The short answer

What is tattoo removal, and is it right for you?

Laser tattoo removal shatters ink particles so the body can clear them over weeks. Black ink responds best; colours need specific wavelengths and more sessions.

At YAAN Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul, spot and tattoo treatments are priced by size and number at consultation; pico toning is ₩150,000 per session.
