Laser Tattoo Removal in Tangier: Removing a Tattoo or Permanent Makeup

The laser breaks the ink down into particles small enough for your body to eliminate. My Laser offers tattoo removal using the Hollywood Spectra system at its center located at 38 Avenue Tarik Ibn Ziad, right in the heart of Tangier, for both body tattoos and permanent eyebrow makeup. Sessions start at 900 MAD, and the initial consultation is free.

How a Laser Removes a Tattoo

A tattoo lasts because the ink particles deposited in the dermis are too large for the cells responsible for cleansing to remove them. The laser emits extremely brief pulses that are absorbed by the pigment: the ink shatters into tiny fragments, which the lymphatic system then flushes out over the course of several weeks. That is why tattoo removal takes months, not just one session.

The Hollywood Spectra uses very short pulses that deliver energy to the pigment without causing sustained heating of the surrounding skin. Black and dark blues respond best; greens, yellows, and some reds require more sessions. An old, faded tattoo fades faster than a recent, dense one.

Services offered by the Tangier center:

  • Black and colored tattoos, from the smallest to the largest
  • Permanent eyebrow makeup, which is in high demand at the center
  • Amateur tattoos and isolated lines
  • Botched or distorted tattoos, before being fixed by a tattoo artist
  • Partial lightening of a tattoo intended to be covered up
  • Tattoos on olive and dark skin, with appropriate adjustments

Factors That Affect the Duration of Tattoo Removal

The number of sessions is never determined with certainty in advance: it is estimated at the outset and then adjusted based on the response observed after each session.

  • Colors

    Black and dark blue come off most easily. Greens, yellows, and some reds do not absorb energy well and require more sessions.

  • Ink density

    A professional tattoo—with dense, saturated ink—lasts longer than an amateur tattoo with fine lines. Age also plays a role: a tattoo that has already faded comes off more quickly.

  • The Location

    The farther an area is from the heart, the slower the lymphatic drainage: an ankle or a wrist takes longer than a shoulder or the décolletage.

  • Your skin type

    For medium and dark skin tones, the settings are adjusted more conservatively to prevent depigmentation or discoloration. A test is performed before the first full treatment.

What is a tattoo removal session like in Tangier?

A session lasts from a few minutes for an eyebrow to about 30 minutes for a large tattoo. The initial consultation is free.

  1. Free Assessment

    Assessment of the tattoo, including color, density, age, location, and skin type. The practitioner will estimate the number of sessions, check for any contraindications, and provide you with a quote. Call the center at 05 39 95 26 16 to schedule an appointment.

  2. The Test

    A few test shots are taken on a small area of the tattoo to observe the skin's reaction—particularly in skin types IV through VI—before treating the entire area.

  3. The session

    You're wearing protective eyewear. The handpiece scans the tattoo one shot at a time. It feels like hot grease splattering or a rubber band snapping against your skin.

  4. Bleaching

    The area turns white immediately after contact, while the microbubbles of gas dissipate, and then turns red. This is an expected reaction, not an incident.

  5. The Days That Follow

    Redness, swelling, and sometimes small scabs or blisters for a few days. Treat the area with a healing cream, protect it from the sun, and—most importantly—do not scratch it.

  6. The rest of the protocol

    Sessions are spaced 6 to 8 weeks apart, allowing the body time to eliminate the ink particles. The tattoo fades after each session, and the interval between sessions may become longer toward the end of the treatment plan.

Expect 5 to 10 sessions for a professional black tattoo; more for difficult colors, and fewer for permanent eyebrow makeup. A tattoo that’s meant to be covered up often requires only 2 to 4 sessions, since the goal is to lighten it, not remove it entirely.

  • Expect 5 to 10 sessions spaced 6 to 8 weeks apart for a professional black tattoo; more sessions may be needed if the design includes green, yellow, or certain shades of red. Permanent eyebrow makeup requires fewer sessions, and covering up an existing tattoo often requires only 2 to 4 lightening sessions.

  • The laser targets the pigment, not the skin: when properly adjusted and cared for, it leaves no scars. The main risks come from picking at scabs between sessions and from sun exposure on unprotected skin. The aftercare instructions provided at the center are designed precisely for this purpose.

  • The sensation feels like a splash of hot oil or a rubber band snapping against the skin, and is more intense on thin areas such as the wrist, ankle, or rib cage. The sessions are short: a few minutes for an eyebrow, about thirty minutes for a large tattoo.

  • Not at the same rate. Black and dark blues respond best. Greens, yellows, and some reds absorb energy poorly and require more sessions—sometimes without being completely removed. It’s best to assess this before you start, rather than after.

  • Yes, this is one of the most common requests at the Tangier center. The session costs 900 MAD per eyebrow, and a package of 5 sessions costs 3,600 MAD. Permanent makeup pigments may change color before fading, which is part of the standard procedure and is explained during the initial consultation.

  • Yes, provided that more conservative settings are used and a test is performed before the first full treatment. The main risk for skin types IV through VI is depigmentation or a temporary discoloration around the treated area. Sun protection is required throughout the entire treatment regimen.
