I just began treatments on three small, all black tattoos. I was told by my provider that I could come back in 4 weeks, although general consensus seems to dictate a longer wait. I'm Caucasian and my skin is fairly pale (but I don't burn easily, just tan gradually if I'm in the sun). The tattoos range from 1 - 3 years old. They are all black. I just had my first treatment three days ago and haven't seen much blistering, just slight redness.
Answer: Wait time between treatments No, 4 weeks wait time should be fine between treatments for the Q-switched laser. The longer you wait, the more time your body has to absorb the ink, but you always have to weigh that against your timeframe for ridding yourself of your tattoo.

Answer: Four weeks between treatments is a normal interval for laser tattoo removal. Four weeks between treatments is a normal interval for laser tattoo removal. In some areas closer to the heart where there is better blood circulation and healing is faster, the interval may even be shortened to 2 or three week. It is important that the previous treatment is completely healed without any scabs or skin surface alternations. Treatments may also be stacked with 2 treatments on the same day separated by 20 minutes (the R20) method. Picosecond lasers also heal faster so the interval on some tattoos can also be shortened when using a picosecond laser such as the PicoSure, PicoWay or Enlighten and some newer picosecond lasers just entering the marketplace.

Answer: Tattoo four week interval The longer between tattoo sessions the more effective the session because the body needs to absorb the ink. I personally prefer a 8 week interval between sessions to minimize the number of sessions and remove more ink.
