You will likely see fading of your tattoo after the first treatment, although that is not always the case. Scarring from the tattoo artist or from previous laser treatments, the type of ink, and many other factors determine the progress of the fading. Everyone responds at a different rate. Some people see a difference with every treatment, while others will not see much change for a few treatments in a row. In any case you will definitely see clearance happen faster than you would have with a Q-switched technology.
