How many sessions will it take to remove a tattoo with Lasers?

It is impossible for anyone to predict how many sessions you will need to remove or fade down your tattoo. This is because as well as their being great variability in ink used to make up a tattoo especially coloured ink, but also that the speed of tattoo removal can also be dependent on your immune system and how effectively your body breaks down the fragmented ink.

At The FadeAway laser clinic I use the latest laser technology so that you can be assured that you are getting the fastest removal possible but it is very difficult for me to give you an accurate assessment of how many sessions you will need. We have had some amazing results after just one or two sessions but for some people a number of sessions has been needed for the tattoo to be removed.

How many sessions will I need?

This is a question that understandably everybody asks so I always like to give them a worst-case scenario. As a guide do expect to need up to 6 sessions for a fade down, and between 8-12 for complete removal. Having said that I have removed tattoos in around 4 sessions and had clients happy with the amount of fade down in just 2 sessions, but this will not be the case for everybody.

Planning your laser tattoo removal

Tattoo Removal and holidays – Please do let me know during a consultation or treatment if you have any holidays booked. This is so that I can schedule sessions appropriately for you. Laser Tattoo removal can leave the area treated slightly sore (almost like having mild sunburn) and it will need to be looked after by you, and kept out of the sun.

Although infection is very rare it may be difficult for you to look after it properly on holiday, and activities such as swimming or being on a beach can increase the risk of infection. Also if you are going to be doing anything active such as running / cycling or diving it would be advisable to plan sessions around this.

It is also advisable not to have a session of laser tattoo removal when you have a new suntan (real or fake), so do let me know and we can always plan sessions around any holidays or activities you may have planned.
