Tattoo Removal Cost in Korea

Pricing varies depending on tattoo characteristics such as size, color complexity, ink density, and the number of sessions required. Below is an approximate range:

  • Small tattoos (1–3 cm): ₩50,000–₩150,000 per session
  • Medium tattoos (4–7 cm): ₩150,000–₩300,000 per session
  • Large tattoos (8 cm+): ₩300,000–₩600,000+ per session
  • Multi-color or difficult pigments: additional ₩50,000–₩200,000
  • Package programs (multiple sessions): ₩500,000–₩3,000,000 depending on tattoo complexity

Most patients see optimal fading after 5–10 sessions, scheduled at intervals of 4–8 weeks.

How Laser Tattoo Removal Works

High-energy laser pulses target tattoo pigments beneath the skin, breaking the ink into microscopic particles. These fragments are gradually eliminated by the body’s natural immune response.

Common laser systems used in Korea include:

  • Picosecond lasers (PicoSure, PicoWay, Discovery Pico) for faster fading and color precision
  • Q-switched Nd:YAG lasers for black and red pigments
  • Specialized wavelengths for green, blue, and resistant inks

Picosecond technology is particularly valued for its ability to remove stubborn or aged tattoos with reduced thermal damage.
