How many treatments are required to remove a tattoo? How long does the overall process take?
That depends on the size, age and location of the tattoo. Some large tattoos are so big they can't be covered in one session, thus requiring more appointments. Also, older tattoos are harder to remove as over time the pigment goes deeper within the skin. Keep in mind that intervals of 6 to 8 weeks between tattoo-removal sessions are mandatory. Therefore an 8-session process can take slightly more than a year.
