What is the Q-Switch Laser?

The Q-switched laser is great for those who have a few isolated colored spots, large or small, that you would like to remove. It is also effective against sunspots on the chest, arms, or legs. A single treatment usually removes an average of 75% or more of an individual brown spot. A second or, on rare occasions, a third treatment, may be needed to completely neutralize the color.

The Q-Switched laser is also effective in the removal of unwanted tattoos. During the removal procedure, laser light is applied to the tattooed area. The light is selectively absorbed by the tattoo ink particles, leaving the surrounding skin tissue and chromophores unharmed. The tattoo ink particles absorb the laser energy and shatter the ink into smaller particles.

In the days and weeks following a laser treatment, the body’s immune system flushes away the shattered ink particles, causing the tattoo to fade. Over a series of treatments, more and more of the ink shatters, leaving the skin more free of ink each time. The cost and number of treatments needed are dependant on size, color(s), age and whether it is professional or home-made.

Lazaderm® Reviews

The staff is always so nice and welcoming! Dr Hanson is great and makes the tattoo removal process virtually painless!!

Manda Fulton

The staff there are great. My first day and first treatment for tattoo removal went great. It did not hurt bad at all, my tattoo is right on my right wrist so my skin is very thin there. There is pain but if you could handle getting a tattoo you can handle this. It took him a couple of seconds to a 1 minute max for my first treatment. They were so kind and very upfront so you knew exactly what was going to happen, how it would feel, the possible pain afterwards and what to do to help yourself and them so you can have a smooth sailing process. I would recommend to everybody I know, and if I could, I would give them a lot more stars than what I did now.
