After 6 sessions at Removery.


The tattoo

A large black tattoo on the upper arm, 5–10 yrs old when treatment began.

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

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

6 sessions over 1 year.

Sessions were spaced 8 weeks apart.

Complete clearance in 6 sessions is at the faster end of what this type of tattoo typically requires.

Cost

Removery did not share a total cost. For reference, the average per-session rate in Denver runs $149 to $463, which would put a 6-session treatment in the $894 to $2,778 range.
