Techniques for Permanent Tattoo Removal Treatment

People get tattoos for many different reasons, sometimes for significant reasons or sometimes just purely aesthetic. But what happens if you no longer want them? Fortunately, permanent tattoo removal treatments have evolved dramatically, offering proper solutions for people wanting to say goodbye to their tattoos.

At Medical Village in Dubai, we provide cutting-edge laser tattoo removal using technologies such as PICOSURE, HELIOS IV, PICOWAY, and REVLITE, which provide accurate and safe outcomes for our patients. That said, we’ve highlighted some of the techniques for permanent tattoo removal and broken them down for you in this blog.

#1. Laser Tattoo Removal

Laser tattoo removal is the most common and successful way to permanently erase or remove tattoos. This process uses high-intensity laser beams to degrade ink particles in the skin, which are then naturally eliminated by the body’s immune system.

Laser Tattoo Removal Machines
At Medical Village, we use advanced lasers tailored to your skin type and tattoo characteristics. Some of our most advanced laser tattoo removal machines include:

PICOSURE: This laser uses ultra-short pulses to remove stubborn ink colors like green and blue while reducing skin discomfort.
PICOWAY: This laser is known for its accuracy and can treat tattoos of any hue, even darker skin tones.
REVLITE: This laser is a versatile laser that produces consistent results on black and dark tattoos.
HELIOS IV: This is a cutting-edge laser designed for precise tattoo removal, offering enhanced energy delivery to treat even the most intricate tattoos effectively.

Benefits of Laser Tattoo Removal

Non-invasive and safe.
Effective for multicolored and older tattoos.
Minimal risk of scarring on the skin.

Sessions Required
Depending on the size, color, and age of the tattoo, most patients will require 6-8 sessions spaced several weeks apart for the best results.

#2. Dermabrasion

Put simply, Dermabrasion is the physical removal of the top layers of the skin using specialized equipment to access and remove tattoo ink. While it may be helpful for smaller tattoos, this method is less accurate and more intrusive than laser removal.

Pros:

Suitable for smaller or minuscule tattoos.

Cons:

Scarring is more likely.
Longer healing times.
Not suitable for large or multicolored tattoos.

At Medical Village, we prefer laser treatments to dermabrasion because of their safety, precision, and effectiveness.

#3. Surgical Excision

Surgical excision entails removing the tattooed skin and sewing the region closed. This approach is primarily used for minor tattoos in regions where the skin's flexibility allows for a neat closure.

Pros:

Provides total tattoo removal in a single session.

Cons:

Leaves a scar.
Only suitable for smaller tattoos.

#4. Chemical Tattoo Removal

Chemical tattoo removal dissolves the tattoo pigment using acid-based solutions. Chemical removal, while less popular now, is more likely to cause skin damage and is less precise than laser treatments.
