Introduction

Unwanted tattoos don’t have to be permanent. At Wellness Center of Cleveland, we offer state-of-the-art tattoo removal treatments using Q-Switch laser, a safe and effective solution designed to break down tattoo ink particles and help you achieve clear, ink-free skin.

What Is Laser Tattoo Removal?

Q-Switched laser delivers ultra-short pulses of high-intensity light that target and shatter pigment particles in the tattoo without damaging the surrounding skin. Your body’s natural immune system gradually clears away these fragmented ink particles over time.
