black tattoo before laser removal

After 2 sessions at Tattoo Removal Expert in Chiswick.


The tattoo

A medium black tattoo on the skin, more than 10 years old when treatment began.

Older ink benefits from years of natural immune-driven fading: macrophages have been working on the particles throughout the tattoo's life, reducing effective density before treatment begins.

Timeline

2 sessions over 3 months.

The laser

Tattoo Removal Expert in Chiswick treated this case with the PicoSure, a picosecond platform.

For black ink, it operates at 1064 nm with a pulse duration of 550 - 750 ps.

PicoSure's black ink adapter (1064nm) is considered largely ineffective by most experienced providers; the native 755nm is its strength.
