Tattoos made with great desire and care may need to be removed for various reasons over time. People may get bored after a certain period of time, they may not want it. Q-Switch Laser is used in tattoo removal treatment. This laser head is the most successful laser type in tattoo removal. During tattoo removal treatment, laser beams of different wavelengths suitable for the type of tattoo should be used. When laser light of appropriate wavelength is used, the paint used in the tattoo is broken and processed. As a result of this process, the paint, which is divided into very small pieces, is carried by the cells and removed from the body.
With the Q-Switch Laser method, old tattoos are treated in a shorter time than new tattoos.
The main mechanism of action of the laser is that it applies a unique intense light to the dye on the skin in a very short time period and separates it into smaller particles in the skin with a very rapid instant warming. However, despite this heat, the damage to the tissue is very low. Because the increase in temperature is only in a quarter of a billionth of a second. For this reason, laser tattoo removal does not cause a significant problem except mild pain.
