One of the questions we get asked all the time about laser tattoo removal at Dr. TATTOFF is how long does it take to remove a tattoo? There are many factors that go into properly estimating how long your tattoo removal will take and it’s different for each person (and even different for each tattoo that person wants removed), so for the fastest answer to that question most people choose to come into a Dr. TATTOFF clinic for a free laser tattoo removal consultation. On this tattoo removal blog, we’ll cover the factors that affect how long it will take to remove your tattoo in a few different posts. One of the biggest individual tattoo removal factors your own immune system. The laser only fragments the tattoo ink into very small parts. It’s your own immune system that allows for the actual tattoo removal, as the fragmented ink is swept away in your blood stream and cleared out of your body. Since everyone’s immune system is different, your body will break down the tattoo at its own individual rate. Visit www.DrTATTOFF.com for more answers to your laser tattoo removal questions.
