What is a Q- Switch Laser that is Used for Tattoo Removal

Laser treatment is considered as the best and only clinically proven treatment for tattoo removal. It is because the precision a laser provides is much more effective and almost harmless than any other procedures that have been used in the past.

The Q-Switch Laser built by putting together some variable attenuator inside the laser's optical resonator. When the attenuator is activated, the light beam generated by it doesn't return. The attenuation reacts to the quality factor of the resonator in a way that when the quality factor is high, then the resonator factor becomes low and vise versa. Due to the quality factor responsible for the working of the laser, this device is called the Q-Switch Laser.

For a long time, tattoos are considered as permanent. But it didn't stop people from inventing new processes to remove it. From chemical peel treatment to removing the tattooed skin, people have been using everything they could think of to remove their tattoos.

In this new age of lasers, Q Switch laser is used for tattoo removal. In this process, the tattooed skin is exposed to the laser. This laser fires short beams of laser on the skin, and the ink of the tattoo starts to absorb the heat from the laser.

As the ink starts to absorb the heat, it gets reactive and starts to scatter into small patches. After few sessions, the ink begins to fade. It is because the ink had scattered into small patches invisible to normal eyes. In time the immune system of your body flushes out this ink through sweat and other mediums, leaving the skin ink-free.
