What can happen to the skin after treatment?

Pain, swelling, bruising, scabs and itching can occur. Temporary blisters may form and clear within several days. As with any tattoo removal laser, pigment changes and raised scars are possible.

Can eyebrow or eyeliner tattoos be treated?

Yes. Eyebrow and eyeliner (outer corner) tattoo removal are offered as 5-session courses.

Are black and color tattoos treated the same way?

Each size on the price list has separate black-ink and color-ink courses, because different ink colors respond to different wavelengths.

What are the advantages of pico tattoo removal?

Pico tattoo removal uses a picosecond laser with 1064 nm and 532 nm wavelengths, chosen according to ink color.

How does pricing vary by tattoo size?

The base price is set for a tattoo the size of a 500-won coin, and the price increases with the size of the tattoo. The cost per unit area is lower for larger tattoos.

Tattoo RemovalTreatment overview
Pico Laser uses a variety of wavelengths to treat and remove tattoos of different depths and colors.
It delivers energy in picosecond pulses, much shorter than those of conventional nanosecond lasers. It breaks up pigment selectively while limiting damage to surrounding skin, which lowers the risk of scarring after treatment.
