Laser Tattoo Removal in Seoul
Bailor Clinic — Faster Fading, Cleaner Skin, Doctor-Led Safety
At Bailor Clinic, tattoo removal plans are doctor-designed using pico-second and Q-switched lasers to target ink at multiple depths and colors. From small symbols to sleeve revisions, we map your tattoo, skin type, and goals to deliver precise fading with predictable healing.
What We Treat
- Professional tattoos (black, gray, multi-color)
- Amateur/hand-poke tattoos (often fewer sessions)
- Cosmetic/eyebrow/eyeliner tattoos (safety-prioritized protocols)
- Cover-up preparation (controlled lightening)
- Partial removal & fine-tuning of lines or sections
- Residual “ghosting” from prior treatments
How Laser Tattoo Removal Works
- Selective photothermolysis: Laser energy shatters ink particles into micro-fragments.
- Your body’s lymphatic system gradually clears fragments between sessions.
- Pico + Q-switch synergy: Pico handles stubborn and multi-color inks; Q-switch supports deep black and dense lines.
- Wavelength mix (example ranges):
- ~1064 nm: deep black/blue, darker skin types
- ~532 nm: red/orange/yellow accents
- Optional specialty wavelengths for teal/green/purple when indicated
Your Treatment Journey
1) Consultation & Patch Test
Ink type, age, depth, placement, and skin tone assessed. We set a session estimate and perform a test spot if needed.
2) Comfort Options
Topical anesthetic, cool air, or lidocaine (area-dependent). PFD patches may be offered to reduce frosting and allow multiple passes safely.
3) Laser Session
Rapid pulses across the tattoo with energy titrated per zone (linework vs shading). Immediate whitening (“frosting”) is expected and subsides.
4) Cooling & Dressing
Post-laser cooling, protective ointment, and a breathable dressing.
Session time: a few minutes for tiny symbols; 15–40 minutes for larger pieces.
Sessions, Timeline & Expectations
- Interval: Typically 6–10 weeks between sessions (area and skin-type dependent).
- Session count:
- Amateur/small black: ~2–6
- Professional black/gray: ~6–10+
- Multi-color/cover-ups or heavy saturation: may require additional sessions
- Fading curve: Most see visible lightening after 1–2 sessions, with progressive clearance thereafter.
- Outcomes: From soft fade for cover-up to near-complete removal—we’ll align on goals during consult.
Safety & Skin-Tone Conscious Protocols
- Settings adjusted for Fitzpatrick I–VI to minimize PIH (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation).
- Conservative energy on areas with thin skin (wrists, ankles, fingers) and cosmetic tattoo zones.
- Eyebrow/liner cases use eye protection shields and specialized parameters.
Aftercare (First 7–14 Days)
- Keep area clean, dry, and protected for the first 24–48 hours.
- Apply prescribed ointment; switch to light moisturizer after epithelialization.
- No picking of scabs or blisters; let them resolve naturally.
- Avoid sun, pools/saunas, vigorous friction, and tight gear on the site.
- From day 3–4, gentle cleansing is fine; SPF 50+ once intact.
- Report unusual pain, spreading redness, or fever.
Common, Temporary Effects
- Redness, swelling, frosting, pinpoint bleeding
- Itchiness/tightness as healing progresses
- Occasional mild blistering (managed with dressing and ointment)
Potential risks (rare): PIH/POH, textural change, or residual pigment—mitigated with proper intervals, sun protection, and calibrated energy.
Special Cases
- Cosmetic tattoos (brows/lips/liner): Pigment may darken transiently; staged tests and conservative settings used.
- Very colorful inks (turquoise/green/purple): May need wavelength alternation and more sessions.
- Cover-up prep: We target strategic fading (logo edges, dense fills) to unlock better artistry.
Combination Options
- PFD Patch + Multi-Pass: Faster clearance, gentler healing
- Fractional resurfacing (timed): Texture polish after clearance
- Topical pigment care: Supports even tone during the series
- Scar revision plan: For old tattoo scars unrelated to laser
(Combinations are timed to avoid interference with ink clearance.)
