Before (session 0) and after (session 5) at Reset Room.


The tattoo

A medium black tattoo on the upper arm, less than 1 year old when treatment began.

The upper arm is close to the axillary lymph nodes, which supports efficient clearance between sessions.

Fresh tattoos start at full ink density with no prior fading, so the laser encounters them at their heaviest point.

Timeline

5 sessions at 3 months intervals accounts for roughly 52 weeks of active treatment.

The laser

Reset Room treated this case with the Picoway, a picosecond platform.

For black ink, it operates at 1064 nm with a pulse duration of 240 - 450 ps.

Mike from GO describes PicoWay as a monster on black ink, and it is his personal choice for black ink removal.
