Tattoo Removal in Bogotá

Want to remove a tattoo? At Benavides Aesthetic Medicine, we offer specialized treatments to achieve this. We use state-of-the-art equipment, such as Q-switched lasers and intense pulsed light (IPL), which work progressively to fragment the pigment and lighten the tattoo’s color until it is completely removed. IPL technology is especially effective on dark tattoos with a moderate pigment load, guaranteeing a safe and controlled process.

How is the number of sessions determined?

The number of sessions required for tattoo removal in Bogotá depends on several factors: skin phototype and biotype, the depth and age of the tattoo, and the pigment color. Paradoxically, dark colors like black and blue usually require fewer sessions, while lighter shades need more treatment time due to the way the laser acts on the pigment. The most effective equipment is the Q-Switched Nd:YAG and Ruby lasers, considered the gold standard for their safe and consistent results. On average, black and blue tattoos are removed in 2 to 4 sessions; brown and red in 3 to 5; green and light blue in 4 to 8 sessions with combination lasers; while yellow and pink are more difficult to treat, and white pigment cannot currently be removed.

What precautions should be taken during the procedure?

Before starting the procedure, it is advisable to keep the skin clean, moisturized, and free from intense sun exposure for at least two weeks prior. During the process, it is essential to use broad-spectrum sunscreen, avoid using irritating creams or products on the treated area, and refrain from using tanning beds. After each session, redness or mild swelling may appear, so it is recommended to apply cold compresses and regenerative creams as prescribed by the specialist. Do not scratch or pick at any scabs that may form to avoid scarring. Furthermore, it is advisable to avoid alcohol and tobacco, as they interfere with the healing process and pigment removal.
