Q-switched lasers are viewed as the gold standard for laser enabled tattoo removal. These systems are more effective in removing tattoos with a well-established safety profile, despite certain limitations. Currently, several sessions are required over a period of time have remained the suite for laser tattoo clearing. Some of the prominent limitations of Q-switched tattoo removal include remaining traces of pigment, longer treatment duration with large gaps between sessions, ink retention, and side effects such as dyschromia and blistering. Several initiatives are being undertaken to oversome such limitations by technique modifications thus bringing methods such as R20, R0, combination of imiquimod and Q-switch laser and so on. This makes Q-switch laser as the mainstay of laser tattoo removal solutions as demonstrated in several studies and reviews. There are situations where more than one type of laser is used for removing multicolored tattoos, and appropriate laser selection further improves treatment outcomes while ensuring low scarring or pigmentary alterations. Black and dark blue pigments respond well to Q-switched ruby laser, as well as green pigment. Additionally Q-switched Nd:YAD 532 nm laser efficiently clears red pigments in a average course of three sittings.
