One of the most searched questions in Edmonton:
“How many sessions will it take to remove my tattoo?”
The honest answer?
It depends.
Any clinic giving an exact number before your skin responds is estimating, not predicting.
Here’s what actually determines session count.
Typically, black ink responds the fastest, while red, green, and blue may require more tattoo removal sessions. White and cosmetic pigments behave differently and could change colour before they fade and in rare cases could become darker.
Black ink tattoos often fade more predictably, which is why we, at Bush Whacked Laser, offer our black ink treatment guarantee for new, untreated tattoos.
.
Professional tattoos tend to be deeper, and more saturated with pigment. This means the laser has further to travel through the skin and the ink may be more stubborn to break up.
Amateur tattoos often fade faster but can be more inconsistent due to the uneven depth, saturation and quality of ink used.
Layered or cover-up tattoos usually require more removal sessions. Because of the multiple layers of ink.
Laser breaks the pigment into tiny particles that your body clears out through your lymphatic system.
This is why we space treatments 8–10 weeks apart. Timing matters. If you come too soon your body has not had enough time to effectively remove all of the previously broken particles.
Healing time influences results. True results come from patience.
Some tattoos fade quickly. Others slow down after session 4 or 5.
Pre-selling 10 sessions assumes a timeline before we see how your body responds.
The talented and fully certified technicians here at Bush Whacked laser will help you see visible fading after the first treatment.
