Typically the body takes 4 – 8 weeks to absorb the ink particles, however every tattoo responds differently.  Number of colours in the tattoo, location of the tattoo, age of tattoo are just a few things that affect the removal process.  A tattoo removal consultation will help determine the length of time between treatments and appointment timing. It is important to note that unprotected sun exposure works against the laser tattoo removal process and waiting longer in between treatments just gives the body more time to clear the ink particles.
