Laser Tattoo Removal
Ready to Move On From Your Tattoo? We Can Help.
Fade or fully remove unwanted tattoos with advanced laser technology suited to Indian skin, under the care of an MD Dermatologist.
Tattoos Are Long-Lasting. Regret Doesn't Have to Be.
People get tattoos for many reasons: culture, memories, a name, or simply a design they loved at the time. But life changes, and many people later regret a tattoo. Maybe it's a name you no longer want, a design that has faded, or a tattoo that affects a job, a wedding or a fresh start.
The good news is that tattoos aren't as permanent as they seem. Laser tattoo removal can safely fade or remove unwanted ink, with minimal side effects when an experienced team does it.
How Does Laser Tattoo Removal Work?
Tattoo ink sits in the deeper layer of the skin (the dermis). That's why it doesn't wash or wear away. A medical laser sends very short, high-energy pulses of light that pass through the top layer of skin and shatter the ink into tiny particles. Over the following weeks, your body's immune system clears these particles naturally, and the tattoo fades with each session.
At La Densitae Lucknow, we use a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser. It's well suited to darker Indian skin tones because it lowers the risk of permanent changes to your natural skin colour. Multi-coloured tattoos may need different wavelengths to target each colour.
| Ink Colour | Response to Laser |
|---|---|
| ⚫ Black / Dark Blue | Responds best and clears fastest |
| 🔴 Red / Orange | Responds well with the right wavelength |
| 🟢 Green / Light Blue | Harder to clear, needs more sessions |
| 🟡 Yellow / White / Skin Tones | The most difficult. May only fade, not clear fully. |

What Happens During a Tattoo Removal Session?
Tattoo & Skin Assessment
The dermatologist checks the tattoo's size, colours, depth and your skin type, and estimates the number of sessions
Patch Test
A small test spot checks how your skin responds (if advised)
Numbing
Numbing cream is applied. Local anaesthetic is used only if needed.
Laser Treatment
Short laser pulses break up the ink. Small tattoos take just a few minutes.
Cooling & Dressing
The area is cooled and a soothing ointment and dressing are applied
Aftercare & Next Session
You go home the same day. The next session is booked for 6-8 weeks later.
Sessions & Results
Sessions: Usually 5-10 sessions, spaced 6-8 weeks apart. Small, black or amateur tattoos may need fewer. Large, multi-coloured or professional tattoos may need more.
The tattoo turns whitish (frosting), with redness and swelling
The skin heals. Mild scabbing or blistering is possible.
The ink fades as the body clears it. Time for the next session.
The tattoo is significantly faded or fully removed
Disclaimer: Results vary from person to person. Some colours may fade but not disappear completely.
Aftercare Instructions
Keep the area clean and dry. Wash it gently with mild soap and water and pat it dry. Don't rub.
Apply the prescribed ointment as advised, usually for the first few days
Don't pick or burst blisters or scabs. Let them heal on their own.
