Body Tattoo Removal Brisbane

The number of sessions varies from person to person. It depends on the colours in the tattoo, how saturated the ink is, how deep it sits in the skin, the size and location of the tattoo, and whether the goal is full removal or lightening for a cover-up. Some tattoos respond faster than others, while multicolour tattoos often need a longer treatment plan.

Treatment intervals depend on how the tattoo responds and how the skin heals. Sessions are spaced to allow the skin to recover and the body time to clear fragmented pigment before the next treatment.
