Is It Easier to Remove a New Tattoo or a Old One?

There are many factors that affect how readily and completely a Tattoo can beremoved in any individual.  These include type of ink, depth of ink placement inthe skin, location of the Tattoo, color of the ink to mention a few.  Newer Tattoosare not necessarily easier or more difficult to remove.

Thank you for your question! The tattoo needs to be fully healed before undergoing Laser tattoo removal. This takes 4-6 weeks. I use the Picosure laser which 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.
