What to expect with laser tattoo removal
- You may have incomplete resolution of the tattoo or “Ghosting" as it's sometimes referred to as
- Lots of treatments, 47% of tattoos require up to 10 sessions and 26% require more than 15 sessions
- Response will be reduced if you are:
- a smoker
- the colours used in the tattoo are any other than black
- it's larger than 30 square centimetres
- on your feet or legs
- is more than three years old
- It can be painful and you might need analgesia (pain relief) prescribed for you
- Your skin may scar or darken
- Believe it or not amateur tattoos generally resolve better than professional ones because the ink isn't deposited as well in the skin.
