Thanks for your inquiry.

There are many ablative laser resurfacing technologies available but the most common are CO2 and Erbium Laser resurfacing for facial rejuvenation, acne scarring,...

To find out whether you are suitable for this procedure you must carefully choose your clinic and consult an experienced laser dermatologist to be fully assessed and explained in details about the outcome and side effects, recovery time,etc

Best of luck,

Thanks for your inquiry, unfortunately after the laser tattoo removal , sometimes your skin reaction can be unpredicatable but it most cases you can expect blistering , redness and swelling for a few days which you may plan to avoid doing heavy physical working activities, due to risk of scarring, skin damage or infection. Please ask your laser dermatologist to provide you with the necessary post care and advice. good luck,

yes it is safe and is called R20 , where three laser sessions are combined into one session with 20 minutes interval in beween laser treatments.It is proven clinically to remove more ink in shorter period of time.

As you mentioned, you have a few tattoos with different colors which means that different wavelengths of laser need to be used in order to remove all colours. For example Picosure, C6 Medlite, RevLight would be great choices for you if you can find clinics that use any of these technologies. Please make sure that you do a plenty of investigation and research before you proceed with your treatment to ensure that your laser clinician has adequate experience in the field of laser tattoo removal. Cost can vary according to the technology used, clinician's experience, reputation, etc.

Best of luck,

Dear Napoleon

 I believe a number of options can be chosen to reduce the visibility of the scar but I suggest that it might be too early to have any of those options due to freshness of your scar tissue as in most cases tissue can self-correct and peel away after 8-10 weeks. I normally advise our patients to come in after 6-8 weeks for an evaluation and if there is a slight irregularity of the tissue then they may go for either Co2 laser resurfacing , Erbium Laser resurfacing or Fractional skin resurfacing such as Endy med 3 Deep. You can also looking into using a silicon reach post-scarring ointment like Strathaderm to reduce the scar tissue redness and improving skin quality.
