There has been a rise in laser tattoo removal now that inking is part of our culture. Many have questions about the results and risks involved.
Tattoos now have less stigma, but tattoo enthusiasts want an alternative to unwanted ink that has become permanent.
Patients are mostly concerned about scarring and the treatment results. Patients want skin to look as if they never got inked, but it's important to have realistic expectations as each individual tattoo differs.
It is very uncommon for a patient to scar from laser tattoo removal treatment when the proper laser protocols and patient aftercare are followed.
If the skin already has irregularities such as scarring expect that to remain after laser tattoo removal.
Many patients don't realize that the scarring left after laser tattoo removal is often left over from when the tattoo was originally applied by the tattoo artist.
The laser targets and breaks down the tattoo pigment in the skin. It is important to know that incorrect laser protocols pose a risk. If the laser energy delivered per area when treating a tattoo is too excessive than side effects may occur. This includes pinpoint bleeding and scarring.
Blisters and scabs are common side effects that aid in the tattoo removal and healing process. Picking scabs or not caring properly for blisters can allow scarring to happen. Proper after care is critcal in the outcome of laser tattoo removal.
Some patients have a history of keloids which is an over growth of scar tissue and may be predisposed to scarring. It's important to know your medical history and provide a detailed history to your clinician.
