I have a large colorful tattoo on my upper arm(half sleeve) which is being treated performing laser tattoo removal. Due to the size and number of colors,several treatments are needed in order for the tattoo to lighten a bit more. I know it's a challenge to remove such a big colored tattoo and there's no guarantee about complete removal...I was wondering if is it possible to undergo skin resurfacing for improving skin texture(some scarring left from the first tattoo) before getting a new one.
The question is - can you get laser resurfacing after tattoo removal to improve underlying scarring. The answer is yes but you need to be very careful and have someone very experienced treat you. Non-facial skin resurfacing (fractional or full-field) can be used to treat scarring with or without tattoo removal but needs to be treated not very deeply and with multiple treatments due to the skin thickness and lack of sebaceous glands. Bottom line - do your homework.
I am using TCA (currently at 20%) to fade/remove a tattoo on my arm. My question is, do these peels go deep enough to fade/remove a tattoo? If not (other than laser) is there another approach with minor risk of scarring?
Don't do it. A TCA peel will not remove the tatoo pigment. Although TCA peels have a place in dermatology, they do not remove tattoo pigment from under the skin.
