How many sessions will it take to remove my tattoo?

The number of sessions varies, depending on your tattoo’s specifications. Larger tattoos with more colors will take longer to fade. It’s normal to need anywhere from 6 to 10 sessions to completely fade a tattoo with laser tattoo removal. In Annandale, your provider at Beyond Esthetics can walk you through exactly what to expect for your specific tattoo.

Will this completely remove my tattoo?

In most cases, yes, although we cannot fully guarantee this depending on the tattoo itself. Darker, smaller tattoos are generally easier to fade. With some tattoos, it’s possible that a faint outline may remain, even after completing a series of treatments. During your consultation for laser tattoo removal in Annandale, we talk you through the results you can expect based on the tattoo you want removed.

What should I expect after my treatments?

After each session, expect some redness, swelling, or peeling in the treated area. The skin may feel tender or slightly itchy for a couple of days. A scab or crust may form over the tattoo as it heals—this is normal and should not be picked at. Avoid sun exposure, hot baths, or swimming until fully healed. Over the next few weeks, the tattoo will fade, but you may need multiple sessions for complete removal. Your provider always provides specific aftercare instructions to ensure safe, effective healing.
