Unlike black ink, some colors like red or green are more difficult to erase and require more sessions.<\/p>\n<p>For a good result, you will have to be patient because the process requires a break of 2 months between each laser session.<\/p>\n<p>During the treatment, it is important to avoid swimming and exposure to the sun in order to avoid scars.<\/p>\n<p>The price will depend on the center you go to, but it can vary from what I found <strong>between $150 and $300 euros per session in the US<\/strong>, you may found a cheaper price if you prepay a package or if you do it abroad.<\/p>\n<p>The result will be progressive, so you will have to accept an &#8220;ugly&#8221; tattoo that will not look like anything until the end of the treatment&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Even if there are new generation lasers, be aware that the final result is not always very conclusive, as your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reead.com\/en\/men-daily-skincare-137512020\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>skin care daily routine<\/strong><\/a>, take care of your skin after each session with an hydrating cream, ask recommandation to a dermatologist if needed.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Avoid tattoo removal creams sold on the Internet, they are either ineffective or corrosive.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>As, unfortunately, there is no miracle solution to erase a tattoo, take the time to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reead.com\/en\/choose-first-tattoo-218182023\/\">choose your tattoo and your tattoo artist guys<\/a> !<\/p>\n<h2>Laser away tattoo removal<\/h2>\n<p>I found a video so you can see what this technique offers.
