How Long Does It Take to Remove a Tattoo?

There different lasers available for tattoo removal such as the YAG or RUBY Laser.  It usually requires 8-10 treatments for significant fading. The treatments are given one month apart.

Having a tattoo removed using a laser, will usually generate very nice results in time.  Typically, most tattoos will disappear or come close to disappearing after approximately 6 treatments.  Between each treatment you will have to wait about 4 weeks for the skin to heal.  The colors in the tattoo can also determine how many sessions you may need.  Green and yellow pigments tend to take more treatments for the color to go away.  I would contact your plastic surgeon to see how many treatments he thinks would be needed for it to be removed.
