Q: How long does large tattoo removal take?

Tattoo removal doesn’t happen all at once. It requires multiple sessions which must be spaced at least six weeks apart. During each session, the tattoo is faded more.

Question 1

Does it hurt to remove large tattoos all at once?

Accepted Answer

The tattoo removal process can feel uncomfortable during the session and for a short time afterward, but most people do not experience extreme discomfort. Removal feels more like being snapped with a rubber band.

A laser removal session takes slightly longer with a large tattoo, so you could experience that discomfort for a few more minutes. However, that doesn’t mean it feels more intense. The method used is no different.

Afterward, you may feel like you have a sunburn for a few hours. That could feel slightly more uncomfortable on a larger area of skin than a smaller section. Take extra care to wear loose clothing that won’t rub against that area.

Question 2

How long does large tattoo removal take?

Accepted Answer

Tattoo removal doesn&rsquo;t happen all at once. It requires multiple sessions which must be spaced at least six weeks apart. During each session, the tattoo is faded more.

Question 3

How bad is scarring from the removal of large tattoos?

Accepted Answer

Scarring from tattoo removal is a thing of the past. It is no more likely to occur when removing a large tattoo than a small one, as long as you follow the aftercare instructions.

The noninvasive Picoway laserdoes not cause scarringbecause this technology has an extremely short pulse duration. That means the energy pulses generated by the laser are in the skin for an incredibly minute period of time. As a result, the thermal impact is minuscule.

Regardless of the size, following the simple guidelines provided by your laser technician will ensure the best results. Going out in the sun while your skin is healing can cause damage, which could pose more of a challenge with a larger area of skin in a prominent place—but that’s an easily avoidable issue.

Question 4

Can I remove only part of the tattoo?

Accepted Answer

You can remove as much or as little of the tattoo as you like. You can remove a segment of it or have a complete cover up done over part of the design—the choice is entirely yours. most tattoo artists chose Laser Tattoo Removal as the preferred method for cover up fading.

Question 5

How long does each session take?

Accepted Answer

For large tattoos, removal generally takes 5 to 10 minutes. In comparison, smaller tattoos usually take just a minute or two per session.
