Hyperpigmentation after second laser tattoo removal session, is this normal? (Photos)

August 20, 2017
Asked By:Somewhatvain in Dallas, Texas

I had my second laser tattoo removal session 12 weeks ago. The first 2 sessions were with the Picosure laser. I had some bleeding after my second session and the laser setting seemed much higher than the first, which I had few side effects from. I seem to have hyperpigmentation now after my second treatment which has not gone away and it looks quite pink. Is this normal? And is there anything I can do to get rid of the pigmentation? Was the laser used on too high of a setting last time?
