The most effective way to get rid of an unwanted tattoo is laser therapy. Laser treatments make it possible to completely remove the ugly souvenir within a few sessions. At Beauty Skin Clinics, prices for tattoo removal start at 150 PLN.
What does laser tattoo removal involve?
At Beauty Skin Clinics, we use two devices for laser tattoo removal:
- Q-Switched – a nanosecond laser, whose ultra-short pulses of variable length reach the deeper layers of the skin, where they break down pigment particles. The 1064 nm light beam is strongly absorbed by dark ink (black, green, blue), while the 532 nm wavelength effectively removes bright colors (red, yellow, orange).
- PicoClair – the highest-power picosecond laser, which emits wavelengths of four 1064 nm, 532 nm, 585 nm, 650 nm. The light beam, just as with the Q-Switched laser, breaks down the ink pigment into smaller particles, which are removed from the body. PicoClair works well for removing a large tattoo in a short period of time. The laser affects both dark and light pigments, and is suitable for any skin phototype.
How much does it cost to remove a tattoo with a laser?
Prices for tattoo removal with the Q-Switch laser start at PLN 150. On the other hand, the cost of PicoClair tattoo removal ranges from $400.
Tattoo removal prices depend not only on the type of procedure, but also on the size of the tattoo and the dyes used. Skin phototype and individual predisposition are also important. Therefore, it is difficult to predict in advance how much laser tattoo removal costs. Every tattoo is different, so we set prices during a free consultation.
Removal of a large tattoo – how many treatments does it take?
The number of treatments is also an individual issue. Removing a large tattoo will require less laser therapy than removing a minimalist tattoo. The age of the tattoo is also of great importance (the older it is, the easier it is to remove). In addition, the color of the ink is important, as well as how deep it is. Black, dark tattoos, especially on light skin, are easier to remove than colored ones.
With the help of the Q-Switch laser, 6-8 treatments are usually enough in the former case, while the latter usually requires more sessions. Removal of a colored tattoo can proceed faster with the PicoClair laser. There are two additional applicators for this device, CLEAR-Y, which removes light blue dye, and CLEAR-R, which removes green and turquoise dye, increasing the effectiveness of the treatment.
Laser tattoo removal – what is worth knowing?
In addition to how much laser tattoo removal costs, it is also worth knowing the details of how to perform such a procedure. Before choosing the right device, it is necessary to rule out possible contraindications and carry out the so-called “test”. laser test. These are essential elements of laser therapy, determining its safety.
Laser tattoo removal is not performed on pregnant women, diabetics, oncology patients, as well as patients with vitiligo, psoriasis in the active phase and infections running with inflammation. There are more contraindications, so before performing the procedure, make sure there is nothing to prevent you from doing it safely.
It is also worth knowing that after laser tattoo removal, the skin will require special protection – from the sun and other potentially irritating factors. During laser therapy, microchannels are formed in the skin, which must heal after the treatment. After the use of modern lasers, such as PicoClair and Q-Switch, the side effects of laser therapy are minimized; nevertheless, after tattoo removal, the skin needs several weeks to recover. This makes the whole project take some time, which has its good side, because it allows you to spread the cost of tattoo removal over several months.
