Is Swelling normal after 7 days from tattoo removal?

Asked By:rfeliz225 in San Diego, CA

I’ve had a session done before and can not recall if this happened or not. But, last week (7 days ago) I had my hands lasered. I kept them bandaged for about 3 days, taking them off to breath a bit during the day but mostly keeping them bandage with aquafor. The swelling started the following day, and went away mostly in 3ish days. I took the bandage off and sleeped without it from that point forward. Now, it swelled up again today and I’m getting worried. My blisters are minimal.
