BRIGHTENING AND REMOVAL OF TATTOOS
Q-switch ND-YAG
* Neodymium Yag laser in Q-switch technology
* Invisible infrared light
* It is characterized by a very short pulse duration spoken in nanoseconds and with very high energy.
Q-Switch laser operation
This laser emits mainly two wavelengths, 1064nm and 532nm. The latest Nd: Yag lasers, thanks to extra color tips, have the ability to have an extra length of 1320 nm, which significantly expands the range of laser operation, making it possible to effectively remove almost any color on tattoos and perform a carbon peeling treatment.
The Q-Switch laser removes the tattoo by emitting very short (nanosecond) light pulses that are absorbed by the dye. After this absorption, the dye explodes into very small elements which are absorbed by the skin and then removed by the immune system.
TATTOOS
Due to the way tattoos are made, they can be divided into two types
1. Amateur tattoo
Most often it is performed with a dye that contains carbon particles that are injected to different depths. This may make it difficult to remove such a mark in the future.
2. Professional tattoo
It is performed with a sterile needle and dye. Drawings of this type are often multicolored.
We can also split tattoos into
A medical tattoo enables aesthetic correction, for example after surgery.
Decorative tattoo - the most popular, traditional drawing on the skin, which also includes permanent makeup.
Post-traumatic tattooing, which is most often created as a result of accidental damage to the skin and getting under it, such as dust or asphalt particles.
About Q-Switch laser
The elimination of discoloration is 12 times greater than with other devices available on the market
The perception of pain is 12 times lower than with other lasers
Increasing the efficiency of the laser by fragmenting the light prevents the formation of traces and blisters after the treatment.
Effective reduction of discoloration on all skin types
Red, brown, blue, black tattoo removal does not remove white color
Preparation of the skin for the treatment
Before the treatment, the skin must be hairless and clean.
Treatments on tanned skin can not be performed.
Tattoo removal
Removing tattoos on the skin often requires several treatments as they are found in many skin layers. It is relatively easy to remove a professional tattoo, where the ink is always at the same depth. Problems can arise with amateur tattoos, often quite deep.
The number of treatments also depends on the color or colors of the tattoos, the type of dye, pigment density, skin color and the individual reaction of each organism to the laser.
After the treatment, the patients feel warm and the skin is red.
After a few hours, the skin becomes darker and denser in the morning. After a few days, the scab will disappear. The next treatment is possible at an interval of 6-8 weeks.
Note that the tattoo does not disappear after one treatment.
An amateur tattoo usually disappears after 3-6 treatments, while a professional tattoo uses at least 6 treatments. A treatment lasts from several to several minutes. Thanks to the latest technology, the procedure is almost painless, safe and leaves no scars. Cooling and anesthetic ointments are rarely used.
For large tattoos, a whole range of treatments are performed at intervals of 6-8 weeks to allow the body to completely absorb the dye particles.
After the procedure (info for the client)
The most important thing is not to tear off the crusts that form after removal of the tattoo, as this can lead to scarring. It is also impossible to itch in the wound, which can itch.
The area on the skin should be protected from the sun and solarium for at least 6 weeks. It is good to use a cream with a high filter, which also protects the skin. If it provides relief to the patient, the treatment site can be cooled.
Do not use make-up on the treatment site, avoid situations that can cause damage to the skin, and do not use the sauna, fitness clubs and solarium. If you notice any changes, contact your doctor immediately.
Risks during the procedure
Every procedure, even the smallest one, carries the risk of complications. After laser removal of tattoos, temporary lightening or discoloration of the skin may occur. Small scars can appear very rarely.
Complications are more likely to occur in people with dark skin. In the case of tattoos made with rusty or very light tones, there is a danger of irreversible darkening under the influence of the laser.
A very small number of patients experience allergic reactions, bacterial infections and the possibility of discoloration or discoloration of the skin, but they usually disappear after 1-3 days.
There may be redness, slight swelling or small bubbles on the treated surface. to reduce possible discomfort during the treatment, we cool the skin with the use of appropriate means (creams, gels or cold compresses)
Contraindications
- dark skin tone
- the tendency to develop keloids
- very large area of the tattoo
- skin diseases etc ..
In some patients, bleeding spots may occur in areas with thinner epidermis.
It is normal for the skin to fade after the first treatment. The color should start back to normal within 10 minutes. Absorption and transport of macrophages can take a long time and the skin color can remain light, so we recommend that the next treatment is performed within a month and a half after the first treatment.
With black and blue pigmentation with a 1064 nm laser, the hair can lose color and fall out. But within two weeks, the hair will grow back (even temporarily thicker than before).
Moderate swelling and leaking blood may appear in the treatment area. It is normal to feel itchy or even painful to touch the affected area immediately after treatment.
All negative reactions will disappear within two weeks to a month. It depends mostly on the condition of the patient.
When treating brown and red pigmentation with a 532 nm laser, the surface of the skin may evaporate and pale. The epidermis may have an unpleasant odor and may fade or discolour due to radiation, as the hemoglobin in the tissue absorbs some of the laser energy.
When treating brown and red pigmentation with a 532 nm laser, subcutaneous vessels burst like capillaries, causing purpura or even crusting due to the absorption of the 532 nm laser light.
The recovery time depends on the patient's condition, but is usually 20 to 60 days.
