Tattoo Removal Treatment in Thane & Mumbai
Whether it’s a name that no longer matters, a design you’ve outgrown, or simply a change of mind, unwanted tattoos can now be safely and effectively removed. At KP Dermatology, Thane, Dr. Prratyush More (MBBS, DDVL — 14+ years of clinical experience) offers Candela PicoWay® picosecond laser tattoo removal — often clearing skin in fewer sessions than older laser technologies.
The PicoWay® laser’s ultra-short picosecond pulses shatter tattoo ink into microscopic particles your body can naturally clear away, including notoriously stubborn colours like blues and greens that older lasers struggle to remove.
Understanding PicoWay® Tattoo Removal
Traditional Q-switched lasers rely on heat (a photothermal effect) to break down tattoo ink, which can cause more inflammation and takes longer to clear certain ink colours. The PicoWay® laser instead uses picosecond pulses — a trillionth of a second — creating a photoacoustic effect that shatters ink into much finer particles, allowing your body’s lymphatic system to clear it away more efficiently.
Dr. Prratyush More assesses your tattoo’s ink colours, depth, size, and age before creating a personalised removal plan, since professional tattoos, amateur tattoos, and different ink colours all respond differently to laser treatment.
Tattoo Types We Treat
From small amateur tattoos to large multi-coloured professional pieces, PicoWay® offers effective removal across ink types.
Black Ink Tattoos
The most responsive ink colour, typically clearing efficiently with PicoWay® treatment.
Coloured Tattoos (Blues & Greens)
Notoriously stubborn colours that PicoWay® clears more effectively than older lasers.
Multi-Coloured Tattoos
Complex, multi-pigment designs treated with wavelength-specific laser settings.
Amateur/Homemade Tattoos
Generally faster to clear due to shallower, less consistent ink deposition.
Professional Tattoos
Deeper, denser ink requiring a more structured, multi-session removal plan.
Old, Faded Tattoos
Long-standing tattoos that have already begun to fade naturally, cleared efficiently.
Recent Tattoos
Newer tattoos with denser ink, requiring a carefully-paced removal schedule.
Partial Tattoo Removal
Selective fading of a portion of a tattoo, often for cover-up preparation.
Large-Area Tattoos
Bigger designs treated in sections over a structured multi-session plan.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about PicoWay® tattoo removal, sessions, and safety — answered by Dr. Prratyush More.
How many sessions will I need to remove my tattoo?
This varies significantly based on ink colours, density, size, and depth. Full tattoo removal generally requires a customised series of 3–8 treatments spaced several weeks apart, and Dr. More will give you a realistic estimate after assessing your specific tattoo.
Does tattoo removal hurt?
The PicoWay® laser’s ultra-fast pulses are generally more comfortable than older laser technologies, with most patients describing the sensation as a mild snapping feeling. Numbing options can be discussed for larger or more sensitive areas.
Can all tattoo colours be removed?
Most colours respond well to PicoWay® treatment, including notoriously difficult colours like blue and green. Black ink typically responds fastest, while certain unusual pigments may require more sessions or show more gradual fading.
Is there a risk of scarring?
The PicoWay®’s lower-heat picosecond technology significantly reduces the risk of scarring compared to older laser methods. Following aftercare instructions carefully further minimises this risk.
Will removal leave a mark or shadow of the tattoo?
Complete clearance is achievable for many tattoos, particularly with sufficient sessions and proper healing between treatments. Very deep, dense, or professionally-done tattoos with certain ink types may leave a faint shadow even after a full course, which Dr. More will discuss honestly during your consultation.
