amount of additional paid sessions based on the
tattoo’s progress, but beyond those, I will continue to
treat the patient until the removal is maximized, at no
additional cost to them. This is intended to alleviate a
very commonly encountered situation where patients
are perpetually over-charged with no end in sight,
simply because it is “cosmetic”. I would personally
never want to be trapped in that loophole, so I make a
point to free my patients of that worry.
How many procedures does an average tattoo take
to remove and how long from start to finish?
I have had procedures that are done in a single session,
I have seen other cases that have taken up to eight or
more sessions and we are still seeing some lingering
pigment. While the latter tends to be less common, I
can usually achieve satisfactory results at between four
and six sessions on average. While this is a very rough
estimate due to the amount of factors I consider when
planning a removal, it puts a meaningful removal within
a realistic goal at my clinic.
What is the best way to find out if you are a great
candidate for tattoo removal?
Come in for a consultation! I love to meet people,
hear their stories, and learn how I can alleviate their
worries and educate them about tattoo removal!
Best of all, it’s free!
