Many people considering tattoo removal in Dubai ask one key question: “How many sessions will it take?” The answer depends on factors like tattoo size, color, age, and location. At Tajmeels Clinic, certified medical professionals use advanced Pico and Q-Switched lasers, starting at 499 AED per session, to ensure safe, effective removal while minimizing side effects and downtime.

This guide explains what influences the number of sessions, expected results, cost breakdowns, and tips to optimize your treatment.


Factors That Determine Number of Sessions

1. Tattoo Size

  • Small tattoos (1–3 inches) usually require 3–6 sessions

  • Medium tattoos (3–6 inches) typically need 4–8 sessions

  • Large tattoos (>6 inches) may require 5–12 sessions

2. Tattoo Color

  • Black and dark blue inks are easiest to remove

  • Red, green, and yellow pigments often require additional sessions

3. Tattoo Age and Depth

  • Older tattoos may be easier to remove as ink may have faded naturally

  • Deep, dense ink requires more sessions for complete removal

4. Location on the Body

  • Areas with better blood circulation (arms, chest) respond faster

  • Extremities (hands, feet) may need additional sessions

5. Skin Type

  • Sensitive or darker skin types may require gentler laser settings and extra sessions to avoid pigmentation changes
