How Much Fading Should I Expect After Three Laser Tattoo Removal Treatments on Ankle? (photo)

December 29, 2011
Asked By:kkelley474 in Atlanta, GA

I have a multi-colored tattoo on my left outer ankle, approximately 1 inch in area, 15 years old. I have had three laser removal treatments spaced 6-8 weeks apart with a Versapulse VPC laser used each time. I understand that laser tattoo removal is a long process requiring multiple treatments and will likely not remove all of the tattoo, but I see very little difference in color. I am wondering if I should continue on with the current laser, find another method of removal or just live with it.
