Laser and IPL

Laser tattoo removal is an aesthetic treatment that works on the ink pigment to achieve gradual fading, session by session. It suits people who want to fade or remove a tattoo they no longer identify with, soften an old design or prepare the skin for a new cover-up. How many sessions you need and how much the tattoo lightens depend on its size, colour and ink type, as well as its age and your skin, so it is a gradual process rather than an immediate one, and not every tattoo responds the same way. At Nova Center (Les Corts, Barcelona) we always begin with a prior assessment, where we review your tattoo, explain realistic expectations and outline an honest, session-by-session plan.

How it works

The laser acts on the tattoo pigment session by session to support gradual lightening. The number of sessions depends on the size, the colour and the ink, and is estimated at the assessment.

The procedure

  1. 1

    Assessment

    We review the size, the colours and the ink of the tattoo, and your skin, to estimate sessions and explain realistic expectations.

  2. 2

    Preparation

    The area is cleansed and the skin protected before each session.

  3. 3

    Session

    The pigment is worked with the laser in controlled passes, adapting the settings to each colour.

  4. 4

    Care and follow-up

    Care and sun-protection guidance is given and the sessions are spaced out to respect the skin's recovery.

What this page helps you decide

Laser removal fits when you want to fade or remove a tattoo gradually and with professional guidance. The result depends a lot on colour, age and ink: some tattoos fade more and in fewer sessions than others. At the assessment we review your tattoo and explain honestly what to expect, without promising a specific result.

When it may not be the first option

  • You are looking for an immediate change equivalent to surgery.
  • You expect a fixed or assured result.
  • There is active irritation, infection or lesions in the area right now.
  • You are pregnant or breastfeeding (depending on the treatment).
  • You have recently had other procedures in the area that should be assessed first.

  • Which treatments have I had before and how might they matter?

  • What maintenance or follow-up may be needed?
  • How is the price planned for my case?

Frequently asked questions

How does laser tattoo removal work?

The laser acts on the ink pigment and breaks it into smaller particles, which the body gradually reabsorbs, so the tattoo lightens progressively over several sessions. It is performed in-cabin and always with a prior assessment.

How many sessions are needed?

It depends on the tattoo's size, colour, age and ink type. Treatment is carried out in spaced sessions, and an indicative number is estimated at the assessment; it is not a fixed figure or the same for every case.

Does it depend on the tattoo's colour and size?

Yes. Size, colour and ink saturation strongly influence the result: some inks respond better than others, and a large tattoo usually needs more sessions. At the assessment we review your case to guide you realistically.

Is it fully removed?

The aim is progressive fading. The degree of lightening varies with each tattoo and its ink, and a total result cannot be promised. At the assessment we explain what fading is reasonable to expect in your case.

Does it hurt?

The sensation varies with the area and the tattoo; it is usually described as tolerable discomfort during the session. We work to keep it as manageable as possible and explain what you will feel beforehand.

What aftercare is there between sessions?

After each session you receive skin-care and sun-protection guidance, and a spacing is kept before the next session. That interval is defined at the assessment, based on how your skin recovers.

Do I need a prior assessment?

We recommend an assessment to confirm the treatment is suitable and define the protocol for your case.

Can I expect a specific result?

Results vary from person to person. We do not promise a specific result.
