Safe and Gradual Tattoo Removal
Clear Your Skin, One Session at a Time
Whether it’s a tattoo you’ve outgrown, one that has faded unevenly over the years, or simply no longer feels like “you,” it’s okay to change your mind. At Dr Joyce Lim Skin & Laser Clinic, we offer safe, non-invasive tattoo removal that helps fade unwanted ink gently over time, without damaging your surrounding skin.
No judgment, no pressure, just a supportive space to begin your skin-clearing journey with care.
Why People Choose Tattoo Removal
There are many reasons someone may want to remove or lighten a tattoo. Some of the more common ones include:
- A shift in personal taste or identity
- Career-related preferences
- Unwanted reminders of past relationships or experiences
- A desire to fade a tattoo for a cover-up
Whatever your reason, you deserve to feel comfortable in your own skin.
How It Works
This treatment uses light energy to break down tattoo pigments beneath the surface of the skin. Over time, the body naturally clears away the fragmented ink particles. Because different colours respond differently to treatment, black and dark blue inks often fade more quickly, while lighter colours may take more sessions.
The process is gradual, designed to allow the skin to heal fully between sessions.
What to Expect During Treatment
Each session typically takes 15–30 minutes depending on the size, location, and age of the tattoo. A numbing cream may be applied beforehand to minimise discomfort. You may feel a snapping or stinging sensation during the procedure, similar to a rubber band flicking against the skin.
Afterwards, the area may appear red, slightly swollen, or develop light scabbing as it heals. It’s important to care for the skin properly between sessions.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
Tattoo removal is rarely a one-time treatment. Most tattoos require a series of sessions spaced several weeks apart. Factors such as tattoo age, ink colour, depth, and skin tone all play a role in how the tattoo fades.
Dr Joyce Lim will assess your tattoo and advise on a suitable treatment plan tailored to your goals and expectations.
Caring for Your Skin Post-Treatment
Following each session, it’s important to keep the area clean, avoid picking or rubbing, and protect it from sun exposure. A soothing ointment and dressing may be applied if needed. Dr Lim will guide you on proper aftercare to support healing and minimise the risk of irritation or scarring.
