I got this half sleeve only a month ago and I absolutely hate it on me.. I feel like I ruined myself.. all I read is negative results from laser removal. Do I have a chance of removing this tattoo fully? Please help me with honest answers

Answer: Sleeve tattoo removal The only way to remove that tattoo would be with laser. Laser should be successful, but you should expect the process to take more than a year to complete. It will require multiple laser treatments, each separated by 6-12 weeks. Usually 10-12 weeks between treatments is what I recommend. It is impossible to know exactly how many treatments will be needed. That will depend on many factors, including the type of laser that is used. A 1065nm picosecond laser, such as Enlighten, will probably give you the most complete results with the fewest number of treatments. But you should still expect to need between 5-10 treatments and it could require more. There is always a chance that a tattoo will not be able to be completely removed, but if you really hate it, I think its worth trying. I think there is a very good chance of success.

Answer: I am sorry this has happened to you. Thank you for your question. Yes, you can have this tattoo removed as long as it is fully healed. I use the Picosure laser in my practice. Picosure has a short pulse duration that exceeds photothermal action and results in an intense photomechanical impact. This adds up to faster results and fewer treatments when compared to other tattoo removal methods. It works best on darker inks such as black and blue. The number of sessions required to remove a tattoo can range from 6-10 sessions. The amount of sessions depends on the size, color and placement of the tattoo. The further the tattoo is from the heart the more time it will take to remove. I hope this information helps.
