LASER TATTOO REMOVAL — PROFESSIONAL TRAINING WITH Q-SWITCH TECHNOLOGY
1-DAY INDIVIDUAL TRAINING | HANDS-ON WITH REAL PATIENTS | PRISHTINA
Develop your knowledge and skills in laser tattoo removal through individual training that combines theory with direct practice on patients under the trainer’s supervision.
The course focuses on understanding Q-Switch technology, assessing the skin and tattoo characteristics, and planning treatment for each case. Learn to adapt your approach to the skin phototype, tattoo colour, location, and history, with particular attention to safety and realistic expectations.
HANDS-ON — YOU PERFORM THE TREATMENT YOURSELF
Practical training is at the heart of this course. You will personally perform a tattoo removal treatment on one patient/model, with guidance and supervision at every step: from the initial assessment and preparation of the area to operating the device and providing aftercare instructions.
The individual format provides dedicated attention, technique correction during practice, and teaching tailored to your professional level. The practical component includes one treatment session on one tattoo; it does not imply complete removal during the course.
