Laser tattoo removal in the Maldives
Laser tattoo removal that gradually breaks down ink of any colour, safely and progressively, over a planned course of sessions.
How it works
High-energy laser pulses shatter tattoo ink particles into fragments small enough for the body’s own immune system to clear away gradually, fading the tattoo more with each session.
Areas we treat
Any tattooed area of the body; full removal or fading before a cover-up are both assessed at consultation based on ink colour, depth and age of the tattoo.
The session and aftercare
A few minutes to 30 minutes depending on tattoo size, with a cooling and aftercare protocol. Sessions are spaced 6-8 weeks apart to let the skin clear ink between rounds; most tattoos need multiple sessions.
Who it suits
- An unwanted tattoo you want faded or removed
- Planning a cover-up and need the base lightened first
- Understanding removal is a gradual, multi-session process

How many sessions does tattoo removal take?

Does laser tattoo removal hurt?
Sensation is often compared to a rubber band snap; a cooling protocol is used during treatment to keep it as comfortable as possible.
What is the downtime and aftercare?
Redness, swelling or light blistering can occur for a few days; keeping the area clean and protected, and out of direct sun, matters for healing.
Can all tattoo colours be removed?
Black and dark ink respond most readily; certain colours like green or light blue can be more resistant and may need more sessions or a different laser wavelength.
What are the risks of tattoo removal?
Temporary redness, blistering or pigment change are possible; permanent scarring or pigment loss is uncommon when performed correctly and aftercare is followed.
Can I get a tattoo removed before a cover-up?
Yes. A shorter course to fade and lighten the base ink is a common approach before a cover-up tattoo, discussed and planned at consultation.
