Dr. TATTOFF, the laser tattoo removal and laser hair removal experts, is committed to patient education. One of the most common laser tattoo removal questions we get asked is how long it takes to remove a tattoo. In part 5 of our series that answers this tattoo removal question, we’re going to discuss the depth of the tattoo. A tattoo that is covered up by another tattoo has more ink and depth in the skin, therefore requiring more laser tattoo removal treatments than a tattoo that has not been covered over by another tattoo. Also, professional tattoos tend to be deeper in the skin, requiring more laser tattoo removal treatments than amateur tattoos. A very broad answer to the question of how long it will take to remove your tattoo is between 5 and 15 treatments. When you come into a Dr. TATTOFF clinic for a free tattoo removal consultation, we’ll provide you with an estimated number of treatments it will take for your tattoo to be completely gone. After you’ve completed your final treatment of the original estimation, if there is any ink left we will continue to treat you for free for up to a year after the last paid treatment. That’s our laser tattoo removal guarantee, and it’s all part of our commitment to provide you with the best laser tattoo removal services available.
