Tattoo Removal at Yonsei Star Dermatology

How tattoos are planned

The colour, depth and density of the ink, the ink type, previous removal attempts and the state of the skin are assessed before a plan is made. Black and colour inks are treated at the wavelengths that match them; semi-permanent eyebrow and eyeliner pigment has its own protocol.

R-Zero

Picosecond laser followed by a medication application that allows up to four laser passes in a single session, reducing the total number of visits. The Pinhole method is used on dense or scarred tattoos to help deeper pigment clear. Sessions can be as close as monthly.

Expectation

Large or dense tattoos take a course over one to three years. Because the clinic's scar work informs its tattoo work, the surrounding skin and any existing scarring are treated as part of the plan rather than as collateral.

Questions

Will it scar?

Low-power repeated treatment is used precisely to avoid it; scarring is the outcome the protocol is designed against.

Every procedure carries risk, suitability differs between individuals and an outcome cannot be guaranteed.
