Last week i had my first laser tattoo removal session and a friend of mine went to a different place for her first session aswell. Our tattoos are quite similar, however he booked me in for my second session two weeks later were as she was told she had to wait at least a month before her second session. Is there a time gap you have to wait between sessions?

Answer: Waiting in Between Sessions Hello, Great Question! The laser's job is to break the ink up into little pieces and then those pieces just sit in the same spot until your immune system sends in little cells to gobble it up and take it away. The more time you give to let your body eat up the broken up ink the less treatments you will most likely do. Also, if you are using a picosecond laser, like the PicoWay, you will want to spread your treatments out to 8-12 weeks in between because they break up so much more ink you need to give it the time to clear. Another thing to consider is where it is on your body. The further away from your heart your tattoo is then waiting longer is essential. For example, a tattoo on the chest will clear faster than one on the ankle. One last thing, true skin healing takes 8-12 weeks, so if you continue to do too many treatments prior to letting your skin heal you will cause scar tissue and will most likely trap in remaining ink.

Answer: Tattoo Removal We suggest 6-8 weeks between treatments to heal completely. You cannot have any skin irritation, open wounds, etc. The skin must be completely healed and not sensitive.
