How Long Will It Take to Remove a All Black Tattoo the Size of a Quarter on my Right Hand? Backside. (photo)

You are not alone. An estimated 20 million Americans sport tattoos. Laser technology has made great strides in eliminating tattoos. The laser's short pulses of intense light pass harmlessly through the top layers of the skin and are absorbed by the tattoo pigment. This causes the tattoo pigment to fragment into smaller particles that are then removed by the body's immune system. With the array of state-of-the-art lasers, these all help to remove tattoos of all colors, shapes, and sizes, but it will take several treatments.

This can be removed in as few as 4 sessions 8 weeks apart with the new picosure laser combined with r20. The fee per session is cost effective compared to traditional q switched lasers which can require 12 or more sessions. since time is of the essence in joining the military this is the most cost effective approach and will cost 600-800 total for a course of treatment .

The PicoSure laser from Cynosure is the laser which will remove this tattoo in the fewest number of sessions in my opinion although different manufacturers say different things.  I have used several lasers (but not all) and find it to work very well.  I have seen MANY people in your situation of wanting to join a police force or the military or even work at an amusement park and unable to do so because of a tattoo.
