Procedure at a glance
How is tattoo removal performed in Gangnam?
Tattoo removal uses the PicoSure 755nm picosecond laser to break tattoo ink into fine particles and support their natural clearance. It takes about 20 minutes after topical anesthesia, and daily activities can usually be resumed right after.

About the procedure
Your removal plan depends on ink color and depth
Tattoo ink particles are too large for the body to clear on its own. PicoSure uses ultra-short pulses measured in trillionths of a second to vibrate and fragment ink particles, which are then cleared naturally over time.
Because very little heat is transferred, the approach helps limit damage to the surrounding skin. The number of sessions and the interval between them depend on ink color, tattoo size, and location, so your tattoo is assessed at consultation first.
