Black And Yellow Tattoo: 50% Fading After 6 Sessions at Bye Bye Ink
A black and yellow tattoo on the upper back has reached 50% fading after 6 sessions at Bye Bye Ink over 1 years. Treatment is ongoing.
Session 1, Session 6, Session 7.
Where things stand
50% fading after 6 sessions over 1 years.
Black and yellow, tattoo on the upper back. Yellow ink is unlikely to be fully removed. It falls outside the effective wavelength range of current lasers.
The laser
is a picosecond laser. For black ink, it operates at 1064nm with a pulse duration of 240 to 450 ps.
What comes next
The last 5 to 10 percent of clearance is the hardest: the remaining ink tends to be deepest, and the combination of unknown ink composition, depth, scar tissue, and immune response slows progress. Yellow ink is unlikely to be fully removed. It falls outside the effective wavelength range of current lasers.
