There are different factors that contribute to how many sessions are needed. In some cases, one session can remove a tattoo, but in most cases, 3-8 sessions are required for complete removal. After your first session, we will have a better idea as to how many sessions you will need.

1. What type of pigment/ink is to be removed. Tattoo ink is made up of large molecules. Pigment is made up of smaller molecules. Our bodies cannot metabolize tattoo ink and that is why the tattoo is permanent and is more difficult to remove.
2. How recently the tattoo was done. Older tattoos are typically easier to remove and will require less sessions.
3. How deep the pigment was implanted. The deeper the pigment, the more sessions are required.
4. How saturated the pigment. The more saturated the more sessions will be required.
5. Location of the tattoo on the body. (a chest tattoo is easier to remove than an ankle tattoo, for example. Less friction)
6. Sensitivity of the skin. If the skin reacts to the deracination process and gets inflamed after only 1 pass, more sessions may be needed, depending on the depth and saturation of the ink.
7. How well the aftercare instructions are followed. The Healing Masks will help to accelerate the healing process.

The natural healing process can take between 4-8 weeks to fully recover depending on the size and location of the skin worked on. The longer the period to recover, the greater the healing results will be. A follow up appointment cannot be before 4 weeks. Additional Healing Masks may be purchased to help speed up wound healing process.

• You will be given complete aftercare instructions on the day of your appointment as well as a cleanser and an ointment to aid in healing
• No sweating for the first 3-5 days in order to keep the area clean and avoid infection risk.
• Once the scabs have flaked off, you must wear an SPF of 30 or more containing Zinc to protect the treated area.
• The area must be kept clean at all times during the healing process.
• No saunas, pools, hot tubs, extensive exercising or tight clothes if treated area is covered by clothes.
• No application of cosmetics on the treated area until the scabbing has flaked off.
• Incorporating pineapple, Vitamin C supplements and collagen peptides in your diet help in speeding up healing process.

• If the area of the tattoo is inflamed, injured, or sunburned, tattoo removal will need to wait until the skin has healed and recovered completely. If you have undiagnosed lesions, weeping acne, warts, and rosacea on or near the treated area, we will not be able to do removal until the skin has healed.
• Pregnant and/or nursing women are not recommended to have the UNDO tattoo removal treatment.
• Clients who are undergoing chemotherapy are not suitable for tattoo removal. You will be at a greater risk of infection and skin changes. Minor skin problems are also common such as rashes, itching, peeling, redness, dryness, and increased sensitivity.
• Those with a history of keloid scarring are also not suitable candidates for non laser tattoo removal.
• If you have diabetes and you don’t have it controlled, you are generally not advised to undergo a tattoo as well as have a tattoo removed. Diabetics are especially prone to uncontrolled bleeding, blistering, and infection.
