As a general rule, laser tattoo removal is most effective on black and red ink. Other colors take longer to remove and some may not be fully removable.
Black ink responds well to laser pulses because it is made of carbon and can effectively absorb the laser’s energy. This causes the pigmentation to fragment into smaller particles that the body’s immune system removes.
Older tattoos also respond well to laser tattoo removal due to less ink density and the fact that much of their ink pigment has already been absorbed by the body. Lasers are also more effective on professional tattoos because the ink is evenly distributed in the skin’s dermis.
At LaserAway, we use the Kirby-Desai scale to accurately determine how many treatments it will take to remove your tattoo. This evidence based scale was composed and published by Dr. Will Kirby, LaserAway’s chief medical officer.
