How many treatment sessions will it take to remove the tattoo?
Professionally drawn tattoos may require 5-10 treatments. Homemade tattoos usually require only 1-4 treatments. The number of treatments depends on several factors: the amount of ink, type and color of ink used, and the depth of the ink in the skin. Treatments are spaced 6-8 weeks apart.

Do all colors of ink disappear equally as well?
No; dark (blue/black) inks and red inks fade best. Oranges, yellows, and purples usually respond well. Green and light teal/sky blue inks are the most difficult to remove, although multiple treatments can produce excellent results.

Will the tattoo disappear completely?
In many cases, yes. However, it is very important to know that over 100 different tattoo inks are in use worldwide today and none of them are regulated by the FDA. Not knowing which tattoo ink or how deep or how much was use makes it difficult to predict the degree of removal on any given tattoo.

How much does the treatment cost?
Fees are determined during your consultation. Factors determining price are the color of the inks, type of ink, and the depth of a tattoo. High quality, professional tattoos may require more treatments since there is more ink and it reaches deeper in the skin.
