Laser Tattoo Removal Setting?

How much should the laser be turned up each treatment. I am being treated with the Alex TriVantage, 1st session level 1, 2nd 1.8 I just want to be sure I get the most effective treatment each time, as this costs lots of money and my 2nd session has not faded as much, although it has only been since Oct. 27th. Thanks!
