Tattoo removal with laser

Tattoo removal with laser

During laser tattoo removal, unwanted colour pigments are broken down using high-energy laser beams from an ultra-short pulsed laser without damaging the surrounding tissue. The pigment particles are then removed via the lymphatic system and the surface of the skin.

State-of-the-art laser technology

We are one of the few providers in Switzerland to offer the revolutionary PICO GenesisTM Enlighten III high-end laser technology for tattoo removal and skin beautification. With this latest technology, tattoos can be removed effectively, gently and without scarring. The modern picosecond laser technology, which today represents the gold standard in tattoo removal, offers decisive advantages. This technology works with extremely short energy pulses in trillionths of a second (picoseconds) and enables photomechanical destruction of the pigments. Compared to conventional Q-Switch lasers (nanosecond lasers), this means fewer side effects, more precise fragmentation and promotion of collagen regeneration with minimised risk of scarring.

Treatment in several sessions

The tattoos are divided into 4 sizes: Small, Medium, Large and XL. The price is defined based on the size, the different colours and the amount of work involved and is communicated during the detailed consultation.

The complete and scar-free removal of a tattoo requires several treatments. Depending on the complexity of the design, around 5 to 10 sessions are required in standard cases and around 10 to 15 sessions for more complex tattoos. The exact number of treatments varies from person to person and depends on various factors such as the size of the tattoo, colour, colour intensity, pigment depth, anatomical location and the laser technology used.

An anaesthetic cream is applied before the treatment, which should be left on for at least 20-30 minutes.

Aftercare

Temporary redness, swelling, blisters and minor bleeding may occur after the treatment. It is important not to open the blisters and to avoid direct exposure to the sun for four weeks before and after the treatment and to use sun protection with a sun protection factor of 50+. For skin care, you can use a wound ointment such as Cicaplast Baume.

You can usually go about your daily activities immediately after treatment.

These prices are per session. Treatments are carried out every 8 weeks. No package prices are offered.
