How many treatments do I need?
The number of sessions required for laser tattoo removal using the Enlighten 3 Pico laser can vary depending on various factors, including the size, colour, depth, and complexity of the tattoo, as well as individual factors such as skin type and the body's response to treatment.
In general, multiple treatment sessions are necessary to achieve optimal results. Most individuals typically require a series of 5 to 10 sessions, spaced approximately 6 to 8 weeks apart. However, it's important to note that this is an estimate, and the exact number of sessions needed will be determined during a consultation with our skin specialists.
During each session, the Enlighten 3 Pico laser will target the tattooed area, breaking down the tattoo ink into smaller particles. Over time, the body's immune system will gradually eliminate these fragmented ink particles.

It's important to follow the recommended treatment schedule and allow adequate time between sessions to allow for proper healing and the body's natural elimination of the tattoo ink. With patience and adherence to the treatment plan, laser tattoo removal using the Enlighten 3 Pico laser can effectively help fade or remove unwanted tattoos.
