Sound familiar?

The tattoo outlasted the reason

A name, a phase, a memory

What made sense then doesn’t represent you now.

Cover-ups have limits

Bigger, darker cover-up tattoos aren’t always the fix you want.

Worried about scarring

Cheap removal attempts burn and scar — proper Q-switched lasers are designed not to.

If this sounds familiar, it isn’t a failure of effort. Most skin, hair and body concerns are medical — and they respond to the right medical treatment.
About the treatment

What it is, honestly

Ultra-short pulses shatter ink into fragments your body clears — across colours and Indian skin tones, with fewer sessions than older lasers.

Every tattoo gets an honest session estimate up front, based on ink, depth and colours.

Your journey

What to expect

01

Consult & protocol

Your skin is examined and a protocol chosen — depth and downtime tuned to your calendar.

02

The session

Cooling, numbing where needed, precise passes; most sessions finish within the hour.

03

Your body clears the ink

Shattered ink particles are cleared naturally between sessions — the tattoo fades progressively across the course.

The technology

How Fotona Q-Switched Laser works

Laser tattoo removal on Fotona's Q-switched Nd:YAG delivers ultra-short, high-power pulses that shatter tattoo ink into fragments small enough for the body to clear — fading tattoos across a course of sessions.

The Fotona StarWalker MaQX — named Best New Technology at THE Aesthetic Industry Awards 2017 and FDA-cleared the same year — delivers up to 10 J MaQX pulses with ASP (Adaptive Structured Pulse) technology.

Q-switched pulses

Nanosecond pulses create a photoacoustic effect that fractures ink particles.

Multiple wavelengths

Different ink colours are targeted with the appropriate wavelength for effective clearance.

Body clears the ink

Fragmented pigment is gradually removed by the immune system between sessions.

Staged fading

Tattoos fade progressively; total sessions depend on ink, depth and colour.

The science

The science behind Laser Tattoo Removal

01

Photoacoustic shattering

Ultra-short, high-energy MaQX pulses shatter ink into clearable fragments — without cutting or burning.

02

A wavelength per colour

Different wavelengths target different ink colours safely.

03

Immune clearance

Your body removes the fragments between sessions — the fade is biological, and permanent.

What you can expect

Results, honestly timed

01

Sessions 1–2

Visible lightening as ink begins to clear.

02

Mid-course

Progressive, uneven-then-even fading — normal and expected.

03

End of course

Maximum realistic clearance for your ink — assessed honestly throughout.

Timelines are typical, not promised — your skin, your plan and your review schedule decide the pace. We track progress with photographs at every stage.

Why ours is different

Fotona StarWalker MaQX — not the usual machine

What it is

Named Best New Technology 2017 at THE Aesthetic Industry Awards and FDA-cleared — up to 10 J MaQX pulses with ASP technology, in a class most Q-switched machines can’t touch.

Why it matters to you

More energy per pulse means fewer sessions and cleaner results — delivered under doctor-set parameters.

Doctor-set, always

Parameters are personalised at every session — the same machine in different hands gives different results. Ours are the doctor’s.

Before & after your session

Simple prep, simple care

Before your session

Come with clean skin — no makeup, retinoids paused as advised.
Avoid heavy sun exposure for a week prior.
Tell us about new medicines, peels or treatments elsewhere.

After your session

Expect mild warmth or pinkness for a few hours — it settles on its own.
Sunscreen is non-negotiable; we’ll give you the exact routine.
Follow the simple aftercare card — and message us anytime, we actually reply.

Good to know

Questions, answered

How many sessions will my tattoo need?

Amateur black ink may clear in 4–6; dense professional colour work can take 8–12 — you’ll get a realistic range at consult.

Will it scar?

With proper settings and aftercare, scarring risk is very low; we prioritise skin integrity over speed.

How many sessions will my tattoo need?

Depends on ink depth, colour and age — we’ll give you a realistic range at consult, not a sales number.

Will it scar?

Q-switched removal done properly fades ink without cutting or burning the skin.

Who performs the treatment?

Every plan is set by Dr. Sarat Anandh, MD DVL, and procedures are performed under his direct supervision — never handed off to a counter.

How do I know the price?

Message us on WhatsApp and we’ll share your exact, itemised quote in a moment. Session packages are available for many treatments.

Is it safe for Indian skin?

Yes. Parameters are chosen specifically for melanin-rich skin — that’s the doctor’s job, and it matters more than any machine name.

Can I combine it with other treatments?

Often — many concerns respond best to a planned combination. We suggest one only when it genuinely adds benefit.

What if this isn’t suitable for me?

We’ll tell you honestly at the consult and point you to what will actually help — even if it’s simpler and cheaper.

Details, suitability and pricing are confirmed at consultation with Dr. Sarat Anandh, MD DVL. Individual results vary.

Investment
