LASER TATTOO REMOVAL
Browns & Co uses a Q-switched laser The Q-switched laser works by delivering intense light energy to the tattooed area, targeting the tattoo ink specifically. The laser energy breaks down the ink particles into smaller fragments, which are then gradually eliminated by the body’s immune system. The wavelength of the laser is chosen based on the colors of the tattoo ink, as different colors require different wavelengths to effectively break down the pigments. Q-switched laser tattoo removal is known for its ability to selectively target the tattoo ink while minimising damage to the surrounding skin. The procedure is generally safe and well-tolerated, although multiple sessions may be needed to achieve optimal results depending on the size, color, and depth of the tattoo. It’s important to consult with our Doctor or laser specialist to determine the best approach for your specific tattoo removal needs.

1. Consultation: Schedule a consultation with your Browns & Co laser specialist to assess your tattoo and determine if you are a suitable candidate for Q-switch laser tattoo removal.

3. Avoid self-tanning products: Do not use self-tanning products on the tattooed area before the treatment, as they can interfere with the laser’s ability to target the tattoo ink.
4. Avoid blood-thinning medications: If you are taking blood-thinning medications, consult with your healthcare provider about temporarily stopping them before the treatment to reduce the risk of bleeding or bruising.
1. Follow aftercare instructions: Your healthcare provider will provide you with specific aftercare instructions. Follow them carefully to promote healing and minimize the risk of complications. This may include applying an antibiotic ointment, keeping the area clean and dry, and avoiding certain activities that can irritate the treated area.
