Not every tattoo needs to be completely removed. Often, targeted lightening is all it takes – to create the ideal foundation for a new design or a professional cover-up.
At SKINTIME, we offer specialised tattoo lightening using modern picosecond lasers – PicoSure® and Cutera enlighten™. By precisely reducing colour density, we create the perfect conditions for your tattoo artist.
Many tattoo artists recommend laser treatment before a cover-up – dark, high-contrast tattoos can significantly affect the outcome of a new design. The goal is not to remove the tattoo completely, but to selectively reduce pigment, soften contrasts and lighten disruptive colour areas.
This method offers clear advantages:
For tattoo lightening, SKINTIME works with two advanced picosecond laser systems: the PicoSure® and the Cutera enlighten™. This technology enables particularly precise fragmentation of colour pigments, allowing the body to break them down gradually.
For cover-up preparation, this technology offers decisive advantages:
The number of treatments depends on colour, pigment density, depth and the desired degree of lightening – in many cases, just a few sessions are sufficient to create an excellent foundation for a new tattoo.
Lightening occurs gradually over several weeks following each session. The goal is not complete removal, but a visible reduction in colour density. Fewer sessions are typically required compared to full tattoo removal. The exact number depends on the tattoo and the desired outcome, and will be discussed individually in advance.
Tattoo lightening at SKINTIME is suitable for anyone who:
After treatment, temporary redness, swelling or scabbing may occur – these reactions are harmless and typically subside quickly. Treatment is not possible during pregnancy, in cases of acute skin inflammation, or with certain pre-existing conditions. Individual suitability is assessed by a physician in advance.
At SkinTime, safety, quality and personalised care are our top priorities. Our decades of experience, combined with treatments performed by qualified physicians and NiSV-certified specialists, form the basis for safe and convincing results.
