How many laser tattoo removal treatments will you need?
Once you’ve decided to say goodbye to your ink, you’ll no doubt want to know how many sessions it takes and how long it will take to remove a tattoo.
So how many sessions does it take?
There are three main factors to consider when assessing the number of sessions you’ll need to remove your unwanted tattoo: your chosen treatment, your individual tattoo, and your health and well-being before and after treatment.
We use unique laser technology, which is gentle on your skin and means we can treat your tattoo quicker than other laser treatments. At NAAMA, because of our unique laser technology, you can expect complete tattoo removal to take months, not years, as our previous clients have experienced.
To remove the guesswork and session counting throughout your tattoo removal journey, we recommend our full removal package, which offers complete removal for one fixed price.

The factors that affect how many sessions it takes to remove a tattoo:
Choice of treatment
When it comes to getting rid of unwanted tattoos, you’ll want to choose a treatment option that has a low risk of scarring or skin blistering. We use the skin-safe LightSense® laser system, which is a revolutionary method that breaks down the tattoo ink particles using exceptionally high speed and ultra-low levels of laser energy.
This leading technology means you can have treatments with less downtime between laser tattoo removal sessions (as often as every 2-3 weeks in some cases) rather than waiting 6-8 weeks between appointments, which can be how traditional laser tattoo removal works.
Our low-energy laser significantly reduces any chance of blistering, scarring or lasting damage, which means less downtime between treatments and fast tattoo removal results.
Your individual tattoo
When it comes to looking at how many laser sessions you’ll need for your tattoo, it's important to take into account factors such as:
Your skin tone - tattoos on darker skin tones can take longer to remove
Ink density - large tattoos with dense inks might require longer to break down
Your tattoo colors - darker tattoo inks can require more treatment
The location on your skin - where you're tattooed can affect your treatment
Our team of nurses will give you a customized treatment plan with a more precise idea of how many sessions your tattoo will need for removal.
Your general well-being
Many people don’t realize the impact that your health and well-being have on the success of your tattoo removal. When you're getting your tattoo removed, by reducing your alcohol intake, avoiding tobacco and following a balanced diet, you can build a strong immune system to help break down the ink particles more quickly for an optimal result. And the faster the ink is flushed out of your body - the fewer tattoo removal sessions you’ll need.
