Q Candela Alextrivantage Laser Tattoo Removal Not Working. Alternatives?
A
There should be some response after 4 treatments esp for a black tattoo. I believe there are more effective tattoo lasers for black ink such as the Qs Yag 1064 so you might see someone with a Qs Yag laser. Other ways to remove resistant tattoos is to retreat several times at the same setting or using a fractionated resurfacing laser before using the tattoo removal laser. For this you would need to see a dermatologist who is experienced in tattoo removal.

Q How to Fix Laser Tattoo Removal Scar?
A
currently the most effective treatment for hypopigmented scarring is the 1540 or 1550nm Fraxel laser. It does help to blend the hypopigmentation and also improves the texture, so find a dermatologist that has Fraxel laser.
