How Long Does It Take to Remove
a Tattoo Using Medical Laser
Equipment?
• Every patient seems worried and concerned about the duration of the removal
process and the time it takes to completely remove the tattoo from your body.
Many people decide to undergo a treatment considering the time it takes to
get desired results. Many women would want to remove it before a special
event, but it is not always possible to get quick results. So many factors play a
role here, including the ability of your body to eliminate ink from the surface of
your skin. In some cases, it takes up to a year to completely eliminate ink, but
it may not take that long for some people to get results. Therefore, you should
discuss it with the specialist before setting any expectations upfront.
• Depending on your skin tone, you may have to wait for at least six weeks
between laser sessions to give your skin ample time to heal. It also depends on
your body's immune system to respond properly to the treatment and flush
away ink in a short time. Keep in mind that it can take longer – more than eight
weeks – for people with darker complexions to see results from laser tattoo
removal. You should understand that going for consecutive treatments too
early would not produce better results, but it could damage your skin and lead
to permanent side effects. The use of especially designed medical laser
equipment has really lowered risk of side effects, but your skin type and
immune system will play a role here. Therefore, it is a good idea to wait for at
least three months between consecutive treatments.
