Overview

Paramed

Tattoo lightening before a cover-up in Baku helps when you want a new design over an old one but the existing ink is too dark to hide. At Paramed the specialist uses a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser on the Harmony XL Pro to fade the old tattoo. This gives your tattoo artist a lighter base to work on. Because the goal is lightening rather than removal, the course can be planned around what the artist needs. Sessions are spaced several weeks apart so the skin can heal and clear pigment. Different colours respond differently, and complete removal is never promised. Pricing follows tattoo size, from 50 AZN for up to 10 cm² to 250 AZN for up to 200 cm².

Technology

Paramed

The Harmony XL Pro uses a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser with very short pulses. Ink particles absorb the energy and break into smaller fragments, which the body removes gradually. Dark inks usually absorb this wavelength well, while some colours respond less, so the specialist reviews each session's result. For a cover-up, the target is a faded base rather than clear skin, so fewer sessions may be enough than for full removal.

FAQ

Paramed

? Why lighten a tattoo before a cover-up? ⌄

A dark old tattoo can show through new ink and limit the design. Lightening it first gives the tattoo artist a paler base, which allows more choice of colours and shapes for the cover-up.

? How many sessions do I need before a tattoo cover-up? ⌄

It depends on the ink, depth and age of the tattoo and on how light your artist needs it. Several sessions spaced weeks apart are typical, and the specialist reviews progress at each visit.

? How much does tattoo lightening cost? ⌄

Pricing is by area: 50 AZN up to 10 cm², 75 AZN up to 20 cm² and 100 AZN up to 50 cm². Larger tattoos cost 140 AZN up to 80 cm², 160 AZN up to 100 cm² and 250 AZN up to 200 cm².

? When can I get the cover-up tattoo after laser lightening? ⌄

The skin needs to heal fully after the last laser session. Your specialist and tattoo artist will agree on timing, and the artist should check the skin before starting.

? Do all tattoo colours lighten equally? ⌄

No. Different colours respond differently to the laser. Dark inks often fade more readily, while some colours need more sessions. The specialist explains this after looking at your tattoo.
