What is laser Tattoo Removal?

Laser tattoo removal uses very short pulses of energy (Q-switched or picosecond lasers) to shatter ink particles in the skin into fragments small enough for the immune system to remove over the following weeks. Black and dark blue inks usually respond best, while green, light blue and yellow are harder to shift. The number of sessions depends on colours, depth, the age of the tattoo and your skin type.

How is laser Tattoo Removal done?

  1. Assessing the tattoo and skin type, with a test pulse
  2. Numbing cream and skin cooling if needed
  3. Laser treatment of the tattoo
  4. Dressing and aftercare advice
  5. A gap of 6–8 weeks between sessions

Who is laser Tattoo Removal suitable for?

  • People who regret a tattoo or want it faded before a cover-up
  • Removing permanent make-up on the brows or lips (the risk of colour change should be discussed first)
  • Not suitable on tanned skin or during pregnancy

Aftercare: what to watch out for

  • Redness, swelling, blistering and crusting in the first days are expected; do not pick the scabs.
  • Apply the ointment your doctor recommends and keep the area clean.
  • Protect the area from the sun throughout the course; tanned skin cannot be treated.

Possible side effects and risks

  • Pain, blistering and crusting
  • Lighter or darker skin patches, especially in darker skin types
  • Occasional scarring
  • Darkening of some cosmetic tattoo pigments
  • Incomplete removal of the ink

Are there alternatives?

Small tattoos can sometimes be surgically excised, though this leaves a scar. A cover-up tattoo over the existing design is another option.

What affects the cost of laser tattoo removal?

The cost of laser tattoo removal depends on factors such as size and colours of the tattoo; type of laser used; number of sessions; whether it is a professional or amateur tattoo, and is set by the doctor after an examination. Under Turkish rules on the advertising of health services, prices are not published on our site; you can ask the doctor directly when you request an appointment.

  • Size and colours of the tattoo
  • Type of laser used
  • Number of sessions
  • Whether it is a professional or amateur tattoo

Getting treatment in Turkey as a visitor

  • Ask the doctor for a written treatment plan, timeline and total cost before you travel.
  • Check whether the doctor or clinic staff speak English, or bring a translator for the consultation.
  • Plan enough time for check-ups after the procedure before your return flight.
  • Keep copies of your X-rays, reports and the materials used (for example the implant brand) for your dentist or doctor at home.
  • In an emergency in Turkey, call 112 (free, 24/7). For poisoning, the National Poison Information Centre is 114.

Frequently asked questions

How much does laser tattoo removal cost in Turkey?

The cost of laser tattoo removal depends on factors such as size and colours of the tattoo; type of laser used; number of sessions; whether it is a professional or amateur tattoo, and is set by the doctor after an examination. Under Turkish rules on the advertising of health services, prices are not published on our site; you can ask the doctor directly when you request an appointment.

Who is the best doctor for laser tattoo removal?

There is no single “best” doctor for everyone. The right doctor for you is experienced in laser tattoo removal, easy to reach, and explains the options clearly. Check whether the doctor lists this treatment on their profile, their specialty (dermatologist), the overall picture of patient reviews and the clinic’s location, and ask for a clear written treatment plan, timeline and cost at the first consultation. For major treatments you have the right to a second opinion. “En İyi Hekim” (Turkish for “best doctor”) is our brand name: we do not rank doctors as “best” and rankings cannot be bought.

How do I find a dermatologist for laser tattoo removal?

On each profile you can see reviews, the clinic address and available times, and send a free appointment request through our site.

How long does laser tattoo removal take?

10–30 minutes depending on the size of the tattoo. Number of visits: Usually 5–10 sessions, sometimes more.

Can a tattoo be removed completely?

Many tattoos fade significantly or disappear, but some colours and deep tattoos may leave a shadow or mark. It is hard to predict the exact number of sessions in advance.

Is removal more painful than getting the tattoo?

It varies; each pulse feels like a rubber band snapping on the skin. Numbing cream and cooling make it more comfortable.

Who should perform laser tattoo removal?

Medical lasers should be used under a doctor’s responsibility in a licensed facility, as incorrect settings can burn or scar the skin.
