My tattoo is raised 9 days after laser tattoo removal. Is this normal?

When in doubt, a patient should always check
with their physician if an unexpected reaction has occurred.There are many known reactions possible
following laser tattoo removal, including redness, blistering, bruising, swelling
and tenderness.These may vary based on
the size and location of the treated area, color of ink and a patient’s general
health. At Hall Plastic Surgery in
Austin, TX we use the PicoSure™ laser exclusively for our tattoo removals
because it causes fewer unwanted side effects.Because the PicoSure™ pulse is so fast, collateral damage to the adjacent
tissue is avoided; the ink is destroyed but the skin remains intact.

Thank you for your question. It is best to
follow up with your doctor to make sure you are healing properly. I also
suggest learning about the Picosure laser; this laser will permanently remove
your tattoo without causing harm to the surrounding tissue.
