Before (session 0) and after (32 sessions) at Dallas Tattoo Removal Clinic.
The tattoo
Small multicolor tattoo on the neck, approximately 5–10 yrs old at the start of treatment. Yellow ink is unlikely to be fully removed. It falls outside the effective wavelength range of current lasers.
The laser
The Quanta Q-Plus C has been discontinued, with parts and service availability declining.
The timeline
32 sessions at intervals of 4-6 weeks. Total treatment time: 3 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
$3,200 across 32 sessions works out to $100 per session. The typical range from clinics in this area is $152 to $482 per session in Dallas. That rate is well below the typical range, which points to package pricing rather than per-session billing.
