How many sessions of tatoo removal should I expect to have?
Because most tattoos are created with multiple layers of ink, breaking them up will probably require a few treatments. The average amount of treatments is about 5 to 10 per tattoo. However, a faded or lighter tattoo might only require 3 to 4 treatments. Importantly, it is advisable to have a session every 2-3 months and not sooner as the pigment needs to rearrange so that the laser can effectively treat it.
Multiple factors are taken into consideration when determining how many treatments could be needed, including:
The age of the tattoo
Density of the ink
Location of the tattoo
Depth of the ink
Pre-existing scarring
Skin type of the patient
Patient’s health
A consultation will help determine the amount of treatments you will need.
