Tattoo Removal
What is Tattoo Removal and How Does it Work?
Tattoo Removal is a medical procedure that uses advanced laser technology to break down unwanted tattoo pigments safely and effectively without damaging the surrounding skin.
The laser emits high-intensity light that targets tattoo ink particles beneath the skin. These particles are shattered into smaller fragments, which are then naturally eliminated by the body’s immune system over time. Multiple sessions are required depending on tattoo colour, depth, size, and age.

Tattoo Removal Procedure
Pre-Treatment:
A dermatologist evaluates the tattoo size, colour, depth, and skin type. A personalised treatment plan and estimated session count are discussed. Sun exposure should be avoided before treatment.
During the Treatment:
The area is cleaned and protective eyewear is provided. Laser pulses are delivered over the tattooed area, creating a snapping sensation. The session duration ranges from 10–30 minutes depending on tattoo size.
Post-Treatment Care & Recovery:
Mild redness, swelling, or frosting may occur temporarily. A soothing ointment is applied, and sun protection is advised. Sessions are spaced 4–6 weeks apart for optimal clearance.
