Tattoo removal feels like a race against time.
You want it gone—fast.
But for those over 40, skin heals slower.
Can a single laser session actually erase your tattoo?
The Reality of One-Session Tattoo Removal
Laser technology is powerful, but one session won’t erase everything.
Ink sits deep in the skin.
Multiple sessions break it down gradually.
At DermaPro Med Spa, we tailor your plan to your skin’s needs.
One session starts the process—but it’s the repeat visits that deliver results.
Why Multiple Sessions Are Key
Ink fades in layers, not all at once.
Skin needs time to heal between sessions
Deeper colors and older tattoos take longer
Mature skin needs gentle pacing to avoid damage
Patience leads to better long-term outcomes
Experienced technicians adjust settings for your skin type
What You’ll Notice After Your First Session
Some redness and swelling are normal.
Fading may be subtle at first.
Tiny scabs or flakes can form as ink breaks up.
Each session chips away more of the tattoo.
Expect visible change over months, not days.
