Laser Tattoo Removal in Bogotá: How Does It Work?

Looking to remove a black or colored tattoo in Bogotá? Dr. Claudia Toro explains how laser treatment works to break down ink pigments so the body can gradually eliminate them.

How are tattoos removed with a laser?

Laser tattoo removal uses specialized technology to break pigment particles into smaller fragments, making it easier for the body to gradually eliminate them. Dr. Claudia Toro uses ColorMax Premier technology, designed to treat different pigments with 1064 nm or 532 nm wavelengths, selected according to the ink colors and the characteristics of the tattoo.

The treatment is performed with numbing cream for the patient's comfort. Changes in some pigments may be visible from the first session, although the degree of removal depends on the color, the depth of the ink, the type of tattoo, and each person's skin response.

When used properly, laser technology helps reduce the risk of scarring, although it cannot be guaranteed that scarring will never occur. The number of sessions needed is determined based on each patient's evaluation.

How many sessions does it take to remove a tattoo?

A single session is generally not enough to remove a tattoo completely. The number of sessions depends on the color, depth, and amount of ink, as well as the age of the tattoo and each person's skin response.

A 3-month interval is needed between sessions to allow the skin to recover and the body to gradually eliminate the fragmented pigments.

Does laser tattoo removal hurt?

A topical numbing cream is applied to the tattoo area before the procedure so the patient does not feel anything. During the session, the treated area may temporarily look whitish or slightly raised, which usually subsides afterward.

Laser tattoo removal requires the right settings for each pigment and skin type. Although the treatment is designed to target the ink, side effects such as pigmentation changes, blisters, or scarring may occur.
