The best candidates for laser tattoo removal have a strong immune system and are healthy overall. Following a detailed consultation, your technician will then pass the handpiece over the tattooed skin as it releases pulsing laser light and energy. The time it takes to complete the procedure can vary based on the type and size of the treatment area. Following each session, an ointment will be applied to the skin along with bandages to help protect the area. You can expect redness, sensitivity, and swelling, along with a sunburned sensation and minor scabbing. It is important to carefully adhere to aftercare instructions to expedite the recovery process. Once the skin is ready, your next session may be scheduled. Dr. Li recommends spacing treatments about 4 – 7 weeks apart.
