Just want to know how many sessions approx to remove this tattoo or how many sessions to at least fade it a lot its not that big. Its my only tattoo and tattoos are not for me.
Answer: Tattoo Removal Thank you for your question in regards to tattoo removal. Several treatments are required for tattoo removal. Based on skin type, location of tattoo and the color/amount of ink are all factors that will determine how many treatments if will take. From your photo, it will take several more treatments than just 2-3 to achieve your desired results. To be sure what is best for you, see two or more board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have treatment. I hope this helps.

Answer: Tattoo removal planning Thanks for your question. Tattoo size does not impact the number of sessions needed for removal. You would likely need minimum 6 sessions assuming a laser with high peak power was used. Best,Lisa Vuich, MD

Answer: Laser Tattoo Removal My preference for laser tattoo removal is with the PiQo4 laser that has 4 Pico wavelengths which helps remove 96% of ink faster and safer then older laser systems. With these advanced technologies the average number of sessions for removal is 4-6 but it does vary person to person. I have been practicing tattoo removal for almost 20 years. Dr. Daniel Ritacca

Answer: 2-3 to fade 4-6 for removal This musical red tattoo appears faded and it it has present for years. Older tattoos respond better. However the colors are mainly green, yellow and red. The green color requires a 755 wavelength available on the picosure and the red ink will respond to 532 wavelength. A new 1064 wavelength for black ink will be avaialbe by September .The picosure system with all three wavelengths could lighten this tattoo in 2-3 sessions,although complete removal will require four or more sessions.

Answer: How many sessions- Laser Tattoo removal Thank you for your question. The size of the tattoo does not determine the number of treatments. This would depend on type of ink, color and your Fitzpatrick. Generally all tattoos take 5-6 sessions to remove. Speak with your laser technician about your treatment plan.
