Q-Switch

• • The lasers are an invisible beam of light that specifically targets the brown pigment or melanin present in the dark spots without affecting the skin surrounding it.
  • These pulses are powerful enough to shatter tiny fragments of ink or pigmented tissues and stimulate collagen production.
  • The laser’s primary benefit is reaching deeper areas where products or peels can’t.

How Q-Switched Lasers Are Used

Laser Used for Tattoo and Pigment Removal

A quality-switched laser (Q-Switched) is a non-invasive laser that creates high-intensity pulsed beam light. The Q-Switched laser beam pulses last a mere billionth of a second. The energy emitted from a Q-switched laser is concentrated into very powerful pulses.

Q-Switched lasers are able to shatter tiny fragments of pigmentation or ink, stimulate collagen production or kill fungus. Because their contact with the skin is less than other lasers, Q-Switched lasers are known for not damaging surrounding tissue and causing unwanted side effects.

With advanced technology, Q-Switched lasers are used for many conditions, including the following:

• • • • Tattoo removal
      • Treatment of onychomycosis (toenail fungus)
      • Age spots
      • Sunspots
      • Birthmarks
      • Freckles
      • Moles
      • Spider veins
      • Café-au-lait spots
      • Telangiectasia
      • Angiomas
      • Port wine stains
      • Skin rejuvenation

This procedure is safe, painless, and highly recommendable. Sometimes, a temporary red or brown spot may appear but will usually get healed on its own within a couple of days.

Q-Switched Nd: YAG Laser is used mostly for non-ablative skin rejuvenation, darkened scars, brown birthmarks. It is recognized for its ability to remove a wide range of tattoo colors.

While every patient is different, each tattoo that is undergoing removal is different. Different laser wavelengths are required to remove different colors of tattoo ink.

The Q-Switched Laser Tattoo Removal Process

Laser tattoo removal is the only method proven to remove tattoos without scarring. To remove a tattoo, the Q-Switched laser is pulsed over the tattoo, directing its light energy towards the ink. The energy is absorbed by the ink particles which then shatter into tiny fragments.

In the days following the laser procedure, the body’s immune system will flush away the shattered ink particles and cause the tattoo to fade. With more treatments, more ink will be shattered leaving the skin free of the tattoo.

Only Q-Switched lasers are able to produce the amount of energy to remove both dark and bright tattoos without scarring.

Post-procedure clients need to maintain a proper skincare routine and avoid the sun for the specified period. Tanus ensures that every client receives quality and affordable Q-switch treatment.

It usually takes about 6-8 sessions for the treatment to be conducted effectively. Q-switched lasers are valued for their effectiveness in tattoo removal, pigmentation, and photo facial.
