We all make mistakes — whether it is drinking too much during a girls’ night out or forgiving a lousy partner, bad choices are inevitable. After all, we live and learn.

If you’re suffering from tattoo regret specifically, know that you are not alone as 1 in 4 people are in the same boat, based on a study done in 2015. But before you rush in to book a tattoo removal session, there are many factors to consider, such as the duration of your treatment and side effects. 

Here are 8 clinics with tattoo removal services in Singapore, with price and treatment options included to help you make an informed decision.

1. 1Aesthetics Medical & Surgery

Medical Director of 1Aesthetics Medical & Surgery, Dr Wan Chee Kuang, specialises in a combination technique using the Quanta Discovery Pico Plus with fractional laser and shockwave therapy.

Although this triple combination treatment is not common in most clinics, Dr Wan highly recommends it over the traditional methods as it has additional benefits which address many pain points such as scarring and long recovery time.

Alternatively, if you wish to stick to the traditional single treatment approach, you may also choose to opt for just the Discovery Pico Plus. 

Before heading down physically, you can send in a picture of your tattoo on Facebook or through Instagram DMs for Dr Wan to quote an estimated price per session. As a bonus, their treatment rooms are also decorated with chio wall murals with quotes like “Hello Gorgeous” and “Sparkle Every Day”. 

Price: Depending on the size, placement and colour of the tattoo
Address: 8 Eu Tong Sen St, Tower 1, #14-90, The Central, Singapore 059818
Booking: Call 6612 5173

2. Freia Medical/Freia Aesthetics

Freia Medical has 2 different approaches for tattoo removal — Medlite C6 Q-switched Nd:yag or the Cynosure Picosure laser system. 

For a more cost-effective option, you can consider going for the Medlite C6 Q-switched Nd:yag as the cost for treatment is lower, with prices from $190. This machine is more effective in removing black and red ink and has a lower risk of scarring. However, the number of sessions required will be much more than if you opt for the Cynosure PicoSure laser.

If your tattoo has more stubborn colours like blue, green or purple, the Cynosure Picosure laser system has got your back with its advanced technology. 

Being the world’s first picosecond laser to receive FDA approval, the Cynosure Picosure is able to remove your tattoo with very minimal swelling so you can go for your dinner dates straight after the session.

Price: Starts from $190. Highly dependent on the treatment option, size and complexity of the tattoo.
Address: 101 Irrawaddy Road, #14-11/12/13, Royal Square Novena, Singapore 329565 | 435 Orchard Road, #19-03, Wisma Atria Office Tower, Singapore 238877 | 252 North Bridge Road, #B2-26, Raffles City Shopping Centre, Singapore 17910

At Radium Medical Aesthetics, they specialise in using the PicoSure Laser technique for tattoo removals. For the uninitiated, PicoSure features a natural 755-nanometre wavelength and uses laser pump handpieces to convert to different wavelengths for the removal of other ink colours.

The PicoSure technology is a new form of technology that prevents excessive thermal damage to the skin due to the short duration of skin contact, so minimal scarring is ensured. It is also more precise in targeting dark pigments on your skin and removing stubborn ink colours like green, blue and yellow.

Price: $300 to $2000 per session, depending on the size of the tattoo
Address: 3 Temasek Boulevard, #03-325/326, Suntec City Mall, Singapore 03898

There will be a consultation with Dr Yang to determine a suitable treatment plan to meet your individual needs, especially if you choose not to have skin textural changes.

These Clinics With Tattoo Removal Treatments Will Offer Solutions For Your Change of Heart

While there is no conclusive evidence that a certain type of machine is better than the other, one thing’s for sure — a picosecond laser is much more effective than a nanosecond laser. This is due to how it minimises the duration of contact between the skin and the laser and reduces excessive heat and pain.

Fortunately, a huge majority of the clinics in Singapore uses picosecond lasers as it has been proven to produce the best results in a shorter period of time, so you can bid farewell to your tattoo marks with peace of mind.
