Laser Tattoo Removal

Laser tattoo removal at MED-LASER Jihlava uses a fractional Q-switched Nd:YAG laser — a clinically validated device capable of shattering a wide range of ink pigments into particles small enough for the immune system to absorb and clear over time. The Q-switched mechanism delivers energy in extremely short nanosecond pulses, targeting ink particles with sufficient intensity to fragment them while minimising heat transfer to the surrounding dermis. The clinic understands that attitudes to tattoos change over time, and the availability of this technology means that an unwanted tattoo no longer has to be a permanent fixture. The treatment is delivered by an experienced team under medical supervision and the starting price from 500 Kč makes it one of the more accessible tattoo removal options in the Vysočina region.

Tattoo ink is composed of pigment particles suspended in a carrier fluid. When a tattoo is applied, the particles are deposited in the dermis — deep enough that the body's immune cells cannot naturally remove them at scale, which is why tattoos are permanent. Q-switched laser technology breaks this stasis by delivering energy in pulses measured in nanoseconds: these ultra-short bursts create a photoacoustic shockwave that shatters the ink particles into fragments small enough for macrophages — the immune system's scavenging cells — to engulf and transport to the lymph nodes for clearance. MED-LASER Jihlava uses a fractional Q-switched Nd:YAG laser for tattoo removal. The Nd:YAG wavelength (1064 nm) targets dark inks effectively; in Q-switched mode it also generates a second harmonic at 532 nm that addresses red and orange pigments. The fractional modality means the laser energy is delivered in a pattern of micro-columns rather than as a uniform beam, which reduces overall thermal load and supports faster recovery between sessions. The number of sessions required varies significantly depending on the tattoo's characteristics: amateur tattoos in a single dark ink typically clear in 3–6 sessions, while professional multi-colour work may require 8–15 or more. Each session must be spaced 6–8 weeks apart to allow the cleared ink to be transported by the immune system before the next treatment. Results are cumulative — the tattoo fades progressively with each session, and full clearance is the realistic goal for most dark-ink tattoos. The clinic provides before-and-after photographic documentation showing successful tattoo removal outcomes from their existing patient base. Preparation: the area to be treated should not be tanned or sun-damaged. Avoid sun exposure for 4 weeks before each session. Shave any hair from the treatment area before the appointment. Post-treatment: mild blistering and redness are expected in the 24–48 hours immediately after treatment. Keep the area clean and dry, apply prescribed aftercare if provided, and avoid sun exposure for at least 4 weeks. Do not pick at any blisters or scabs. Multiple sessions are required for meaningful tattoo clearance. The clinic advises direct contact — ideally with a photo of the tattoo — so the physician can give an accurate session estimate and cost forecast.
