Dermatology ClinicLaser Tattoo Removal in Busan, Korea Pico laser fading for black, coloured, small and large tattoos, planned session by session
At JRYN Seomyeon, a doctor looks at your tattoo first: the ink colours, how dense it is, where it sits and your skin type. Most tattoos need several sessions , and your doctor quotes the plan before you start.
Can I get laser tattoo removal in Busan?
Yes. JRYN Dermatology Clinic in Seomyeon treats unwanted tattoos with pico laser, which uses ultra-short pulses to break ink into tiny particles that your body then clears over the following weeks. The tattoo fades gradually, so most people need several sessions rather than one.
The price depends on the size, ink and number of sessions, so your doctor confirms it after seeing the tattoo. Send a photo on WhatsApp for a first opinion, then the doctor checks it in person at the clinic.

| Ink density | Thin linework, lighter shading | Dense, solid professional fill |

Laser Tattoo Removal FAQ
Still have questions? Message us on WhatsApp and we will answer in English.
How many sessions does laser tattoo removal take?
Most tattoos need several sessions, and there is no fixed number. Ink colour, density, depth, size, location and your skin all change the course. At JRYN Seomyeon, your doctor gives you a realistic estimate after seeing the tattoo, then reviews progress before every session.
How much does tattoo removal cost at JRYN?
There is no fixed listed price for tattoo removal, because the size, ink and number of sessions vary so much. Your doctor confirms the price after assessing the tattoo. Send a clear photo with a ruler or coin for scale on WhatsApp for a first opinion.
Can a tattoo be completely removed?
Complete removal cannot be guaranteed. Many tattoos fade a great deal, while some leave residual ink or a faint outline. For some people, strong fading for a cover-up is the more realistic goal, and your doctor will tell you honestly what to expect.
Are coloured tattoos harder to remove than black ones?
Usually, yes. Black and dark inks absorb laser energy well, while colours such as green, light blue and yellow tend to respond more slowly. Multicoloured tattoos may need a different strategy, so the doctor assesses each ink before planning.
Does laser tattoo removal hurt?
Most people describe it as quick snaps or stings of heat. Dense tattoos and bony areas tend to feel stronger. Comfort options, such as numbing, can be discussed at your consultation.
Will it leave a scar?
Scarring is possible with any treatment that affects the skin, though careful settings and good aftercare lower the risk. Some tattoos already contain faint scarring from the original tattooing, which shows more as the ink fades. Lighter or darker patches can also appear for a while, especially with sun exposure.
Can I remove a new tattoo?
Wait until the tattoo has fully healed before laser treatment. Treating fresh or unhealed skin is not recommended. Your doctor can advise on the right timing at a consultation.
Can I start tattoo removal on a short trip to Busan?
You can have one session during a trip, but a full course usually takes longer than a single visit. Sessions are spaced to let the skin heal. If you visit Busan regularly or live here, a course is easier to plan. Tell us your dates on WhatsApp.
