Laser Tattoo Removal in Myeongdong, Seoul
Pico laser treatment that breaks tattoo ink into tiny particles your body clears over a course of sessions, with clear pricing and English-speaking staff.
What is laser tattoo removal? Laser tattoo removal uses very short laser pulses, such as from a Pico or Q-switched Nd:YAG laser, to shatter ink particles in the skin. Over several sessions the body naturally clears the fragments and the tattoo gradually fades. Most tattoos need multiple sessions, often 4–10 or more, depending on ink depth, colour and skin type. At Kleam Clinic Myeongdong, Pico tattoo removal starts from ₩119,000.
How laser tattoo removal works
Tattoo ink sits in the dermis as particles too large for the body to remove on its own. A Pico laser delivers energy in pulses lasting trillionths of a second, breaking the ink into much smaller fragments. The immune system then carries these fragments away over the following weeks, so the tattoo fades gradually between sessions.
Black and single-colour ink usually responds best; coloured ink, eyebrow and eyeliner tattoos can need more sessions and different settings. Sessions are spaced several weeks apart to let the skin recover and the body clear ink. Your doctor will review the size, colours and depth of your tattoo and give you a written quote before you start.
