Laser Tattoo Removal in Hongdae – Safely Fade Unwanted Ink & Clear Your Skin
Regret a tattoo or want to make room for new ink? Whether it’s an old design, a name from the past, or a tattoo that no longer fits your lifestyle, laser tattoo removal offers a safe and effective way to fade or fully erase unwanted tattoos. At our clinic in Hongdae, we use advanced laser technology to break down tattoo pigments with minimal discomfort and downtime—so you can move forward with clear, healthy skin.
What Is Laser Tattoo Removal?
Laser tattoo removal works by delivering concentrated pulses of light that are absorbed by the tattoo ink. This causes the ink particles to shatter into smaller fragments, which are gradually cleared away by the body’s immune system over time.
We treat:
- Black and colored tattoos
- Amateur and professional tattoos
- Eyebrow tattoos (semi-permanent makeup)
- Tattoo blowouts and cover-up preparation
Why Choose Laser Tattoo Removal?
Key Benefits:
✅ Non-invasive and highly effective
✅ Safe for all skin types with minimal risk of scarring
✅ Targets all ink colors (with specialized laser wavelengths)
✅ Suitable for fading tattoos for cover-ups or full removal
✅ Minimal discomfort with fast sessions
✅ No surgery or downtime required
Laser Tattoo Removal Technology Used
Our Hongdae clinic uses state-of-the-art lasers that safely remove ink across different colors and skin types:
- Q-Switched Nd:YAG Laser
Industry-standard for tattoo removal—highly effective for black, blue, and red inks with minimal skin damage. - Pico Laser
Breaks ink into finer particles for faster fading and fewer sessions. Especially effective for stubborn or colorful tattoos. - Fractional Laser (for Skin Repair)
Often used post-removal to smooth texture, reduce pigmentation, and support skin regeneration.
What to Expect During Treatment
Each session lasts 10–30 minutes, depending on the tattoo size and color. Most patients describe the sensation as similar to a rubber band snap. Topical numbing cream is available for comfort.
After treatment, the area may appear red, swollen, or slightly blistered. These effects usually subside within a few days. You’ll be advised to keep the area clean, avoid sun exposure, and apply soothing ointment as needed.
How Many Sessions Are Needed?
- Professional tattoos: 6 to 10 sessions (spaced 6–8 weeks apart)
- Amateur tattoos: 3 to 6 sessions
- Eyebrow tattoos: 1 to 3 sessions, depending on depth and pigment type
Factors like ink depth, color, age of the tattoo, and skin type will affect the number of sessions required.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
You may benefit from laser tattoo removal if:
- You want to fully remove or fade a tattoo
- You’re planning a cover-up with a new design
- Your tattoo has blurred, faded unevenly, or caused regret
- You have no active skin infections or keloid history
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding
All treatments are customized for your tattoo, skin tone, and desired outcome.
Will the Tattoo Be Completely Gone?
Most tattoos can be significantly faded or fully removed, especially with Pico technology. Some colors (like green, yellow, and white) are more challenging but often respond over multiple sessions.
Our specialists will provide a realistic assessment during your consultation.
