Now that you’ve begun your tattoo laser removal treatments, how can you best care for the tattoo to reduce discomfort or potential side effects? With laser tattoo removal, like any type of procedure, it is possible to experience several minimal discomforts to the area after receiving treatment.

Laser removal works by using a laser to target the tattoo. The heat from the laser breaks apart tattoo pigment, which is then removed naturally by the body later. Because the skin is under direct contact by the laser, your skin could experience minor burns, blistering, itching, frosting and swelling. After a laser tattoo removal treatment, there is immediate whitening of the treated area, which typically lasts for several minutes. Many patients then develop blisters or scabs within 12-24 hours, which may last for 1-2 weeks or more. The treated areas may be pink or pale after the scab separates. Loss of skin pigment in the treated area is common and is usually temporary. Healing is usually complete within 6-8 weeks.
