Laser Eye Surgery Guide

The latest thing in laser tattoo removal is called Q-switch. In St. Louis and the surrounding area there are many places that use this procedure. Here’s more information about it.

Lasers have been used for removing tattoos since the early 1990s, even though the effectiveness of the method was first reported in the late 1960s. Lasers are also used for other cosmetic purposes, such as permanently removing hair and rejuvenating the skin.

Places to get this procedure performed include hair-removal clinics, dermatologists, cosmetic surgeons, some spas, and even some tattoo shops. They may refer to the procedure as Q-switch, pulsed light or simply laser therapy. Q-switch technology is use by most modern clinics and spas that perform these services.

Tattoos are put on a persons skin with the idea that they will be there forever. So it shouldn’t be a surprise that removing them isn’t an simple process. Below are some of the most common methods of tattoo removal and the positives and negatives of each procedure.

- Dermabrasion - a very painful method of sanding away the tattooed skin.

- Cryosurgery - where the tattooed skin is frozen and then removed.

- Excision - This is a procedure that involves removing the tattooed skin with a scalpel and then stitching the remaining skin together. As you can envision, not a good option on massive tattoos.
