Wrist Tattoos: How Long Does Treatment Take to Remove Them?

Jim T • March 4, 2021

Do you have a wrist tattoo that you want to remove? Read on for more information.

Any tattoo located near and around the hands can be tricky. For example, the palmar side (palm of the hand) has many more important functions and characteristics such as veins. The thin skin on top of your hand is necessary to handle movement of ligaments, and bone to enable this pivot joint to function. In addition, the high number of sensory nerve endings protect an area of your body where the artery is close to the surface of the skin.

Tattoo removal can be challenging around this area for a number of reasons. Primarily this area is very far from your heart near the terminal end of your appendage. Circulation is always a premiere factor in tattoo removal, and the closer a tattoo is to your heart, the quicker the removal process. The thinner skin on the anterior aspect of your wrist and hand further complicate and delay the rate at which your body can remove the pulverized ink from laser tattoo removal with PicoWay.

Wrist tattoos are popular and aplenty. Removing them will take a few extra sessions to overcome the anatomical barriers your body presents in that specific area.

You can see in this watchband tattoo that with the same number of treatments the watch face or the dorsal side is clearing faster.

The 2 peas in a pod tattoo had received 7 treatments when the average to remove black in is 8 treatments. As you can see a few extra sessions are required but we are almost there.
