Tattoo Removal with Q-Switched Nd:YAG Laser
How Does Q-Switched Nd:YAG Laser Tattoo Removal Work?
Q-Switched Nd:YAG laser is an effective and widely used technology for tattoo removal. It targets the pigments in the tattoo by sending high-energy light pulses. During the process, the laser light penetrates the color pigments on the tattoo and breaks these pigments into small particles. When the laser light is directed at the tattoo pigments, it is absorbed by these pigments and converted into heat energy. The heat energy breaks down the tattoo pigments and neutralizes the pigments around the connective tissue cells. The broken pigments are then naturally absorbed and excreted by the body. The feature of the Q-Switched Nd:YAG laser is that it has the ability to send very short and powerful pulses. In this way, it only targets the tattoo pigments while causing minimal damage to the surrounding tissues. At the same time, different wavelength adjustments can be made for different colored tattoos, thus ensuring that tattoos of various colors are effectively removed. The tattoo removal process usually consists of several sessions. Each session adjusts the laser’s energy and frequency based on factors such as the size, color, and depth of the tattoo. You may feel a slight burning sensation or tenderness during the procedure, but cooling devices are usually used to provide relief after the procedure. Q-Switched Nd:YAG laser tattoo removal is highly effective and safe. However, each individual’s tattoo removal needs are different, so it is important to consult a dermatologist to determine the most appropriate treatment plan for you.
Is Q-Switched Nd:YAG Laser Tattoo Removal Painful?
Q-Switched Nd:YAG laser tattoo removal can usually cause mild pain, but this can vary depending on your pain tolerance and the size of the tattoo. During tattoo removal, the Q-Switched Nd:YAG laser uses intense light energy on the skin. While the light energy penetrates the tattoo pigments under the skin, it can also create a slight warming or numbing sensation on the skin. We use various methods to minimize pain during the procedure. Before the procedure, we apply a topical anesthetic cream to the skin or cool the skin surface with cooling devices. All these precautions we take reduce pain and provide a more comfortable experience during the procedure. An experienced team will greet you in our clinic with Q-Switched Nd:YAG laser tattoo removal.

How Long Does Q-Switched Nd:YAG Laser Tattoo Removal Take?

Generally, a single Q-Switched Nd:YAG laser session can last between 10 and 30 minutes. However, the duration of tattoo removal with Q-Switched Nd:YAG laser may vary depending on the size of the tattoo, its color, depth and the area where the tattoo is located. Generally, a single Q-Switched Nd:YAG laser session may last between 10 and 30 minutes. However, more than one session may be required depending on the size, color and other features of the tattoo. Tattoo removal works by breaking down the pigments in the skin of the tattoo and expelling them through the body's natural processes. This process can take time and several sessions may be required for full results. One of the factors that affects tattoo removal time is the depth of the tattoo. While deep tattoos may require more sessions, smaller and superficial tattoos may provide faster results. It is best to consult with our specialists in our clinic to have more precise information about the treatment duration and number of sessions. They can create the most appropriate treatment plan for you based on the characteristics of your tattoo by making a special assessment for you.
