Tattoo removal

Laser tattoo removal in Aydın, Turkey

Removal is done at Mia Porfiria Ink's studio in Efeler, Aydın — the same place, and the same team, that applies tattoos. We use a picosecond pulsed laser, which breaks ink pigment into much finer particles than older Q-switch systems.

The assessment comes first

We do not quote a number of sessions before seeing the tattoo. Ink colour, how deep it sits, the age of the work and your skin type all change the answer, so the first step is a free in-person assessment at the studio in Efeler, Aydın.

Two different goals are possible, and they need different plans. Full removal aims to clear the tattoo entirely. Lightening only opens the ink enough for a new design to be applied over it — that usually takes fewer sessions than full removal.

If you are travelling to Turkey for this, note that removal is not a single visit. Sessions are spaced weeks apart so the skin can recover and the body can clear the broken-down pigment.

How it works

What a picosecond laser does

Picosecond pulses

Energy is delivered in extremely short pulses rather than a longer burst.

Finer particles

Ink is shattered into smaller fragments, which the body can then carry away.

Colour response

Black ink generally responds fastest. Coloured work can also respond, but the number of sessions and the timeline can differ.

Comfort

Cooling support is used throughout the session. The discomfort felt during the procedure is short-lived.

Process

From assessment to final check

1
Assessment

We look at the tattoo, discuss whether you want full removal or lightening, and explain what is realistic.
2
Session plan

A plan is built for your tattoo rather than a fixed package. Intervals of several weeks are left between sessions.
3
Sessions

Each session is carried out with cooling support and aftercare instructions are given afterwards.
4
Follow-up

We check progress between sessions and adjust the plan as the ink responds.

Good to know

Setting expectations honestly

Nobody can promise a specific number of sessions in advance, and we will not give you one before seeing the tattoo. Anyone who does is guessing.

When the aftercare instructions are followed the risk of scarring is low, but every skin type behaves differently — which is exactly why the assessment happens before any session is booked.

You do not have to remove a tattoo completely. If your goal is a new piece in the same place, lightening is often enough, and we can plan the cover-up alongside it.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How many sessions does Pico laser tattoo removal take?

It depends on the ink colour, how deep it sits, the age of the tattoo and your skin type. Black ink usually responds fastest. An exact number can only be given after an in-person assessment where the tattoo is examined.

How far apart are the sessions?

Several weeks are usually left between sessions so the skin can heal and the body can clear the broken-down pigment. The exact interval is set during the assessment.

Does the procedure hurt?

It depends on your pain threshold; the discomfort felt during the session is short-lived. Cooling support is used throughout the application.

Will it leave a scar?

When the aftercare instructions are followed the risk is low. Every skin type is different, so the process varies from person to person — which is why we carry out an assessment first.

Can coloured tattoos be removed?

Black pigments generally respond faster. Results are possible with coloured tattoos too, but the number of sessions and the timeline can differ. Some pigments respond more slowly than others.

Do I have to remove the tattoo completely?

No. If you want new work over the same area, lightening the ink is usually enough rather than removing it entirely, and this generally needs fewer sessions.
