Answer: Tattoo Removal Thanks for your question and your photo. This appears to be a successful session, and the colors seem to be dramatically fading in prominent areas. Patience is key with tattoo removal, as one treatment is hardly ever enough. You are only 22 days post procedure, which isn't enough time to for your body to fully absorb the ink. My suggestion for you is to keep on the schedule for removal as discussed with your doctor, and if you haven't already, find an office that takes advance of nano and pico technology to ensure a faster and safer result. Here are my tips for successful tattoo removal. Good luck!Tattoo removal, if not done correctly, can result in either scarring or ghosting. Here are some tips: Find a reputable office with a Pico laser. It produces faster results with less scarring than a nano alone. Tattoo removal shops are not as reputable as a Doctor. Many of these shops close as quickly as they open, leaving you out of luck on pre-paid packages.Stay out of the sun— sunlight can be harmful to healing in after any laser procedureAvoid infections- This means keep your tattoo area clean (i.e. don’t garden right after a tattoo removal on your arm, etc), don’t pick scabs or blisters if they occur. Follow our post procedure instructions. Avoid swimming for 48 hours as water can infect the treated areas.Allow healing between treatment sessions- typically 4-8 weeks.Be healthy- while the tattoo laser breaks up the tattoo particles, your body will actually eliminate the particles. Being healthy will help achieve this process faster and allow for consistent healing. Drink lots of water, get adequate sleep, and eat vitamin enriched foods.In our practice we utilize the currently most powerful Pico laser on the market called the PiQo4 by Lumenis. The main advantage of a stronger tattoo laser (combining nano and pico wavelengths at greater power) is faster breakup of the tattoo. The science of tattoo removal is complex but essentially the greater power will photo acoustically break up tattoo particles in smaller pieces. Best, Anil Shah

Answer: Tattoo removal First of all thanks for your question. Tattoo removal requires multiple sessions and progresses slowly. You have a satisfactory result for the first session, but I think the rash should not last that long. Keep that in mind that especially green and red tattoos are more resistant to laser treatments than black and will take longer to erase.
