A tattoo black and red tattoo on the skin reached 75% fading after 3 sessions at Docteur Tatoo over 1 year and 3 months.
Before (session 0) and after (session 3) at Docteur Tatoo.
The tattoo
A medium black and red tattoo on the skin.
Timeline
3 sessions at 4-6 months intervals accounts for roughly 36 weeks of active treatment.
The total reported duration was 1 year and 3 months, which means roughly 28 weeks of gaps between sessions.
That spacing sits at the longer end of the accepted range, giving the lymphatic system more time to clear fragmented particles between passes.
The laser
Docteur Tatoo treated this case with the PicoPlus, a picosecond platform.
For black and red ink, it operates at 1064 nm with a pulse duration of 450 ps.
For black and red ink, it operates at 532 nm with a pulse duration of 450 ps.
Bottom line
The last 5 to 10 percent of clearance is consistently the hardest phase: residual ink sits deepest, immune response slows, and the composition of what remains is unknown.
