Can you get tattoo removal over a tattoo that is raised and scarred?

Tattoo removal can be done over scarring but you want to ensure this is just keloid/scar not sarcoidal granuloma. I suggest you see an expert.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Tattoos with scarring can be treated, but they require more than the standard lasers. At the Laser Center of Maryland, we use our #Sciton Profractional Laser to help relax and eliminate the scar. At the same time we then use the Q-switch YAG laser to reduce the ink. Hope this helps and good luck! Dr. M

It is still possible to treat tattoos where too much ink has been placed . It will just take longer to treat.  Risks from laser tattoo removal include pigment changes, and even scarring even though permanent side effects are minimal risk.  It also depends on your skin type and the type of laser utilized.  I would consult with an experienced provider but you may still be able to get laser tattoo removal

Yes.  The MD would just need to be more selective about starting energy levels.  Our PicoSure should be able to treat it.
