What is Tattoo Removal?
Tattoo removal, in simple terms, is a procedure to get a tattoo removed using different methods, such as laser, skin grafting, dermabrasion, etc. While laser tattoo removal is the most popular technique for tattoo removal, it has certain limitations. For instance, the Q-switched lasers that are generally used for tattoo removal are not that effective on light colors, such as yellow and green. As a result, it may become difficult to remove the entire tattoo.
At Pristyn Care, we employ the Skin Grafting technique to cover the tattoos. This technique involves taking a graft from another part of the body and placing it over the tattoo to cover it properly. Compared to other methods like laser tattoo removal or tattoo removal by dermabrasion, the skin grafting technique will leave no traces of the tattoo.
Factors That Affect Tattoo Removal Cost in India
Similar to other surgical procedures, there are various factors that affect the cost of tattoo removal. The key factors are explained below for a better understanding of how they will impact the overall expense of the treatment.
1: Size of the Tattoo
A key element that affects the tattoo removal cost is the size of the tattoo. The larger the size, the more the surgeon has to work to cover the tattoo regardless of the technique used. If the tattoo is big enough to cover the arm, the graft required to cover the tattoo should also be large enough to cover the entire arm. As a result, the cost will also increase.
2: Technique Used for Tattoo Removal
As discussed above, there are multiple treatment methods available for tattoo removal, including laser, dermabrasion, skin excision, skin grafting, and much more. The surgeon determines the most suitable technique after evaluating the tattoo.
Each technique costs different. For instance, the laser technique will cost around Rs. 5,000 to Rs. 35,000 per session. If the technique chosen requires multiple sessions, the entire cost of tattoo removal can be significantly high. If there are no multiple sessions required, as in the skin grafting technique, the treatment cost will be around Rs. 25,000 to Rs. 1,00,000 approximately.
3: City Where You Are Getting Treatment
The cost of treatment in metro cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore, Hyderabad, etc. is higher than in tertiary cities, such as Chandigarh, Kanpur, Kochi, Jaipur, etc. The primary reason for this variation is the availability of resources and quality of medical care in these cities.
4: Doctor’s & Anesthetist’s Fee
Choosing a highly experienced surgeon is important to ensure the success of a surgical procedure. The same is true with tattoo removal.
Depending on the surgeon’s experience and expertise, the charges for consultation and operation will be different. It means that an expert plastic surgeon is likely to charge more to perform the procedure. As a result, the overall cost of tattoo removal will increase. The average fee will be around Rs. 10,000 to Rs. 40,000 approximately.
Along with the surgeon, the patient also has to bear the anesthetist’s fee which will range from Rs. 2,000 to Rs. 10,000 approximately.
5: Choice of Hospital
The cost of treatment at every hospital is different. It usually depends on the hospital’s location, the services offered, the facilities available, and some other factors. If you are getting treatment at a 5-star rated hospital, the treatment cost is likely to be more expensive.
Another point that should be considered is whether you are getting treatment at a private hospital or a government hospital. The expense of medical and surgical care at government medical centers is comparatively lower than at private medical centers. But the quality of care at private centers is usually far better than at government centers.
6: Hospitalization Cost
From being admitted to the hospital to getting discharged, there are many expenses that you have to bear during the hospitalization. Every hospital has a fixed administration cost which must be paid during admission. Then, depending on the choice of the ward (private, double, triple, or general), the cost will vary from Rs. 2,000 to Rs. 8,000 approximately.
Moreover, the duration of stay will further increase the cost. Besides this, there are other expenses, such as medical consumables, meals, discharge fees, etc. that are accounted for while calculating the final cost.
7: Additional Expenses
Other than the above-mentioned factors, there are other expenses, such as diagnostic tests, pre and post-surgery medications, additional support devices, follow-up consultations, travel charges, etc.
As tattoo removal is a cosmetic procedure, it is less likely to be covered under insurance. It means that you have to bear the cost of the entire treatment personally.
