Berlin: How does tattoo removal work?
Each tattoo consists of individual color pigments that are applied to the skin in several layers during the tattooing process. These are so large that the body cannot break them down by itself. When removing tattoos, our experts in Berlin use a special laser that heats the color pigments in the skin. This causes them to break down into smaller particles, which are then collected and excreted by the body’s immune system.
The picosecond laser
At Aesthetify in Berlin, we use the latest generation of picosecond lasers for tattoo removal, which deliver significantly better results than older nanosecond lasers. This allows us to treat tattoos faster, more specifically and more gently.
The laser works with extremely short, high-energy light pulses in the trillionth of a second range. These pulses do not work via heat, but through a photomechanical effect: the color particles of the tattoo are broken down into tiny fragments, which are then gradually removed by the body’s own lymphatic system.
Thanks to the minimal exposure times, the surrounding tissue remains virtually untouched. This not only makes the treatment particularly gentle on the skin and low-risk, but also significantly reduces the likelihood of scars. Our patients in Berlin therefore benefit from safe, effective and aesthetically pleasing tattoo removal.
These tattoos are easy to remove
In principle, we can treat tattoos on all areas of the body. Most tattoos can be significantly lightened or largely removed.
- Small and hand-engraved tattoos usually respond particularly well to laser treatment.
- Larger or machine-engraved tattoos can also be treated – however, several sessions are usually required here.
- Color removal: Black, red and brown pigments are the easiest to remove as they absorb the laser light particularly well. However, difficult colors such as blue, green, violet or yellow can also be successfully treated with the modern picosecond laser.
Whether a tattoo disappears completely or is “only” greatly lightened always depends on individual factors, such as skin type, tattoo age and color composition. We would be happy to advise you personally in Berlin on your individual case for tattoo removal.
Tattoo removal - the procedure at Aesthetify in Berlin
- Consultation: Make an appointment for a consultation. Here we will examine the unwanted tattoo and the skin area in detail to give you an assessment of what is possible, how many sessions are required and discuss a transparent cost breakdown. We will answer all your questions and provide you with detailed information.
- Tattoo removal in Berlin: On the day of treatment in our practice, your tattoo will first be thoroughly disinfected and rubbed with a cooling gel. You will be given protective goggles so that your eyes are not damaged. Depending on the size of the tattoo, a session lasts between 10 and 30 minutes.
- After the treatment: Immediately afterwards, the area is cooled with cooling pads and a moisturizing cream is applied. Finally, the area is covered with a bandage.
The next session should be carried out six to eight weeks after the treatment.

Tattoo removal in Berlin: an overview
Preparation
Before tattoo removal in Berlin, we recommend removing hair from the area. No make-up or other cosmetics should be used. We also recommend avoiding direct sunbathing and visits to the solarium for around two weeks before and after removal.
Aftercare & healing
In most cases, the tattoo swells slightly after the laser treatment, but this swelling disappears after a maximum of five days. Slight bleeding and blistering may also occur. Please note the following information:
- Scabs should not be removed so that the wound can heal optimally.
- If the areas are open, you should make sure that no dirt, sweat or shower water comes into contact with the wound – you should therefore take particular care when showering.
- We recommend an antiseptic wound cream and the use of pH-neutral soap for cleaning.
- Please do not scratch if itching occurs so as not to hinder regeneration.
Of course, we will inform you in detail on site in Berlin before and after the tattoo removal – if you have any questions, we are always there for you.
Durability
During laser tattoo removal in our practice in Berlin, the tattoo is completely removed and the change is therefore permanent. Depending on the thickness and size of the tattoo, the entire process can take a good year until the last remnants of the tattoo have disappeared.
Pain
Tattoo removal is carried out by doctors in our practice in Berlin. Nevertheless, there may be slight pain, especially after the treatment. However, this disappears on its own and can be treated well with conventional painkillers and cooling compresses.
Results
With each tattoo removal session, the color particles dissolved in the skin are gradually dissolved. The exact duration of the entire treatment in our practice in Berlin varies depending on the tattoo and is therefore difficult to give as a general rule. Intensive tattoos may require up to 10 sessions, but in some cases four sessions are sufficient. With regeneration breaks in between, such a process can take some time. We advise patience, as quick results, as often promised by dubious providers, often lead to scarring and encapsulation of the pigments, which makes further removal very difficult.

FAQ
When will I see the first results?
The colors of the tattoo become slightly fainter after each tattoo removal session in our practice in Berlin, as the particles are dissolved bit by bit. How quickly and how much the tattoo disappears depends on many factors, such as the depth of the particles introduced and the size.
Is the treatment suitable for everyone?
Laser treatment is suitable for all skin types and is a gentle way to remove tattoos. At our practice in Berlin, our experts will be happy to take care of you and adjust the strength of the laser so that the tattoo is removed gently and no residues such as scars remain. Darker skin types can also be treated with the laser.
What should I look out for after the treatment?
Following the treatment in our practice in Berlin, there may be slight swelling and redness. However, this will go away on its own after a few days. In rare cases, bleeding or blistering may also occur after the tattoo removal treatment. The resulting scab should not be removed so that the wound can heal properly and no scars form. If the areas open up, dirt or shower water should not get into them. We recommend using pH-neutral soap and antiseptic wound cream. Direct sunlight should be avoided for the first two weeks, this also applies to visiting a solarium.
Which areas of the body can be treated?
The laser can be used flexibly and is suitable for tattoo removal on the entire body. The experienced team at our practice in Berlin will be happy to take care of you and we will discuss your wishes with you in advance. Whether on the arm, stomach or leg: the laser makes your tattoo disappear so that your natural skin is revealed again. Tattoos on the wrist or face can also be gently removed using the laser. Large tattoos, such as on the back or chest, can also be treated.
What are the advantages compared to other methods?
Laser treatment is very gentle and, if carried out correctly, leaves no scars. Other options, such as the removal of skin layers using chemical or mechanical methods, can lead to scarring, which can result in the encapsulation of color pigments. With tattoo removal in our practice in Berlin, the risk of scarring is very low as it is carried out by doctors. However, we advise all patients to be patient, as laser removal takes some time.
How expensive is tattoo removal?
The exact price depends on the size of the tattoo and the intensity of the color. This determines the number of sessions required to make the tattoo disappear completely. We will discuss your questions with you in advance and inform you of the estimated price of your tattoo removal in Berlin.
How many sessions are used for tattoo removal?
Depending on the intensity and thickness of the tattoo, several sessions may be necessary to remove it completely. In the vast majority of cases, between five and ten sessions are required in our practice in Berlin for complete tattoo removal. Although it is theoretically possible to shorten the treatment period, this greatly increases the risk of scarring, which is why we advise our patients to have more sessions and be patient.
Since every tattoo is unique, tattoo removal in our practice in Berlin is also something personal. In the vast majority of cases, the entire tattoo can be treated in one session.
