HOW LONG DOES TATTOO REMOVAL TAKE?

  1. The way the tattoo is done, that is, the depth of the paint; In amateur tattoos, the paint is superficial, it comes off completely in one or two sessions, leaving no trace. Professional tattoos are deep, the dye has reached the lower layers of the skin. It is difficult to destroy the dye in the lower layers of the skin. It takes many sessions. In tattoos done on top of each other, the tattoo that is made after the tattoo pushes the previous paint down and the paint gets very deep. It is difficult to remove overlapped tattoos, scars may remain.
  2. The color of the paint is easier to remove black tattoos. Colored tattoos are difficult to remove, especially light tattoos. Different wavelengths of lasers are needed for different colors.
  3. The body area where the tattoo is made is an important factor. In tattoos where the skin is thin, such as the neck, the ink goes deeper and requires more sessions to remove.
  4. The more time has passed since the tattoo has been made, the easier it will be to remove. Because the body's defense cells are already working to remove the dye from the environment. 

As a result, although the number of sessions required for tattoo removal varies from person to person, 1-2 sessions of amateur tattoos and 8-10 sessions of professional tattoos may be required.

HOW IS TATTOO REMOVAL DONE?

Laser tattoo removal is a session-by-session procedure. With each session, the color of the tattoo fades a little. 4-6 weeks should pass between two sessions. The reason for this is that after each session, time is required for the disintegrating paint pieces to be removed from the body. It can be seen immediately that the paint crumbles during the procedure. The laser shot area turns white during the procedure, which indicates that the laser is effective.
