Getting inked is tough but getting rid of a tattoo can be more painful, laborious, and expensive since laser technology is the best option and the only clinically-proven method.

But before you get your tattoo removed, here are some things you need to know:

Go to a professional

The safest way to get your ink removed is to have it done by a dermatologist.

Get yourself an assessment before you decide on finally removing your ink.

Not all tattoos are the same

Black tattoos are the easiest to remove, while other colors might require a different kind of laser.

Older tattoos are also easier to remove as your body will absorb some of the tattoo's pigment over the years.

It will take multiple sessions to have your tattoo completely removed

Tattoo size, age, color, location, your skin type, skin color and pain threshold are considerations when removing a tattoo.

Consult your dermatologist on how many visits it will take and what to expect after every treatment, as some can experience discomfort afterwards.

It can be quite expensive, but worth it

Since it will take multiple sessions, the pricing also depends on the size and color of the tattoo (different lasers for different colors).

It may cost you a significant amount to have it removed but it will be worth it, since you will get peace of mind that you will no longer see that unwanted tattoo anymore.

Here are our recommendations to where you can have your tattoo removed:

Tattclear by Medico Global Clinic

Tattclear is the flagship tattoo removal center of Medico Global Clinic located in Taguig City.

They use the latest technology in tattoo removal which is the Q-switched Nd:Yag laser.

It is highly effective in removing a wide range of colored ink with only minimal side effects, plus it is FDA-approved to appease your safety concerns.

Shinagawa Lasik & Aesthetics

Shinagawa Lasik & Aesthetics, which has a branch in Makati and in Ortigas, offers a wide range of services, that include laser tattoo removal.

Their treatment can remove all kinds of tattoo including cosmetic tattoos like lip liner, eyeliner, and eyebrows.

Aramesh Wellness

Aramesh Wellness in Makati, known for its ancient Persian techniques for pampering, also offers laser tattoo removal.

Their treatment can work on black tattoo, colored tattos, and eyebrow tattoo.

Belo Medical Group

Belo Medical Group offers two laser technologies to remove your tattoo: the Revlite laser and the PicoSure laser.

Revlite laser can remove your tattoo but can also help stimulate new collagen production, thus making your skin look plumper.

On the other hand, PicoSure laser uses a shorter pulse of energy than other lasers, which makes it a safer, faster and more effective way to remove tattoos.
