Fade unwanted ink with precision at Northwest Beauty & Wellness. Our laser tattoo removal treatments target a wide range of ink colors and tattoo depths using the advanced Q-Switch YAG setting on the Spectrum laser. It’s a safe, effective way to clear the canvas—naturally, beautifully, and professionally.
Fade Unwanted Ink Safely and Effectively
Laser tattoo removal is a non-invasive treatment that uses focused light energy to break down tattoo ink particles in the skin. At Northwest Beauty & Wellness, we use the Q-Switch YAG setting on the Spectrum laser, which delivers short, high-intensity pulses to target and fragment ink without damaging the surrounding tissue. Over time, your body naturally eliminates the ink through its lymphatic system. This treatment is ideal for fading or removing unwanted tattoos.
Laser Tattoo Removal Corrects:
- Unwanted or outdated tattoos
- Poorly executed or blurry designs
- Tattoos that have faded unevenly
- Ink that no longer reflects your style
- Visible tattoos affecting job opportunities
- Partial designs needing revision or cover-up
- Multi-colored tattoos with hard-to-remove pigments
How Does Q-Switch YAG Laser
Tattoo Removal Work?
Q-Switch YAG laser tattoo removal works by delivering rapid, high-energy pulses of light that penetrate the skin and target tattoo ink. The Spectrum laser’s dual wavelengths—1064 nm for dark colors and 532 nm for reds and yellows—break ink into tiny fragments without damaging surrounding tissue.
Once fragmented, your immune system gradually clears away the particles through the lymphatic system. Because the laser works in billionths of a second, it minimizes heat buildup, making the treatment safer for a wide range of tattoo types.
Advantages of Q-Switch YAG Laser Tattoo Removal:
- Target multiple ink colors with dual wavelengths
- Break down pigment without harming the surrounding skin
- Minimize the risk of scarring or permanent skin damage
- Suitable for various skin tones and tattoo types
- Short, high-energy pulses for efficient ink removal
- Allow gradual fading or complete removal over time
- Minimal downtime and a non-invasive procedure
Your Laser Tattoo Removal Session
During your laser tattoo removal session, we’ll start by cleansing the treatment area and applying a cooling gel for comfort. You’ll wear protective eyewear while we use the Q-Switch YAG setting on the Spectrum laser to deliver short, precise pulses of light to the tattoo. You may feel a snapping sensation, similar to a rubber band against the skin. The sessions are typically quick, depending on the tattoo’s size and colors, and we’ll ensure your comfort throughout.
Laser Tattoo Removal FAQs
Does Laser Tattoo Removal Hurt?
You may feel a sensation similar to a rubber band snap during treatment. While discomfort is possible, it’s typically manageable. We offer cooling methods to help minimize any irritation and keep you as comfortable as possible throughout your session.
Will There Be Any Downtime After Treatment?
Most people experience minor redness, swelling, or sensitivity in the treated area for a day or two, but there’s usually no significant downtime. You can return to most normal activities right away, although proper aftercare is essential for a full recovery.
How Many Sessions Will I Need to Remove My Tattoo?
The number of sessions varies depending on the tattoo’s size, ink colors, depth, and age. Most clients need 4 to 10 sessions spaced several weeks apart to achieve optimal fading or removal.
Can All Ink Colors Be Removed?
The Q-Switch YAG laser uses dual wavelengths to target a wide range of colors. Dark pigments like black and blue respond well to the 1064 nm setting, while the 532 nm setting is effective on red, orange, and yellow inks. Some colors may require more sessions to fade.
