As laser tattoo removal specialists will tell you, success of the procedure is determined by a number of things, such as skin color, the age and location of the tattoo, and the color and size of the tattoo. Laser tattoo removal is most effective on black or blue tattoos. It is also most effective when the tattoo is older, smaller, and is located in a high body fat area (i.e. arms, chest, buttocks, legs…). Because the results do differ drastically, it is important to ask your laser tattoo removal specialist about the results you can expect before beginning the laser tattoo removal process.
5. How much will the laser tattoo removal cost?
Unfortunately, there are no bargains in the realm of laser tattoo removal. The majority of insurance providers will not cover the cost of laser tattoo removal unless it is medically necessary. Because the cost of the removal can range drastically according to the number of sessions required, it is important to discuss these costs with your laser tattoo removal specialist before committing to or undergoing any treatment. The procedure could cost from several hundred dollars to several thousands depending on the number of appointments needed. Get all charges in writing from the laser tattoo removal specialist before undergoing any treatment to avoid unanticipated costs.
