Medium Multicolor Tattoo: 50% Fading After 5 Sessions at Adriana Vilarinho
A medium multicolor tattoo on the forearm has reached 50% fading after 5 sessions at Adriana Vilarinho over 1.5 years. Treatment is ongoing.
Session 5.
Where things stand
50% fading after 5 sessions over 1.5 years. Sessions have been spaced 3-4 months apart.
Medium multicolor tattoo on the forearm, on Type III skin, approximately < 1 yr old at the start of treatment.
The laser
Its 755nm wavelength is the primary option for blue and green inks. PicoSure's 755nm wavelength is described as particularly effective for blue, green, and blue-based purple.
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.
