Tattoo Removal but Left Me with Hypertrophic Scarring

Not Worth It
Spent: $1,300 in Fort Lee, NJ

Posted 14 Jun 2010

I had a tattoo on my arm removed. I grew out of it. I had 2 laser treatments to burn the skin deep enough so the remaining ink could be picked out. The tat is gone but now i have a big hypertrophic scar where the tat was. Now instead of tattoo removal I have to get scar removal and buy silicone gel sheets which are costly.

I am very unhappy and depressed that i wish i left well enough alone. Please do your research and don't base your judgement by prices.

i went thru the same thing. i had a sleeve i was removing and ended up with scars and keloids, stopped going had about 9 sessions, just ended up getting a cover up over it. it's depressing true, but it is what it is, we can only move on from it. hopefully in the future. there will be a REAL solution to tattoo removal.
