Removing an unwanted tattoo is now more effective and safer than ever. At City Dermatology Clinic Dubai, we provide advanced laser tattoo removal treatments tailored to your skin type, tattoo size, and pigment depth. Whether you’re looking to erase a past decision or fade a tattoo for a new design, our experienced team ensures minimal discomfort, reduced recovery time, and visible results. Backed by medical expertise and modern laser technology, we help patients achieve clear, confident skin again.
Laser tattoo removal works by delivering short, concentrated pulses of light energy into the skin. These pulses are absorbed by the tattoo ink particles, breaking them down into smaller fragments. Once shattered, these fragments are naturally cleared away by the body’s immune system over time.
Each session targets the ink without damaging the surrounding skin. The number of sessions required depends on the tattoo’s age, size, ink colour, and depth. Darker colours like black and blue typically respond faster, while brighter shades may take longer to fade.
This process is safe, non-invasive, and highly effective when performed by trained professionals using medical-grade laser systems. Gradually, the tattoo fades with each treatment, leaving clearer skin behind.
Laser tattoo removal works by targeting the tattoo ink beneath your skin with short, high-intensity pulses of light. The energy from the laser breaks the ink particles into tiny fragments, which are then naturally eliminated by your body’s immune system over time.
Each session progressively fades the tattoo, with most patients requiring multiple treatments depending on factors such as ink colour, depth, and the age of the tattoo. The technology used is highly precise, allowing for effective removal with minimal damage to the surrounding skin.
At City Dermatology Clinic Dubai, we use advanced medical-grade lasers that are approved for safe and effective use in the UAE. Our specialists adjust the settings to suit your skin tone and tattoo type, ensuring maximum results with as little discomfort as possible.
Proper preparation plays a key role in achieving the best results from laser tattoo removal. Here’s what to do before your appointment.
Keep the area protected from sun exposure for at least two weeks before your session. Tanned or sunburned skin can increase the risk of complications and may affect the laser’s ability to target the ink effectively.
Discontinue the use of products that contain retinoids, acids, or other active ingredients on the treatment area a few days before your appointment, as these may increase skin sensitivity.
A strong immune system supports faster recovery and helps your body clear the fragmented ink more efficiently.
If the tattoo is located in an area with hair, gently shave it 24–48 hours before your session. Avoid waxing or hair removal creams, as they may irritate the skin.
Arrive at your appointment with clean, dry skin. Refrain from using any cosmetic products on the tattooed area on the day of your treatment.
While recovery is usually quick, some redness, swelling, or mild discomfort can occur. Wearing loose clothing over the area and avoiding exercise immediately after treatment can help ease any irritation.
| Stage | What Happens |
|---|---|
| Consultation | Your specialist will assess the tattoo’s size, colour, location, skin type, and medical history. You’ll be advised on how many sessions may be required and what results to expect. |
| Pre-Treatment Prep | The area will be cleansed, and protective eyewear will be provided. A numbing cream may be applied depending on the size and location of the tattoo. |
| Laser Session | The laser is applied directly over the tattoo, breaking down the ink particles without harming surrounding skin. The sensation is often described as similar to the snap of an elastic band. |
| Immediate Aftercare | After treatment, the area may feel warm or look red and swollen. A soothing cream and a sterile dressing will be applied. You’ll be given instructions on how to care for the skin. |
| Healing & Results | Mild scabbing or blistering can occur and typically resolves in a few days. The tattoo will gradually fade over a series of treatments, spaced 6–8 weeks apart to allow healing. |
| Follow-up Sessions | Multiple sessions are needed depending on the depth, colour, and age of the tattoo. You’ll return for scheduled treatments to continue the fading process safely. |
