How many sessions do you need to remove a tattoo with a laser?

Bad and low-quality tattoos often arise not through the fault of the wearer, but because of the inexperience of the master who makes them.

Curved lines, flowing paint, blurry lines, and the inaccuracy of the original image are some of the most common complaints people have about bad tattoos.

Very often, a drawing can be overlapped by a professional with another picture, but only it should be at least 60% larger than the previous tattoo, so that you can correctly transfer the emphasis and close the old drawing well.

But not everyone is ready to get a big tattoo, and sometimes there is no room for overlap at all! In such cases, professional tattoo artists recommend removing the tattoo.

What is laser tattoo removal? This is a procedure in which a laser breaks down the dye under the skin and helps it flush out of the body faster. No, you won't be able to "get" the tattoo right away, it takes time!

Removal is a little more painful than the process of tattooing and the first time changes will not always be noticeable. But don't be scared! Changes will become noticeable after 3 sessions, and then the drawing will begin to disappear from your body more and more easily.

The higher the quality of your tattoo paint, the fewer sessions will be needed for its complete disappearance - about 6-7. But if the tattoo was applied in several layers, with cheap paint and, worse, with an inept hand, then it may take up to 10-15 approaches to completely remove it.

A frequent question to the masters about the removal is that it is possible to carry out 5 sessions at once in one day? I must say right away that it is impossible! Let me explain why.

Firstly, during the session, the skin is traumatized, and it is very painful to carry out the laser beam several times in the same place! It's like sitting and cutting your hand on purpose in the same place several times in a row.

Secondly, there should be a break of at least a month between each removal session. It is simply pointless to carry out several sessions at once, since the laser beam simply cannot cope with it! It will only be possible to break up whole "capsules" in which the paint is located, but their size will not matter.

With each session, the capsules will become smaller and smaller, and come out faster and faster. Please be patient and you will not regret the result. Be sure to follow through, don't give up deletion sessions. "Unfinished" tattoos look much worse than just low-quality ones.
