Discover the transformative power of Q-switched laser technology for safe and effective tattoo removal at the Eye Center of Ephraim. Using advanced technology, our skilled professionals break down tattoo ink into tiny particles, allowing your body’s natural filtration system to gradually eliminate the ink.
Q-switched lasers deliver rapid pulses of energy that break down tattoo ink into tiny particles. The body’s immune system gradually removes these particles, fading the tattoo over multiple sessions.
Tattoo removal suits individuals with unwanted tattoos, regardless of color or size. Our experienced professionals will evaluate your skin type and tattoo to determine the most effective treatment plan.
Before: Avoid sun exposure and tanning beds. On the day of your appointment, do not apply creams or lotions to the treatment area.
During: The procedure involves passing the laser device over the tattoo, with sessions typically lasting 10-30 minutes, depending on the tattoo’s size.
After: You may experience redness, swelling, and slight discomfort, these effects usually subside within a few days.
Recovery is generally quick, with minimal downtime. Keep the treated area clean and moisturized, avoid sun exposure, and follow any additional aftercare instructions provided by your practitioner.
Most patients describe the sensation as similar to a rubber band snapping against the skin. While some discomfort is normal, it is generally tolerable. Topical anesthetics can be used to minimize pain during the procedure.
