Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Tattoo removal pricing depends on size, colors, and number of sessions needed. Small tattoos may start from affordable rates while larger pieces require customized quotes. Contact +91 8129883331 for accurate pricing based on your specific tattoo.
Absolutely. We specialize in cosmetic tattoo removal including eyebrow tattoos and microblading. Our precise laser settings target only the pigment while preserving natural eyebrow hair, typically requiring 2-4 sessions.
Most patients describe it as rubber band snaps against the skin. We use topical numbing cream and cooling devices to minimize discomfort. The sensation is brief, and most find it very tolerable with our pain management protocols.
PicoWay and PicoSure lasers with multiple wavelengths are most effective for multicolored tattoos. Different wavelengths target specific colors – 1064nm for black, 532nm for red, and 755nm for blues and greens.
Yes, with proper laser selection and settings. We use specific protocols for darker skin types to minimize risks of pigmentation changes. Our dermatologists are experienced in treating all Kerala skin types safely.
Amateur tattoos typically need 3-6 sessions, professional tattoos 6-12 sessions, and complex multicolored pieces may require more. Factors include ink depth, colors, age of tattoo, and your immune system’s response.
We strongly advise against at-home removal methods which can cause scarring and infection. Professional laser treatment at a medical facility ensures safety, effectiveness, and proper wound care management.
Very small, light tattoos might significantly fade in one session, but complete removal typically requires multiple treatments for the immune system to clear fragmented ink particles. We provide realistic expectations during consultation
While we don’t offer free removal, we provide competitive pricing and EMI payment plans to make treatment accessible. Package deals for multiple sessions offer better value than individual session pricing.
