Laser tattoo removal is an increasingly popular solution for those looking to erase unwanted ink due to changing personal preferences, career goals, or simply outgrowing a design.
Tattoo ink sits deep in the dermis and is too large for the body to eliminate naturally. This is where lasers come in—targeting ink pigments with precision, breaking them into smaller fragments that the immune system can gradually remove. This method minimises damage to surrounding skin and reduces scarring, making it more effective than surgery or topical creams.
Most people see faster results with fewer sessions, even for tattoos resistant to other tattoo removal methods.
If you’re considering laser tattoo removal in Singapore, be sure to choose a reputable provider with proper equipment and expertise.
V Aesthetics Medical Clinic uses a medical-grade laser that concentrates light energy at specific wavelengths to be absorbed by the tattoo ink. This technology is safe and effective and has been carefully selected to address black-inked tattoos across various skin types to ensure the best possible outcomes with minimal risk of adverse effects.
During your initial consultation, our experienced medical professionals will assess your tattoo and skin to determine the most suitable laser technology for your specific needs.
Pico Laser is a non-invasive procedure that delivers ultra-short pulses of laser energy in picoseconds. These precise laser pulses shatter targeted pigment particles in the body, which can then be naturally eliminated by your body’s natural immune system. The ultra-short pulses also minimise heat damage to the surrounding skin, leading to less discomfort and a reduced risk of hyperpigmentation, making it a suitable option for a wider range of skin tones.
This picosecond technology results in faster and more efficient clearance of stubborn tattoos, including on darker skin tones, compared to tattoo removals with traditional Q-switched lasers.
Q-Switched Pigment Laser is a well-established and highly effective technology for laser tattoo removal. It delivers powerful bursts of energy in nanoseconds, effectively breaking down tattoo ink pigments for removal through our body’s natural waste removal systems.
V Aesthetics Medical Clinic utilises Q-switched Nd:YAG lasers, which offer multiple wavelengths to target black-inked tattoos. The Q-switched laser is a versatile tool for tattoo removal, and our experienced medical professionals can customise the treatment parameters to optimise results based on your tattoo’s specific characteristics.
When a focused beam of laser light is directed onto the tattoo beneath the skin, the tattoo ink, acting as a pigment, absorbs this intense light energy. This absorption causes the large ink particles to rapidly heat up and fragment into significantly smaller particles and molecules.
These smaller fragments are then recognised by the body’s immune system as foreign substances. Specialised cells from the immune system, called macrophages, engulf these smaller ink particles and gradually metabolise and remove them from the body through the lymphatic system. This natural process of elimination is what causes the tattoo to gradually fade over multiple treatment sessions, similar to laser pigmentation removal.
Different laser wavelengths are used during the tattoo removal process. This enables the breakdown pigments from different skin tones, resulting in effective tattoo removal.
You may experience slight discomfort during the laser tattoo removal procedure. The sensation is often described as similar to the snap of a rubber band against the skin. To increase your comfort, our V Aesthetics Medical Clinic staff will first apply a topical numbing cream to the treatment area prior to the laser session.
Most individuals tolerate the laser procedure well, especially with the aid of the numbing cream and cooling methods used during the treatment.
The tattoo removal process depends on factors like skin tone, pigment depth, ink density, and tattoo colours.
During a laser tattoo removal session, you’ll feel quick, snapping sensations as the laser targets the ink. To maximise comfort, numbing cream and cooling methods (like chilled air) are used throughout the treatment.
Tattoos typically fade gradually over multiple sessions. While complete removal is possible, certain ink colours or deeply embedded pigments may be harder to eliminate. Amateur tattoos are often easier to remove than professional ones.
The number of sessions needed varies by tattoo size, age, skin type, and how your immune system clears ink. On average, tattoo removal takes 5–10 sessions, with smaller or older tattoos requiring fewer.
Laser tattoo removal is a suitable option for individuals with unwanted tattoos who are in good general health and do not have active skin infections in the treatment area.
Considerations need to be taken for individuals with darker skin tones, as there is a potential risk of pigmentation changes (hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation) following laser treatment. Our experienced medical professionals will assess your skin tone and choose the appropriate laser settings and wavelengths to minimise this risk.
Contraindications for laser tattoo removal include pregnancy and individuals with a history of keloid formation, who may have an increased risk of scarring. These individuals will be carefully evaluated, and laser tattoo removal may be approached with caution or alternative methods discussed.

Laser tattoo removal is generally considered to be a tolerable procedure. To minimise any discomfort, a topical numbing cream is applied to the treatment area prior to the laser session.
If you have concerns about pain, be sure to discuss this with our doctor before the procedure, and we can explore additional pain management options if needed.
The number of treatment sessions required for complete tattoo removal depends on several factors, including the tattoo size, the age of the tattoo, the location of the tattoo on the body, your skin type, and your individual immune response to breaking down and removing the ink particles.
Generally, most tattoos require a series of five to ten treatment sessions or more for significant fading or complete removal. These sessions are typically spaced four to six weeks apart to allow your body sufficient time to metabolise and eliminate the fragmented ink before the next laser treatment.
Our doctors will provide you with a more accurate estimate of the number of treatments you will likely need after a thorough examination of your tattoo during your initial consultation.
While laser tattoo removal is generally considered a safe procedure, some temporary side effects can occur. These are typically mild and resolve on their own within a few days to a week. Common side effects may include redness and temporary darkening or lightening of the treated skin (hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation). Rarer side effects, such as infection or keloid formation (especially in individuals prone to keloids), are possible but less common when the procedure is performed by experienced medical professionals following proper protocols.
Our V Medical Aesthetics Clinic doctors will discuss potential side effects with you before your treatment and provide detailed aftercare instructions to minimise any risks.
To prepare for your laser tattoo removal treatment at V Medical Aesthetics Clinic, we recommend that you avoid sun exposure to the treatment area for at least 1 to 2 weeks prior to your appointment. If sun exposure is unavoidable, be sure to use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a high SPF (30 or higher) to protect your skin. Additionally, you should avoid tanning beds or self-tanning products.
It is also advisable to avoid taking any medications that can thin your blood, such as aspirin or ibuprofen, or consuming any alcohol, for at least 24 hours before your treatment. This can help reduce the risk of bruising. Please inform our medical team of any medications you are currently taking or any relevant medical conditions during your consultation.
Proper aftercare is crucial for ensuring optimal healing and the best possible results after your laser tattoo removal treatment. Typically, you will be advised to:
Contact our clinic immediately if you experience any signs of infection, such as increased redness, swelling, pain, or pus.
