Laser lightening – cover up tattoo black
Why laser lightening is important
The advantages of lightening before a cover up
A cover-up tattoo is a popular solution if you want to cover up an old or unwanted tattoo. However, with a black tattoo in particular, the question often arises as to how well it can be covered up with a new motif. Complete coverage could be a challenge here. But there is a solution: laser lightening of the tattoo at Dermacare Vienna.
At Dermacare Vienna, you can have your black tattoo optimally prepared before a cover-up using the latest laser technology. We explain once again why tattoo lightening is generally a good idea. Because you’re probably asking yourself: “Do you really need laser lightening for a black tattoo before a cover-up?

Tattoo black - the cover-up challenge
Why lighten a black tattoo with a laser?
Laser lightening offers an effective method of fading the old tattoo to such an extent that the new motif can be easily engraved over it. The laser achieves excellent results with black tattoos in particular, as black absorbs the most light and therefore responds particularly well to laser treatment.
But there are other reasons why tattoo lightening makes sense:
1. More design freedom for the new tattoo
Without lightening a black tattoo, the tattoo artist is often forced to use darker colours and stronger lines to cover up the old motif. This considerably restricts the design options. After a successful laser treatment, on the other hand, it is possible to use lighter colours and finer details for the cover-up, as the original black colour has been greatly reduced. This gives you a wider choice of tattoo variations.
2. Better aesthetics
If the old tattoo has not faded sufficiently, it can show through the new tattoo, which has a negative effect on the final result. Laser lightening ensures that the old motif largely disappears and the new tattoo comes into its own in full splendour. This achieves a much cleaner and more harmonious end result.
3. Fewer sessions at the tattooist
Without prior lightening, the cover-up has to be applied in several sessions, as the tattoo artist has to keep checking whether the old tattoo is completely covered. This not only means more time, but also higher costs. Laser lightening reduces the number of sessions required and enables a smoother tattooing process.
Laser treatment at Dermacare Vienna
Dermacare Vienna uses state-of-the-art laser technology for cover-up tattoo lightening, which is specially optimised for dark tattoos such as black. The innovative PICOPLUS laser precisely breaks down the colour particles of the old tattoo in the skin without affecting the surrounding tissue. This laser uses a combination of pico- and nanosecond technology, which ensures impressive results, especially with black tattoos, as the dark pigments react well to the impulses.
After just a few sessions, a clear lightening is visible, which makes it possible to optimally prepare the original tattoo for a new design. As the laser emits shorter pulses, many patients find the treatment less painful than the tattoo itself. The skin also recovers quickly – it is usually completely healed after a few weeks and ready for the planned black cover-up tattoo.
Prevention is better than aftercare
A black tattoo poses a particular challenge for a cover-up. The darkness of the colour can shimmer through the new design and impair the desired result. To avoid this, laser lightening is the best solution. It allows more creative freedom, better aesthetic results and saves time and money. At Dermacare Vienna, you can have your black tattoo lightened using the latest laser technology, creating the perfect basis for a new, personalised cover-up.
