About the Treatment

Tattoo removal is not a perfectly predictable process. Response to treatment varies person to person. Laser treatments are currently considered to be the most effective way of achieving tattoo reduction. Tattoo colors, skin types, quality of tattoos and other factors will affect the results of laser treatment. The majority of patients should observe color reduction after each session. Yellow ink is known not to respond to laser treatments. Colors other than dark ink will also not respond to treatments as vigorously, like orange, pink and light blue. It could take several treatments to observe significant tattoo reduction. The goal is to reduce the ink as much as possible. It will require multiple sessions,(unknown exact number), but the end-point is that there is no further observation of reduction. Realistic expectations are to reduce, rather than totally eliminate tattoos.
