Definition
Precision Tattoo Removal
for Pigment Embedded in the Skin

Tattoos are created by depositing ink pigment in the dermis, and removal difficulty varies according to color, particle size, injection depth, and tattooing technique.
Black tattoos generally respond relatively well to laser treatment, while red, green, blue, and other colors absorb different wavelengths and require a more specialized approach.

For cover-up or blackout tattoos with multiple layers of pigment, or when scarring is already present from tattooing, both pigment removal and existing skin damage must be considered.

Trinity Dermatology Clinic assesses the tattoo's color, depth, size, age, and the condition of the skin before selecting an appropriate wavelength and energy for gradual removal.

Cases
Treatment difficulty varies according to
the tattoo's characteristics.

Color and depth are assessed together with existing scars and skin type
to determine the treatment approach.

  • The tattoo contains a mixture of black, red, blue, green, or other colors
  • A persistent traumatic tattoo remains after an injury
  • Multiple layers of pigment are present in a cover-up or blackout tattoo
  • Minimizing the risk of scarring is a priority during tattoo removal
Pigment Types
Pigment & Skin Factors
to Assess Before Tattoo Removal

Even tattoos of the same size may require different methods and numbers of sessions
depending on color, application technique, and skin response.

TYPE 01 Black & Gray Tattoos

Black and gray inks generally respond well to specific wavelengths, but multiple sessions may be needed depending on depth and density.

TYPE 02 Color Tattoos

Each color absorbs energy differently, so wavelengths must be selected for red, green, blue, and other inks.

TYPE 03 Cover-Up & Blackout Tattoos

Repeated ink application over an existing tattoo creates high pigment density and uneven depth, requiring gradual removal.

TYPE 04 Tattoo Scarring

Assessment must consider not only the ink pigment but also tissue damage and the type of scarring caused during tattooing.

Detailed Analysis
Detailed analysis
helps reduce skin damage.

Effective tattoo removal depends less on simply applying high energy and more on matching the wavelength and energy precisely to the ink particles.
Repeated use of high energy without considering pigment density or depth may result in blistering, inflammation, hypopigmentation, hyperpigmentation, or scarring.

Trinity Dermatology Clinic evaluates the tattoo's color and borders, skin thickness, and existing scars to plan treatment that targets ink particles while minimizing unnecessary stress on the skin.

Treatment Approach
Wavelength & Energy Selection
Tailored to Tattoo Ink

Short, high-energy pulses fragment ink particles into smaller pieces,
while the treatment area and intervals are adjusted to the skin condition.

SCAR MINIMIZATION Prioritizing the Reduction of Scarring Risk

Tattoo removal requires selective targeting of tattoo ink while preserving the skin's natural melanin as much as possible, making precise laser control by the practitioner essential.

PHOTOACOUSTIC Fine Fragmentation of Tattoo Ink

Ultrashort picosecond pulses break ink into fine particles, supporting their gradual clearance through the body's natural processes.

Gradual Tattoo Removal
with Skin Protection in Mind

Rather than focusing only on rapid pigment removal,
we also manage post-treatment recovery and the risk of scarring.

Detailed Tattoo Assessment

Color, depth, size, ink density, and existing scars are assessed to determine treatment complexity.

Customized Wavelength & Energy

Wavelengths for each color and energy suited to the skin are selected to break down ink particles gradually.

Recovery & Scar-Risk Management

Blistering and inflammatory responses are monitored, with sufficient treatment intervals and recovery care provided.

Treatment Point
Key Considerations
in Tattoo Removal
POINT
01
Faint residual pigment should not be treated
with the same energy settings.

As treatment progresses, the tattoo's intensity and distribution become less uniform.
Laser spot size and energy must be adjusted precisely to the remaining pigment density and the skin's response.

Careful identification of residual pigment becomes increasingly important in later treatment stages.

POINT
02
Adequate recovery time helps
reduce the risk of scarring.

After laser treatment, time is needed for fragmented pigment to clear and for the tissue to recover.
Repeating treatment at excessively short intervals may lead to accumulated irritation and inflammation.

At Trinity, the timing of the next session is determined after assessing the skin's recovery.
