How Does a Tattoo Fade?

One of the questions we are often asked about the laser tattoo removal process is what will my tattoo look like after each treatment? Will parts of it go away? Will it just appear lighter?
It is difficult to explain exactly what a tattoo looks like while someone is undergoing the process. So we have taken some example of our clients for you to get a better idea of what it's like to undergo laser tattoo removal procedure. Of course, these clients are not done yet with their treatments, but they're almost there.

This is a tattoo on the arm. This client was treated with multiple lasers due to the different colors in the tattoo. Different colors require lasers with different wavelengths.

After the first laser tattoo treatment, you notice the shading is completely gone. After the second laser tattoo treatment, the pink is almost gone. After the third laser treatment, you notice a lot more fading on the outlines of the tattoo. Most black ink tattoos at Pristine Laser Center need 6 to 10 laser tattoo removal treatments while the color ink tattoos generally need less.
