Laser for Tattoo Removal
Laser Tattoo Removal Treatment
Whether it’s a name, symbol, or design that no longer resonates with you, laser tattoo removal gives you a second chance—without damaging your skin.
Q-Switched Nd:YAG laser technology to remove tattoos of all colours, safely and effectively—even for Indian skin types.
1. How does Laser Tattoo Removal work ?
Tattoos are made of pigment particles injected into the deeper layers of the skin. These pigments are too large for your immune system to clear on its own.
That’s where lasers come in:
- Laser emits short, high-energy pulses of light.
- This light is absorbed by the tattoo ink (different wavelengths for different colours).
- The ink shatters into tiny particles.
- Your body’s immune system gradually flushes out these particles over time.
Why We Use Q-Switched Nd:YAG Laser:
- Safe for darker Indian skin tones
- Effective on black, blue, red, and green pigments
- Minimal risk of scarring or pigmentation
- Requires less downtime and is clinically proven.
2. How many sessions are required ?
Tattoo removal usually requires 6–10 sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart, depending on:
- Tattoo size

Frequently Asked Questions
How Does Laser Tattoo Removal Work?
Laser tattoo removal works by using high-intensity light beams that target the ink in the tattoo. The laser breaks down the ink particles into smaller fragments, which are then naturally eliminated by the body’s immune system over time.
Is Laser Tattoo Removal Painful?
The sensation during treatment varies, but most people describe it as similar to the feeling of a rubber band snapping against the skin. Numbing creams can be applied to minimize discomfort. For larger tattoos, local anesthesia may be used.
How Many Sessions Are Needed?
The number of sessions depends on factors like the size, color, and location of the tattoo, as well as how deeply the ink was applied. On average, it can take between 5 to 10 sessions spaced 6-8 weeks apart for optimal results.
What Colors of Ink Can Be Removed?
Some colors are easier to remove than others. Black and dark colors are typically the easiest to treat, while bright colors like green, yellow, and fluorescent inks may require more sessions or special lasers.
How Long Does Each Session Last?
A typical laser tattoo removal session can last anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour, depending on the size and complexity of the tattoo. Smaller tattoos will generally require less time.
