Laser Tattoo Removal in Thane
Whether it’s a change in lifestyle, a career move, or simply a change of heart, living with an unwanted tattoo doesn’t have to be permanent. At KP Dermatology, Thane, Dr. Prratyush More (MBBS, DDVL — 14+ years of clinical experience) offers advanced laser tattoo removal using the Candela PicoWay® laser system.
Older, nanosecond lasers often struggle with certain ink colours and require many sessions to show results. PicoWay’s picosecond pulses are fast and powerful enough to shatter tattoo ink across a wide spectrum of colours — including notoriously stubborn blues and greens — into particles small enough for your body’s lymphatic system to clear more efficiently.
Understanding Laser Tattoo Removal
Tattoo ink sits deep within the dermis, bound in place by the body’s immune cells. Laser tattoo removal works by delivering enough energy to fracture these ink particles into pieces small enough for the lymphatic system to gradually flush away over the following weeks.
Dr. Prratyush More assesses your tattoo’s ink colours, density, and depth before planning a session schedule, since factors like ink type, tattoo age, and skin tone all influence how many sessions will be needed for full or partial removal.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about laser tattoo removal — answered by Dr. Prratyush More.
How many sessions will I need to fully remove my tattoo?
This varies widely depending on ink colours, density, tattoo age, and skin tone. Many tattoos need anywhere from 4 to 10 or more sessions, spaced six to eight weeks apart to allow the skin to heal and clear ink between treatments.
Can all tattoo colours be removed?
Black ink typically responds best, while certain colours like light blue, green, and yellow can be more resistant. Dr. More will assess your specific tattoo and set realistic expectations.
Is laser tattoo removal painful?
Most patients describe the sensation as similar to a rubber band snapping against the skin. Numbing options can be discussed for larger or more sensitive areas.
Will there be scarring?
When performed correctly with proper aftercare, scarring risk is low, though it can vary depending on skin type and how well aftercare instructions are followed.
How long should I wait between sessions?
Sessions are typically spaced six to eight weeks apart to give your body adequate time to clear fractured ink particles and allow the skin to fully heal.
