As society and workplace become more aesthetically oriented, facial aesthetic treatments among men have become more popular in the last 2 decades.
Tattoo Removal
People remove tattoos for all kinds of reasons, e.g. desire to wear sleeveless shirts, avoid rejection/judgment by colleagues or friends, etc.
Having a tattoo may sometimes pose some difficulty in starting a new romance or getting a new job. Many people, therefore, consider removing their tattoos to start afresh.

What is Laser Tattoo Removal?
One of the advances in tattoo treatment is to remove or lighten tattoos using a laser, e.g. Q-switch Nd-YAG laser. This Q-switch Nd-YAG laser delivers pulses of energy that are selectively absorbed by the tattoo pigment. The powerful laser beam breaks the tattoo pigment ink into tiny fragments, which are then cleared away by your body’s natural cleansing mechanism. Several sessions of treatment are required and the risk of scarring the skin is minimal. The treatment is painful and local anesthesia is usually given.
In general, the blue, black and red tattoos are easy to remove and the Helios III laser that our clinic operates, with its fractional capability, meets the needs for such tattoo removal. However, tattoos with green ink are more challenging and our clinic currently does not have the capability to remove green tattoos.
What should I do after the treatment?
An antibacterial ointment and dressing will be applied to the treated area, which should be kept clean. A shower can be taken the next day, but the treated area should not be scrubbed.
You’ll notice a gradual lightening of your tattoo after each session as your body clears more pigment fragments. Results range from complete disappearance to partial fading after the first few treatments. Traumatic and amateur tattoos typically respond best, while larger, professionally done tattoos may require multiple sessions for optimal results. Occasionally, mild loss of pigmentation or whitening of the skin may occur, but normal skin tone usually returns within 6–12 months after the final session. Our experienced dermatologist in Singapore will guide you through the process to ensure safe and effective tattoo removal.
How Often Do I Need To Repeat This Treatment?
The tattoo removal may take a number of sessions depending on the type of ink and depth of the tattoo. On average, professional tattoos require 8-12 treatments, while amateur tattoos require 3-5 treatments. Treatments are all spaced approximately 6-10 weeks apart, to allow your body to remove the maximum amount of tattoo pigment.
