Laser Type Used

Q-Switched Laser (Generic)

Q-switched lasers represent the industry standard for professional tattoo removal, utilizing rapid, high-energy pulses to thermo-acoustically break down tattoo ink particles into minute fragments. These advanced laser systems emit ultra-short pulses of light (measured in nanoseconds) at specific wavelengths that target tattoo pigments while minimizing damage to surrounding tissue. The “Q-switched” designation refers to the quality-switching technique that allows the laser to store energy and release it in extremely brief, powerful bursts that create photoacoustic effects to shatter ink particles. Common Q-switched laser types include Nd:YAG lasers (1064nm for darker inks, 532nm for lighter colors), Ruby lasers (694nm), and Alexandrite lasers (755nm), with wavelength selection depending on ink colors and skin type. Once fragmented by the laser energy, the microscopic ink particles are naturally absorbed and eliminated by the body’s lymphatic system over several weeks, with the process typically requiring multiple treatment sessions spaced 4-8 weeks apart for optimal clearance results.
