A tattoo black tattoo on the upper arm, forearm reached complete removal after 3 sessions at Tattoo removers ink over 1 year.
After 3 sessions at Tattoo removers ink.
The tattoo
A medium black tattoo on the upper arm, forearm, more than 10 years old when treatment began.
The forearm drains adequately but sits further from the major lymph nodes of the torso.
Older ink benefits from years of natural immune-driven fading: macrophages have been working on the particles throughout the tattoo's life, reducing effective density before treatment begins.
Timeline
3 sessions at 12 weeks intervals accounts for roughly 24 weeks of active treatment.
The total reported duration was 1 year, which means roughly 27 weeks of gaps between sessions.
That spacing sits at the longer end of the accepted range, giving the lymphatic system more time to clear fragmented particles between passes.
Complete clearance in 3 sessions is at the faster end of what this type of tattoo typically requires.
The laser
Tattoo removers ink treated this case with the Enlighten, a picosecond platform.
For black ink, it operates at 1064 nm with a pulse duration of 660 ps, 750 ps & 2 ns.
