Which type of laser is best for tattoo removal?

Doctor's Answer

Laser tattoo removal in Singapore is a diverse market.

Having worked in several clinics, I have found that different types and brands of lasers have varying levels of effectiveness in removing Tattoo Ink.

Tattoo removal works on the concept of delivering large amounts of energy to shatter tattoo pigments which are then absorbed by your body’s immune system.

Based on research studies, a Pico Laser or Picosecond Laser is the latest and most effective Laser Technology for Tattoo Removal.

This supercedes older technology known as “Q-switched Lasers”, which are also used for Pigment/Tattoo removal.

Picosecond Laser is a technology, but the brand actually determines its quality. Ask your doctor specifically for the brand of the machine and do your due diligence.

I use Lutronic’s PicoPlus Pico Laser for tattoo removal but I’m sure there are other reliable brands as well.

Hope this helps!

Warmest regards,
