How Many Laser Tattoo Removal Sessions Will You Need?

These days, you no longer have to be stuck with a bad tattoo. In the past laser tattoo removal was a long and tedious process that required 10-20 sessions to clear up a tat. Now, tattoo removal is almost as easy as getting a tattoo in the first place.

At New York Skin & Vein Center we use the best of the best in technology, equipment, and staff. Patients can fade or erase unwanted tattoos in as little as 2-sessions. Before we get into the number of sessions you’ll need, let’s take a look at how laser tattoo removal works.

How Does Laser Tattoo Removal Work?

The Enlighten™ Laser at NYSVC breaks down the tattoo dye and pigments in the skin. Our superior laser technology allows us to precisely target the colors and heat them up in a trillionth of a second. When the dye particles are heated up, they are also broken down allowing your body to naturally reabsorb them. The extreme speed of delivering laser energy allows us to treat the larger and smaller particles better than any other laser. Older darker tattoos typically respond best to laser tattoo removal.

Men and women with tattoos that are newer, lighter or brighter in color may require more treatment sessions. That being said, our laser helps fade tattoos better and faster than the competition. We customize the Enlighten™ Laser treatment sessions for all skin types and colors, making the treatments quick, comfortable, and safe.

How Far Apart Are the Treatments Spaced?

Laser tattoo removal sessions are generally spaced anywhere from 4-8 weeks apart. This allows for the treatment area to fully heal and allows your body to naturally reabsorb the pigment. This is not a process that should be rushed because doing so may lead to scarring or pigmentation problems.

How Long Will It Take for My Tattoo to Disappear?

That depends on a variety of factors. If you’re simply looking to fade your older dark tattoo in preparation for a cover-up, you might be able to get the results you want in as little as two months. If you have a newer lighter tattoo that’s recently been done with dense ink, you should expect the removal process to take longer.

The best way to determine how many sessions you’ll need and how long it will take to erase your unwanted mistake is to schedule a consultation with us. We’ll be able to assess your concerns and customize a treatment plan for your individual circumstances.

★★★★★ 5/5
I’ve now had two procedures with NY Skin & Vein—one injection and one laser treatment. The care providers put me at ease by answering my questions. They’re clearly very experienced and knowledgeable. The staff in the office is professional and warm. I also appreciate their holistic approach to skincare (dermatological & cosmetic injections and laser services, as well as ZO skincare products). Looking forward to my next visit.

What a fantastic group of people that are employed at the Binghamton office. Always treat you like family and put you at ease IF you are the least bit apprehensive about procedures. DR. Stanley Anderson is absolutely amazing. Unbelievable with fantastic results. Love the way he explained EVERY little detail and options.Most appreciative of his patience with me.Highly recommend.
Elaine C.
Doctor Dohner and his staff (at multiple locations I've visited) are all amazing. I visited the Binghamton office today after not being seen in 7 years. I was able to get a quick appointment, when I arrived they had everything ready for me and I was taken right back and had my procedure done. I have never experienced anything but professionalism and compassion from Dr. Dohner. I highly recommend seeing him and his excellent staff for anything vein related.
Robin S.
I went in to get my lips enhanced and some fillers. Though it wasn't the most pleasant procedure I've ever gone through. Erin and Dr. Dohner kept my mind busy with their witty and funny banter. My lips look great! Dr. Dohner and his staff are professional, compassionate, and they make sure you are comfortable and ready for your procedures. They will definitely be seeing more of me.
Constance B.
I came to Dr. Dohner with aching/ throbbing, leg pain, bulging veins, and tired/heavy legs. Dr. Dohner did an in office vein procedure to fix my veins. The office got me in to have the procedure within one week, before the new year because I had already met my deductible. What a wonderful experience. Thank You everyone so much.
B.W.
I came to see Dr. Dohner because my legs really ached, and I had a difficult time to put a sock on my left leg because of swelling and tender to the touch. He did an in office procedure to close my veins. I can now put my sock on with no problem. I walk a lot better and can climb stairs without them aching. It was great that I didn’t have to fast and could be awake during the procedure.
