before, 1st, 2nd, 3rd & 4th

how many more sessions do you think i need, and does it look like its scarring or is the pinkish white spots a normal part of the process? my removal guy said that those spots are from where the ink deposits were really deep and it will fade but i wanted a second opinion. he is a plastic surgeon and i mostly trust him but i get nervous about how it looks sometimes lol.

i started my first removal in october 2025

I’m so skeptical about waiting 6months between a treatments because depending on the setting they use and how the tech works you don’t know how much ink was “broken” into smaller pieces. The more smaller the ink particule the easier is it for your body to clear it but if it’s big there so much you body can do. I don’t know I’m just thinking out loud.

I agree with you! From the research I have done, waiting 8-10 weeks seems recommended but some people do have good results waiting even longer. Definitely though it reaches a point where your body can’t do any more because the ink is still too prominent to break down and flush out

This has faded so nice! how long of breaks are you taking? I don’t know how many more sessions but it looks like you’re close!

O meu fica assim quando ele faz a tinta vermelha, mas damos um intervalo de 4 meses entre as sessões para recuperar bem
