How can I find the best doctors for tattoo removal in Singapore?

Doctor's Answer

I think its hard to decide who is the best. What is put in the internet is hard to verify especially if one is not in the medical trade. There are many factors involving tattoo removal like the type of colour, the depth, your risk of scarring, your skin texture and the presrcibed downtime you need.

I personally feel that claims on machine power and trend is not necessary one of the determining factors for tattoo removal. Many hot new lasers with claims come and they go. And yet the older doctors dont buy them.

It's not necessarily because they cant afford them. We have seen claims come and then go and white elephants sit in the clinic. The logic is the higher the power, the more the trauma so whatever power you use needs to match with your risk of scarring and the amount of trauma you can take.

I feel that scarring and skin texture is one of the prime factor to decide how much power to use for tattoo removal. I always feel that an adequate time for recovery of 3-4 months is more ideal than coming back too quickly. This allows your skin to heal and recover completely.

Hope that helps. Thanks.
