After 4 sessions at Evolve Tattoo Removal.
The tattoo
A medium black tattoo on the shoulder on Type III skin (medium, tans easily, rarely burns), 1–5 yrs old when treatment began.
Fitzpatrick Type III requires careful setting management to avoid temporary pigmentation changes between sessions.
The shoulder has good proximity to the axillary lymph nodes, supporting clearance between sessions.
Timeline
4 sessions at 8-10 weeks intervals accounts for roughly 27 weeks of active treatment.
Cost
Evolve Tattoo Removal: $1,200 across 4 sessions works out to $300 per session.
The average per-session rate in San Diego runs $200 to $562, so $300 sits within the local range.
The laser
Evolve Tattoo Removal treated this case with the Trinity, a nanosecond Q-switch platform.
For black ink, it operates at 1064 nm with a pulse duration of 6 ns.
