If you are not using an anesthetic agent for your laser tattoo removal sessions the pain from the treatment may be stimulating natural endorphins in your body make you feel good.
Tattoos can be removed with laser tattoo removal. Tattoos should be removed with q switched or pico lasers. It will take a series of treatments. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a laser tattoo removal expert. Best, Dr. Emer
