I made the decision to remove a tattoo I got in may or this year. I started the removal process late august and just had my third session a few weeks ago. I haven't seen a lot of changes and I was wondering that is normal. I've spent a lot of money thus far and if I could find something better and more effective elsewhere I would definitely do so.
Answer: It’s good that you ask your technician about the laser that was used for the removal. Thank you for your question and photographs. It’s good that you ask your technician about the laser that was used for the removal. Picosure laser works faster and removes the ink better than Q-Switch lasers. In my office, I like to use Picosure laser which has a short pulse duration that exceeds photothermal action and results in an intense photomechanical impact. It works best on darker inks such as black and blue and on all types of skin. The number of sessions required to remove a tattoo can range from 6-10 sessions. I recommend you consult an expert in laser tattoo removal to determine the best treatment plan for you. All the best!
