Laser Tattoo Removal

Q-Switch laser tattoo removal for professional and amateur tattoos across a range of ink colours. Q-Switch nanosecond pulses target tattoo ink particles, shattering them into fragments the immune system can clear progressively over multiple sessions. Number of sessions varies by tattoo size, age, ink density, and colours. Consultation required to assess and quote.

Clear Skincare Clinics Perth Central offers laser tattoo removal using Q-Switch laser technology, a proven nanosecond-pulse modality that has been the clinical standard for tattoo removal in Australia for over two decades. The Q-Switch laser emits very short nanosecond-duration pulses at wavelengths selectively absorbed by different tattoo ink colours: 1064 nm wavelength targets dark inks including black and dark blue, which are the most commonly used tattoo colours and the most responsive to Q-Switch treatment, while 532 nm wavelength targets red and orange pigments. During treatment, the absorbed laser energy is converted almost instantaneously to mechanical shock wave energy within each ink particle, physically fragmenting the particle into microscopic pieces that are small enough to be engulfed and cleared by the body's macrophages through the lymphatic drainage system over the following weeks. This gradual immune clearance means tattoo removal requires a series of sessions rather than a single treatment: most professional tattoos with dense ink packing require six to twelve sessions spaced six to eight weeks apart to allow complete immune clearance between treatments. Amateur, cosmetic, and traumatic tattoos with lighter ink loading may clear in fewer sessions. Factors that affect the number of sessions required include the tattoo's age (older tattoos have often partially faded and respond faster), the ink colours present, the density of the ink packing, the location on the body (areas with stronger blood circulation and lymphatic drainage respond more quickly), and whether the tattoo has been previously treated. At the Perth Central clinic, patients receive a consultation assessment to evaluate these factors, estimate the likely session count, and receive personalised pricing before committing to treatment. The clinic's seven-day opening hours and central Brookfield Place location make it convenient for Perth CBD residents and workers seeking tattoo removal during extended weekday and weekend hours.
