Why Multiple Sessions?

  1. 1

    Baseline & Test

    Initial settings, safety confirmed. Early fragmentation begins.

  2. 2–3

    Early Fade

    Noticeable softening as superficial layers clear.

  3. 4–6

    Deeper Layers

    Parameters adjusted to reach deeper, denser pigment.

  4. 7–10

    Refinement

    Residual colours & edges refined; optional cover-up prep.

Typical spacing: 6–8 weeks between sessions to allow for immune clearance and skin recovery.

Black / Grey

Usually responds fastest; often nearer the 6–8 session range.

Multi-colour

Reds/greens/blues may need extra passes; expect fading vs instant clearance.

Amateur vs Professional

Amateur ink is often shallower and clears sooner; professional can be denser/deeper.

Placement & Age

Older ink and well-circulated areas may fade more predictably.

  • Gradual fading as fragments clear

FAQs

How does laser tattoo removal work?

Ultra-short pulses from the Nd:YAG laser break ink into microparticles that are gradually cleared by your immune system.

Does it hurt?

Most describe a quick, warm snap. Cooling and topical numbing can be used to enhance comfort.

How many sessions will I need?

Generally 6–10 sessions spaced 6–8 weeks apart, depending on colour, depth, density, and age of the tattoo.

Can all colours be removed?

Black responds fastest. Reds/greens/blues often need additional sessions and may fade rather than fully disappear.

Is it safe for all skin tones?

Yes — with tailored parameters, Nd:YAG treatment is suitable across Fitzpatrick I–VI.

Will it leave a scar?

Scarring risk is low when performed professionally. We assess history and adjust energy settings to support healing.
