Tattoos respond to different laser wavelengths depending on ink color, depth of placement, and application method. Signature Dermatology Clinic is equipped with multi-wavelength pigment lasers and pico lasers, selecting the optimal wavelength for each color—including black, blue, and red—to achieve clear removal without scarring.

WHY SIGNATURE
Tattoo Removal at Signature Dermatology Clinic
Wavelength Selection by Color
Wavelengths are matched to the ink: 1064 nm for black and blue, 532 nm for red and orange, and ruby wavelengths for greens.
Fewer Sessions with Pico Lasers
Picosecond pulses shatter ink particles into ultra-fine fragments, enhancing clearance and reducing the required number of treatments.
Preventing Scarring and Hypopigmentation
We proceed step by step based on skin response rather than delivering excessive energy in a single session.

Pre & Post-Care Instructions
- Swelling, blistering, and scabbing may occur after treatment; do not pick at scabs to prevent scarring.

- Treatment outcomes and recovery times may vary by individual. Since all procedures can carry potential side effects, please consult thoroughly with a medical specialist before treatment.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Can semi-permanent eyebrow tattoos be removed?
Yes, it is possible. To prevent damage to the eyebrow hair, treatments are performed at lower energy settings over multiple sessions.
Can colored tattoos also be removed?
Because different ink colors require different laser wavelengths, colored tattoos may take longer to treat than black ones, but most can be significantly faded.
