Tattoo Removal in Kochi
Unwanted tattoos can sometimes become a reminder of a past decision, changing preferences, or simply a desire for a cleaner appearance. Tattoo removal in Kochi offers a clinically guided approach to gradually fade unwanted tattoo ink while taking the surrounding skin into consideration. The treatment uses focused laser energy to target tattoo pigments, breaking them into smaller particles that the body can gradually clear.
Laser tattoo removal is a safe and effective treatment to gradually fade or remove unwanted tattoos. Treatment response varies depending on the age, colour, size, location, depth, and type of tattoo pigment, as well as your skin type.
Before Treatment
- The tattoo should be fully healed before laser treatment. As a general guideline, wait at least 6–8 weeks after getting a new tattoo before considering removal.
- Your dermatologist will examine the tattoo and assess your skin type, tattoo characteristics, medical history, and previous treatments.
- Avoid tanning and excessive sun exposure before treatment.
- Inform your dermatologist about any medications, skin conditions, allergies, or previous reactions to laser treatments.
- The expected number of sessions and treatment intervals will be discussed during your consultation.
- Red orange colours take even longer duration
During the Procedure
Protective eyewear is provided, and the laser-Q SWITCHED Nd Yag laser (HELIOS 3) is applied directly to the tattoo under topical anasthesia. The laser energy targets the tattoo pigment and breaks it into tiny particles, which are gradually cleared by the body's natural processes.A mild snapping or stinging sensation may be felt during treatment. Temporary redness, swelling, tenderness, or blistering may occur. Multiple sessions are usually required, with several weeks between treatments to allow the skin to heal and the pigment to fade.
Aftercare
- Keep the treated area clean and follow your dermatologist's wound-care instructions.
- Do not pick, scratch, or peel the treated skin, blisters, or crusts.
- Avoid direct sun exposure and use a broad-spectrum sunscreen once the area has healed.
- Avoid friction or activities that may irritate the treated area.
- Follow the recommended interval before your next session.
Important
Complete tattoo removal cannot always be guaranteed. Older tattoos may sometimes have faded naturally, but tattoo age alone does not determine how easily it can be removed. Your dermatologist will assess your tattoo and recommend the most appropriate treatment plan.
