How Many Tattoo Removal Sessions Will I Need?
Hi, I’m Meg S, an Advanced Senior Therapist here at Pure Emporium.
One of the most popular treatments that I offer at Pure Emporium is Laser and IPL. At Pure Emporium Skin & Laser Clinic, we offer Hair Removal, Tattoo Removal, illumiFacial, Sun Damage & Vascular Treatments and Fractional Laser to help the appearance of Scarring / Stretch marks.
Today I want to talk to you about my experience with Laser Tattoo Removal. I absolutely love the transformative power that this treatment has and I am so happy to be able to offer clients a solution to their unwanted tattoos.
This treatment is really effective and great for those unwanted tattoos that you’ve either grown out of or don’t like the look of anymore. At Pure Emporium Skin & Laser Clinic Hereford, we use a high powered Q-Switch Laser, which is the most effective for removing tattoos. We’re here to help you with your tattoos; whether you just want to fade out the original tattoo for a coverup or a complete removal.
Quick things to remember with tattoo removal:
The number of treatments required can vary from 2-12+ sessions.
Treatments are completed every 8-12 weeks.
The treatment can be uncomfortable (similar sensation to originally having your tattoo), numbing cream is advised. We do aid with pre and post treatment cooling too!
The reason treatments can vary person to person is because everyone’s tattoos will be different. For example: how long they’ve had the tattoo, what kind of tattoo is it (professional/amateur), where on the body it is and the colour of the ink.
All of this plays a big role in how quick the tattoo removal process will be. In most cases, it’s not until the 3rd-6th session where you start to see a big difference with the fading.
However, for microblading/tattoos on the eyebrows, due to the ink sitting much more surface level of the skin, it can often be removed in just 3-4 sessions (as seen with many of my clients).
It’s important to remember that tattoo removal is a journey, and be mindful that it can take as long as 2 years to achieve a complete removal. Each session can only be completed every 8-12 weeks.
The reason for this is because it’s your body’s lymphatic system that will kick in after laser treatment to work to destroy and rid the body of the broken ink particles. Spacing treatments also prevents skin irritation and scarring and ensures the best possible results.
