Laser Tattoo Removal in Kottayam — Erase the Past

Tattoo regret is far more common than the tattoo industry acknowledges — estimates suggest 1 in 5 tattooed people want at least one removed. At DermaVue Kottayam, PicoSure picosecond and Q-Switched Nd:YAG laser systems remove all colours of ink — professional, amateur, eyebrow, and permanent makeup tattoos — with precision targeting that minimises scarring.

Laser Technologies Used

PicoSure vs Q-Switched — Why Both Are Needed

No single laser removes all tattoo colours. DermaVue Kottayam selects the appropriate laser based on your tattoo's ink colours and characteristics.

⚡

PicoSure / Picosecond Laser

Picosecond pulses (10⁻¹² seconds) shatter ink into microscopic particles — smaller than Q-switched. Particularly effective for: blue and green inks (historically hardest to remove), multi-coloured tattoos, resistant tattoos that failed standard Q-switched treatment. Faster clearance, fewer sessions.

🔴

Q-Switched Nd:YAG (1064/532nm)

Gold standard for black and dark blue ink (1064nm) and red ink (532nm). Nanosecond pulses. Deep tissue penetration for professional tattoos. Excellent for dark ink on darker Indian skin tones with minimal PIH risk at correct settings.
