Sinsa Station Dermatology Recommendation: What Is the Trendy-but-Outdated Semi-Permanent Makeup & Tattoo Removal Method?

Hello. This is Im Euisuk Theme Dermatology Clinic.

These days, the number of people visiting our dermatology clinic for semi-permanent makeup or tattoo removal has increased significantly compared with the past.

Some people get tattoos because they are swept up in the trends of the time, and others carefully decide to use them as a way to express their beliefs, thoughts, or tastes, but later, for various reasons, hope to have them removed as time passes.

Semi-permanent makeup demand is also steadily increasing, and as trends change, people may no longer like the shape, or as the pigment changes over time, reddish, blue, or gray residue can remain, so demand for removal is also increasing.

Sinsa Station Dermatology: How can outdated semi-permanent makeup and tattoo remnants be removed?

Q. How is tattoo removal performed?

A tattoo is an artificial injection of pigment into the skin, so the removal procedure is performed in a way similar to treating dermal melasma that appears on the face. Using laser light with wavelengths that selectively act on melanin pigment, the laser is concentrated only on the tattoo pigment to break down the pigment particles so that they are naturally excreted from the body. Because the pigment must be precisely targeted while minimizing damage to the surrounding normal tissue, delicate technique is required.

Q. The tattoo area is large. Is removal still possible?

A. Tattoo removal requires delicate treatment depending on the area to be removed, the type and depth of the dye, and the skin tone and condition. Therefore, if removal is performed, it is important to receive treatment from an experienced dermatologist who can respond to the various variables that may arise.

Q. Why is tattoo removal difficult??

A. Tattoos are not drawn on the surface of the skin; they are an invasive method that injects dye into the skin, so the pigment penetrates deeply, making the removal process difficult. In particular, lighter pigments may not respond well to lasers, so in some cases many treatment sessions may be needed. Also, in the process of removing pigment, it is most important not to damage the surrounding normal tissue.

Q. I don’t like my eyebrow tattoo and want to remove it. How many visits will I need?

A. Semi-permanent eyebrow tattoo removal usually gives satisfactory results in about one session, but there are also cases where it takes a long time to remove, so the removal procedure is carried out after充分 considering each individual's skin condition.

Q. When visiting a dermatology clinic, what kind of laser treatment is usually performed?

In general, picosecond laser treatment is performed. This is a tattoo removal device capable of laser irradiation that is 1,000 times faster than conventional lasers. Using lasers in the 532nm, 595nm, 660nm, and 1064nm wavelength ranges, it breaks down the pigment particles in the skin into smaller pieces, and the fragmented particles are excreted through the lymphatic vessels.

It delivers high energy in an instant, transferring energy over a shorter time than conventional procedures. It destroys only the pigment particles more quickly and precisely without damaging the surrounding skin, reducing the risk of side effects such as scarring.

That concludes the answers to the questions from people who visit Im Euisuk Theme Dermatology Clinic for tattoo removal.

If tattoo removal is performed at an unverified non-medical institution, the risk of problems such as scarring, dermatitis, and skin disease increases due to hygiene management issues.

Therefore, receiving hygienic treatment from an experienced specialist at a verified medical institution can help prevent infection and various side effects!

Thank you.
