A tattoo green and yellow tattoo on the hand reached 75% fading after 7 sessions at Skin Renew London over 2 years.
After 7 sessions at Skin Renew London.
The tattoo
A medium green and yellow tattoo on the hand.
The hands have limited circulation and lymphatic drainage, making them one of the hardest locations for ink clearance.
Timeline
7 sessions at 6 months intervals accounts for roughly 156 weeks of active treatment.
The laser
Skin Renew London treated this case with the Picostar, a picosecond platform.
For green and yellow ink, it operates at 532 nm with a pulse duration of 300 ps.
PicoSure's native 755nm wavelength excels on green and blue-green pigments.
Bottom line
Tattoos on the hand clear more slowly than torso work due to restricted circulation. Realistic timelines here run longer than average.
The last 5 to 10 percent of clearance is consistently the hardest phase: residual ink sits deepest, immune response slows, and the composition of what remains is unknown.
