A PERSONAL DECISION. A CONSIDERED APPROACH.

You decide what
comes next.

A name, a memory, a design you have outgrown. Or simply space for something new. Start with a conversation about what you want to change.

01

Remove as much as possible

Work towards the greatest achievable reduction in visible ink, with a realistic discussion of the time, skin response, and possibility of a remaining shadow.

Understand your options ↗
02

Make room for a new design

Lighten an existing tattoo or selected dark sections to give your tattoo artist more flexibility when planning a cover-up.

Explore cover-up fading ↗
03

Understand a difficult tattoo

Get an assessment of stubborn colors, layered ink, or a previously treated tattoo, and discuss what a sensible next step might look like.

Start with an assessment ↗

THE SCIENCE, SIMPLY EXPLAINED

Different ink.
Different approach.

Picosecond pulses help fragment suitable tattoo pigments. Your body then gradually processes part of the fragmented ink. The right wavelength matters as much as the technology name.

Explore the principle behind each ink color. Actual wavelengths and settings depend on an individual assessment of your skin and tattoo.

EXPLORE YOUR INK · CHOOSE A COLOR

Tattoo ink colors
1,064nm

Often considered for black & dark ink

Black and selected dark blue pigments often respond more predictably. Density, depth, previous cover-ups, and your skin still shape the treatment plan.

A suitable wavelength does not guarantee complete clearance.

755nm

For selected blue & turquoise pigments

Some blue and turquoise inks may respond to 755 nm. Certain dark blue inks may instead be considered for 1,064 nm. The visible shade cannot reveal every ingredient in the ink.

Pigment and skin are assessed together, beyond the color label alone.

755nm

An option for certain green inks

Selected green and blue-green pigments may be considered for 755 nm. Formulation and layering can make apparently similar greens respond differently.

Green ink can remain challenging. A test spot may be discussed.

532nm

For selected red & warm-toned inks

Some red and orange pigments may be considered for 532 nm. Natural skin pigment also absorbs this wavelength, so skin tone and recent sun exposure matter.

Yellow and pale mixtures can be unpredictable. Assessment comes first.

Test first

Pale ink & cosmetic tattoos need care

White, beige, and cosmetic pigments can darken after laser exposure. A specific assessment and possible test spot are important before treating a wider area.

Ask about the exact site and suitability. Not every cosmetic tattoo can be treated.

A color guide, not a diagnosis or treatment recommendation.

PICOSECOND VS CONVENTIONAL NANOSECOND Q-SWITCHED

A shorter pulse.
A finer approach to ink.

Both technologies break up tattoo pigment. Ultrashort picosecond pulses can produce a strong photoacoustic effect, helping suitable pigments fragment more finely under appropriate conditions. Your body then gradually processes part of the fragmented ink.

CONVENTIONAL Q-SWITCHED

Nanosecond pulses

An established tattoo-removal technology using pulses in the nanosecond range.

Conceptual pigment fragmentation with nanosecond pulses; particle sizes are illustrative, not measured.NANOSECOND PULSE → FRAGMENTS

Larger fragments are shown in this illustration. Actual fragmentation and clearance depend on the device, settings, ink and skin.

PICOSECOND TECHNOLOGY

Ultrashort pulses. Finer fragmentation.

Shorter energy delivery may help limit heat diffusion around the targeted pigment.

Conceptual pigment fragmentation with picosecond pulses; particle sizes are illustrative, not measured.ULTRASHORT PULSE → FRAGMENTS

Smaller fragments illustrate a potential advantage of picosecond pulses. This does not mean instant clearance or an absence of heat and treatment risks.

Animated schematics explain a principle; particle size, number and movement are not measured or to scale. These are not before-and-after photographs. Here, Q-switched refers to conventional nanosecond systems; actual pulse durations vary by device and settings.

Skin protection is part of the plan.

Appropriate energy, healing intervals and aftercare help minimise unnecessary skin injury. A comparative clinical study reported less pain and milder temporary reactions with its picosecond system, but no scars occurred with either laser. A lower scar rate was not established. Both treatments can cause scarring; a scar-free result cannot be promised.

    Talk to BAC

    Message us on LINE or WhatsApp with your preferred date, tattoo location, and goal. The team confirms the appointment in chat.

  2. 02

    Know your options

    Explore a plan for your tattoo and skin. Discuss suitability, the proposed approach, expectations, and the current price before deciding.

  3. 03

    Treat when suitable

    Consultation and treatment may be possible on the same day. Wavelengths and settings are selected for the assessed area and pigment.

  4. 04

    Heal, review, adjust

    Follow your aftercare instructions. Allow time for recovery and fading, then reassess the remaining pigment before the next session.

Good decisions start
with honest expectations.

Progress takes time

Most tattoos need multiple sessions. Recovery and pigment clearance continue between visits; a fixed finish date cannot be promised.

Your skin comes into the plan

Discuss pigment changes, blistering, infection, and scarring before treatment. Complete removal without residual marks cannot be guaranteed.

You stay part of the decision

The goal, timing, and budget can be reviewed as your tattoo responds. A clear conversation is the starting point.

CARE DOES NOT END WITH THE LASER

Give your skin
time to recover.

Aftercare questions ↗

Protect & keep it simple

Follow the dressing and cleaning instructions for your treated area. Use only the aftercare products advised for your skin.

Reduce sun & friction

Avoid picking, rubbing, soaking, and unnecessary sun exposure while healing. Discuss exercise, swimming, and travel before treatment.

Know when to check in

Increasing pain, spreading redness, pus, or fever needs medical advice. Contact the clinic if you are unsure how the area is healing.

THE QUESTIONS ON YOUR MIND

Let’s make
things clearer.

Straightforward answers before you take the next step.

Can a tattoo disappear after one session?

Complete clearance after one session is uncommon. Ink can sit at different depths and in several layers, and the body needs time to process fragmented pigment. An early visible change is possible, but it is not a promise that the whole tattoo will clear quickly. Ask for a realistic discussion of your design after examination.

How many sessions will my tattoo need?

The answer depends on ink colors, density, depth, layering, body site, skin response, and the goal of treatment. A small tattoo can still need a prolonged course. An initial plan can be discussed, then revised as the response becomes clearer. No fixed session count or complete-removal guarantee is offered on this page.

Is black ink easier to remove than color ink?

Black and selected dark blue inks often respond more predictably than lighter or mixed colors. However, dense black ink, deep deposits, and cover-up layers can still be challenging. Ink formulation matters as well as the color you can see. The full tattoo is assessed rather than predicting the outcome from black ink alone.

Can blue, green, red, or yellow tattoos be treated?

Selected colored pigments may respond to an appropriate wavelength, and BAC lists 532, 755, and 1,064 nm options. The exact shade and ink composition still matter. Pale yellow and mixed colors can be particularly unpredictable. Some tattoos need different approaches across different sections; suitability and likely limitations are discussed after examination.

Does tattoo removal hurt?

It can sting or feel like repeated snaps, and the sensation varies by location and person. Discuss numbing, cooling, the size of the proposed area, and opportunities to pause before treatment begins. The time needed for consultation and preparation may be longer than the laser exposure itself, so ask about the whole visit rather than only laser time.

Will laser tattoo removal leave a scar?

Scarring is a possible risk, and a scar-free result cannot be promised. Other changes include darkening, lightening, or altered texture. Some tattoos already contain scar tissue that becomes easier to see as the ink fades. Careful assessment, appropriate treatment, recovery time, and following aftercare instructions all belong in the discussion about risk.

How long should I wait between appointments?

The interval is set according to healing, the remaining pigment, the previous reaction, and an individual assessment. Plans commonly allow several weeks or longer. Do not schedule repeat treatment simply because redness has gone or because your trip is short. Ask when your own treated area should be reassessed before another session.

Can I lighten only part of a tattoo for a cover-up?

Targeted fading may be an option when the area is suitable. Discuss which part restricts the new design with your artist, then bring that goal to the consultation. The required amount of fading is individual. The skin must be fully healed and the timing confirmed after a recovery assessment before new tattooing is considered.

Can I go swimming, exercise, or sunbathe afterwards?

Avoid soaking or swimming while the skin is healing, and protect it from unnecessary sun exposure. Exercise needs to be considered in relation to sweating, heat, rubbing, and the treated location. Ask for advice suited to your activities. A small wrist tattoo and a large area under tight sports clothing can need different practical precautions.

What if a blister develops?

Do not deliberately pop a blister or remove its covering skin. Protect the area and follow the wound-care instructions provided. Contact the clinic if the blister is large, painful, repeatedly rubbed, or you are uncertain how to dress it. Increasing pain, spreading redness, pus, or fever needs prompt medical review rather than home experimentation.

Can I continue treatment after another clinic?

You can request an assessment of the remaining ink and the current skin condition. Bring previous records if available and explain the timing, method, and any adverse reactions. The next treatment is planned from today’s examination; settings are not copied automatically from another device. An incompletely healed or irritated area may need more recovery time first.

Can I have a consultation and treatment on the same day?

Same-day consultation and treatment may be possible when the tattoo and skin are suitable and appointment arrangements permit. It is not automatic. Contact the team first, explain that you would like this option, and allow enough time for assessment and preparation. The final decision is made after the in-person consultation.

How much does tattoo removal at BAC cost?

Body-tattoo removal starts at 800 baht per session for XS 2.5 × 2.5 cm. Five-session body-tattoo packages start at 3,000 baht. Both eyebrows are 1,500 baht for one session or 5,000 baht for five sessions. See the full size table and confirm the treatment area, suitability, inclusions, and package conditions with BAC. Five sessions is a package quantity, not a guaranteed clearance deadline.

Can you guarantee complete removal?

No. Some tattoos fade substantially, while others retain a shadow, an outline, a resistant color, or visible texture. Your starting tattoo and skin influence what is achievable. Discuss both the hoped-for outcome and the possibility of residual pigment before treatment. A clear, realistic plan should help you decide whether the potential improvement matches your own goal.

Can I book in English through WhatsApp?

Yes. You can contact BAC on WhatsApp at +66 96 092 4442 or LINE at @bacclinic. Include your preferred date, the body area, and whether you are considering removal or cover-up fading. The team confirms availability in chat. No payment, medical image upload, or account registration is needed to prepare a message on this page.

Does Pico guarantee less scarring than nanosecond Q-switched?

No. Shorter picosecond pulses may offer advantages in pigment fragmentation. A comparative clinical study found less pain and shorter temporary reactions with the tested picosecond system, but no scarring occurred with either system, so that study cannot establish a lower scar rate. Wavelengths, settings, skin condition, healing intervals, and aftercare all matter. Both treatments have risks and neither guarantees scar-free removal.
