2 months ago
I have an old tattoo that I deeply regret, but I’ve heard removal is painful and takes months. How effective are today’s laser tattoo removal technologies, especially for colored tattoos? And is scarring common afterward?

Yes, tattoos with deeper or high-quality ink tend to take longer to fade. Professional tattoos usually sit deeper in the skin and have more resistant pigments, so they require patience.
Large tattoos also take more time because the laser needs to be passed over a wider area. Your dermatologist can estimate the number of sessions once they examine the density and depth of the ink.
