Deciding to remove a tattoo is a big deal, but knowing what to expect can make you feel more at ease. The process usually involves laser treatments that break down the ink in your skin, allowing your body to gradually clear it out. Keep in mind, though, that every tattoo is different. Things like the colors used and how the tattoo was done can play a big role in how easy or tough it is to remove.
In this blog post we share everything you should expect with laser tattoo removal treatments and how to get the best results. Keep reading to learn more.
Tattoo Colors and Laser Treatment
Different ink colors respond differently to laser treatment. Black ink is generally the easiest to remove, as it absorbs all wavelengths of laser light. Colors like green, blue, and yellow can be more resistant and may require special attention with specific laser settings. At Aesthetic Skin Chicago, we use the advanced Pico Laser which delivers ultra-short pulses of energy to target even the most stubborn ink colors with precision and minimal damage to the surrounding skin.
Number of Treatments: What to Expect
The number of laser sessions you’ll need to fully remove your tattoo depends on several factors, including-
– tattoo’s age
– tattoo size
– depth of the ink
Professional tattoos typically require more treatments than amateur tattoos due to the amount of ink used and the technique. In some cases, 5-10 sessions may be necessary, with down time in between to allow your skin to heal.
