treatment.
