Laser Tattoo Removal (Fotona StarWalker)

Laser tattoo removal at Dermo-Estetic uses a Fotona StarWalker laser to break down tattoo ink into tiny particles that the body gradually clears, fading the tattoo over a series of sessions. The same StarWalker platform is also used to remove unwanted permanent make-up. Priced from 400 zł per session, the treatment is suited to those wanting to fade or remove an existing tattoo, with the number of sessions depending on the tattoo itself.

Laser tattoo removal works by delivering very short, high-energy laser pulses that are absorbed by the tattoo pigment and shatter it into much smaller fragments. These fragments are then gradually carried away by the body's own clearance processes over the weeks between sessions, so the tattoo fades progressively rather than disappearing at once. Dermo-Estetic uses a Fotona StarWalker laser for this purpose, a platform designed to target tattoo and pigment particles, and the same device is also used to remove unwanted permanent make-up. Because inks vary, the number of sessions needed depends on the size, age, depth and colour palette of the tattoo, as well as the skin and the individual's response — older and faded tattoos often clear in fewer sessions than dense, multicoloured work. Sessions are spaced several weeks apart to allow the skin to recover and the body to clear the fragmented ink. The treated area may feel warm and look red, slightly swollen or form a light crust for a few days afterwards, and strict sun protection is important between sessions. A patch and assessment at the first visit help set realistic expectations on how many sessions and what degree of fading or removal can be achieved. Pricing is per session from 400 zł, with the overall plan estimated after the tattoo is reviewed. The treatment is assessed for suitability beforehand and is avoided over broken skin or in pregnancy.
