I got a tattoo a week ago and I regret it so much. I've done tons of research on tattoo removal and laser seems like the most praised method but yet there's still concerns on what happens to the ink after it's "flushed" by immune system. Salabrasion is my last resort and I feel like good results can be achieved. My concern is scarring and if there's any way it can be minimized. Thanks in advance!

If the correct laser and setting is used you should not get any skin discoloration.You should go back to your doctor any consider a different type of laser. You would be a great candidate for the Alex Trivantage laser. This laser is the only one on the market that can target colors.
Thank you for posting a photo. I recommend
learning more about the Picosure laser. This new laser will permanently remove
your tattoo without causing any harm to the surrounding tissue. Consult with
your doctor to determine if this is the best option for you.
I published and recommend laser skin resurfacing for skin colored and flesh toned tattoos and tattoos around the lip. Q-switched lasers can blacken them and it is interesting Picosure didn't help. It is a relatively new technology and we are learning what it can and cannot do....
