Lupus and tattoo removal? Please help.

Question

I have lupus and also take warfarin, I would like to get a tattoo removed but there is limited information available for people with lupus and the risks of getting their tattoo's removed. Is laser a safe option? is it even possible for someone with an autoimmune disease to have their tattoo removed?

Hello and thanks for your question.
Lupus and warfarin will make this difficult and a picosecond laser and an experienced doctor is needed. A test patch to gauge healing would be recommended.
Wishing you all the best,
