Before (session 0) and after (6 sessions) at Dermacare.


The tattoo

Blue, tattoo on the forearm, on Type I skin, approximately 1–5 yrs old at the start of treatment.

The timeline

6 sessions at intervals of 6-8 weeks. Total treatment time: 1 years. 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.

The cost

$704 across 6 sessions works out to $117 per session. Reputable removal providers charge roughly $350 to $700 per treatment. That rate is well below the typical range, which points to package pricing rather than per-session billing.
