Standard tattoos, which typically use coarse, impurity-laden ink pigments, present greater treatment challenges than eyebrow or eyeliner tattoos. Complete removal usually requires 3-5 sessions, with some patients needing longer treatment periods.Color tattoos present greater treatment challenges than standard ones, requiring more sessions with a 2-month interval between treatments. Since this laser causes minimal skin damage, it generally leaves no scars and fully restores the skin's natural color. However, individuals with keloid-prone skin may experience scarring reactions. Patients should disclose this information to the tattoo removal clinic before treatment.
Individual responses to laser treatment vary significantly, compounded by differences in tattoo severity. Consequently, the number of sessions required per person can differ greatly. Due to the characteristics of Asian skin, some patients may experience hyperpigmentation. Typically, tattoo removal specialists implement preventive measures to minimize this risk. Even if hyperpigmentation occurs in rare cases, it usually resolves spontaneously within months without requiring special treatment.
Visual perception of color changes is relatively slow. You may only notice treatment results when approximately 50% of the lesion's color has faded. Generally, if the original blue hue turns brown after one session, it indicates about 50% pigment reduction. The treated area may experience varying degrees of skin swelling (individual responses differ) and may show mild bleeding, which are normal treatment reactions.
