How the treatment works
The Q-switched laser targets ink particles with ultra-short pulses, fragmenting them without burning surrounding tissue. Your immune system then clears the fragments over the following weeks, which is why sessions are spaced rather than rushed.
Removal time depends on ink colour, density, depth, age of the tattoo and its location on the body. A realistic estimate is given at consultation rather than a sales promise.
What to expect at The Happy Skin Tales
Your first visit is a consultation, not a procedure. Dr. Suparna Das examines the concern, takes a history, and explains what is realistically achievable. Only then is a plan agreed, with the number of sessions and the cost confirmed before anything begins.
Every procedure is performed or directly supervised by the dermatologist. Aftercare instructions are written down, and a follow-up review is built into the plan rather than sold separately.
Frequently asked questions
Many tattoos fade to near-invisibility, though some inks and colours resist fully. Black ink responds best. We will give you an honest assessment of the likely endpoint before you begin.
Scarring is uncommon when the procedure is performed correctly and aftercare is followed. Risk rises significantly with untrained operators and over-aggressive settings.
More uncomfortable than getting the tattoo for most people, but each pass is brief. Numbing cream and cooling make sessions manageable.
Your body clears the fragmented ink gradually through the lymphatic system. Rushing sessions does not speed clearance and increases the risk of skin damage.
