Laser technology precisely targets tattoo ink pigments, fragmenting them into tiny particles that your body naturally eliminates over time—without damaging surrounding skin. Sessions typically last 5 minutes to 30 minutes, based on tattoo size. For safety and compliance, treatments are always performed by qualified medical professionals, such as cosmetic doctors or dermatologists, as required by law.
Expect a mild tingling or snapping sensation from the laser's heat with each pulse—pain levels vary by location and personal tolerance but are generally very manageable, even for those with low pain thresholds. Post-treatment, some redness or small blisters may occur; apply a soothing healing cream to ease discomfort.
Results aren't guaranteed and depend on the tattoo's pigments and colors. Challenging hues like red, light blue, or yellow respond less effectively to lasers. Nd:YAG lasers safely treat all skin types, but avoid sessions if recently tanned, as it reduces efficacy. With good response, tattoos fade progressively over sessions, often vanishing completely without scars or traces.
Expect around €100 per session, with 6 treatments spaced 1.5 months apart being typical—though stubborn tattoos may require up to a dozen. Ultimately, removal often costs more than the original tattoo.
