At Image Clinic, we use advanced Q-Switch laser technology to safely and effectively fade unwanted tattoos with precision and minimal damage to the surrounding skin. Whether you’re looking to completely remove a tattoo or lighten it for a cover-up, our customized treatment plans are designed to deliver real results.
How Q-Switch Laser Tattoo Removal Works
Q-Switch lasers deliver ultra-short, high-energy pulses of light that target tattoo ink without damaging the surrounding tissue. The laser breaks the ink particles into tiny fragments, allowing your body’s immune system to naturally flush them away over time.
Different wavelengths are used to treat various ink colors, making Q-Switch one of the most versatile and effective tattoo removal technologies available.
✔ Initial Consultation – Our specialists will assess the size, color, depth, and age of your tattoo to create a personalized treatment plan.
✔ Treatment Process – Treatment times range from a few minutes to 30 minutes, depending on tattoo size
• Sensation feels like quick snaps of an elastic band
• Cooling and numbing options are available
• Whitening or “frosting” of the tattoo is normal and temporary
✔ Post-Treatment – Redness, swelling, and tenderness are common
• Some clients may experience blistering or scabbing
• Most return to normal activities the same day
• Healing typically takes 7–14 days
Strict aftercare is essential for optimal results and to reduce the risk of scarring.
Proper preparation helps ensure safe treatment and better results.
✔ Avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, and self-tanners for at least 2–4 weeks prior to treatment
✔ Do not apply lotions, oils, or makeup to the area on the day of treatment

✔ Stay well hydrated before your appointment
✔ Avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements when possible (unless prescribed - please inform us)

FAQ's

Q-Switch laser tattoo removal is effective for:
• Black and dark ink tattoos
• Multicolored tattoos
• Professional and amateur tattoos
• Old or faded tattoos
• Tattoos being lightened for cover-ups
During your consultation, we assess ink depth, color, skin type, and tattoo age to create a personalized treatment plan.
Tattoo removal is a process, not a one-time treatment. Most clients require 6–10+ sessions, depending on:
• Ink density and color
• Age of the tattoo
• Depth of the ink
• Individual skin type
• Location of the tattoo on the body
Sessions are typically spaced 6–8 weeks apart to allow proper healing and ink clearance.
There is little to no downtime for most clients. You can typically return to normal daily activities the same day.
It’s normal to experience redness, swelling, and tenderness in the treated area for a few days. Some clients may develop blistering or scabbing, which is part of the normal healing process. These effects usually resolve within 7–14 days.
We recommend avoiding sun exposure, heat, swimming, and intense exercise for 24–48 hours after treatment to allow proper healing.
Laser tattoo removal can cause some discomfort, but most clients find it very manageable. The sensation is often described as quick snaps against the skin, similar to an elastic band.
Treatment is very fast, and we use cooling and comfort measures to help minimize discomfort. Any sensitivity usually subsides shortly after the session. If needed, numbing options can be discussed during your consultation.
Everyone’s pain tolerance is different, but the majority of clients tolerate treatments well and find each session easier as the tattoo continues to fade.
