Most tattoos generally require 4-8 treatments for maximum fading, although some may require more or less treatments. Amateur tattoos often contain more superficially placed pigment. These may require less treatments to achieve significant fading. Older, faded tattoos usually require less treatments than tattoos that are new and brightly colored. It is best to wait at least two months between treatments to allow for optimal fading.
Laser treatment is safe and the risk of scarring, infection or pigmentation changes is low.
Incomplete disappearance of the lesion treated may occur, but usually resolves by repeating the treatment. M.D. For additional information visit our Medical Alliance website.
