Tattoo Removal with ColorMAX
Tattoo removal with ColorMAX is a laser procedure that acts directly on the ink pigment, breaking it into particles small enough for your body to clear through the lymphatic system. It is gradual by design: the ink leaves over several sessions, not in one.
Ink colour is what decides how straightforward it will be — and it is the first thing we look at in the assessment, before giving you a number of sessions.
Benefits of Tattoo Removal with ColorMAX
Better results on difficult colours
ColorMAX uses specific wavelengths that act precisely on inks that are usually hard to clear — greens, blues and mixed colours. That means more even, more visible lightening in fewer sessions than with devices that only handle black.
Lower risk of scarring
The laser directs its energy at the tattoo pigment, not at the superficial layers of skin. Without extended thermal damage the skin keeps its structure, which is what keeps the risk of scarring low.
Gradual, controlled recovery
Sessions are spaced to let the skin regenerate in between. That rhythm protects the skin and is the reason removal is done gradually rather than aggressively.
A supervised clinical procedure
The whole process is carried out in a clinical setting, with calibrated equipment handled by trained staff, under biosafety protocols and with an assessment before each stage.
Other Uses of the ColorMAX Laser
The ColorMAX laser is not only for tattoo removal. Its precision and its ability to act on pigment without affecting the vascular structure make it useful for several other indications:

Frequently Asked Questions About Tattoo Removal with ColorMAX
How does laser tattoo removal with ColorMAX work?
The ColorMAX laser acts directly on the tattoo pigment, breaking the ink particles into microscopic units that your body clears through the lymphatic system. The process is gradual and takes several sessions, which is what allows the skin to recover in between.
Where can I get laser tattoo removal safely in Medellín?
In Medellín, Clínica Be Dharma performs tattoo removal with ColorMAX in a licensed clinical setting, following medical and biosafety protocols. Before starting we run an assessment to define the number of sessions, the depth of the ink and what is realistic for your case.
How many sessions does a large tattoo need?
Larger tattoos are treated in stages, divided by area. Generally they need between 8 and 12 sessions, depending on the colour, the amount of ink, its depth and how your skin responds.
What results can I expect, before and after?
The changes are gradual. With each session the tattoo lightens visibly, losing intensity and definition. The final result depends on the colour and the ink used — some pigments never clear completely, and we will tell you that at the assessment rather than after six sessions.
Does laser tattoo removal cause scarring?
Performed with ColorMAX and by trained professionals, the risk of scarring is low. The laser acts only on the pigment, without affecting the superficial layers of skin, and the intervals between sessions are set to let the skin recover properly.
Does removing a tattoo with ColorMAX hurt?
The sensation varies with how sensitive your skin is, but it is generally described as mild heat or small prickles. We use pain management techniques to make each session as comfortable as possible.
Can permanent makeup or microblading be removed with this laser?
Yes. ColorMAX is effective for lightening or removing the pigments used in permanent makeup, particularly on brows and lips. The procedure is carried out with extra care to protect the skin and its natural texture.
