The number of sessions required for laser tattoo removal can vary widely depending on several factors:
Size of the Tattoo: Larger tattoos typically require more sessions than smaller ones.
Ink Colours: Certain colours are more difficult to remove than others. Black and dark green inks are often the easiest to remove, while colours like blue, yellow, and purple can be more challenging.
Ink Depth: Tattoos with ink that is located deeper in the skin may require more sessions.
Type of Ink: The type and quality of the ink used in the tattoo can affect the ease of removal. Professional tattoos often use higher quality ink that is more challenging to remove than the ink used in amateur tattoos.
Location on the Body: Certain parts of the body respond better to laser treatment due to factors like blood circulation, which aids in the removal of ink particles.
Patient's Skin Type: People with lighter skin often have better results with laser tattoo removal because the laser can selectively target the pigment of the tattoo without disrupting the skin's pigment.
Individual Health Factors: As the process of fading a tattoo involves the immune system, individuals with stronger immune systems may see quicker results.
On average, professional tattoos require about 6 to 12 sessions for complete removal, while amateur tattoos usually need fewer sessions. Treatments are typically spaced about 6 to 8 weeks apart to allow the body to remove the maximum amount of tattoo pigment after each session and to minimise potential skin damage.
