Is it okay to get laser treatments with Q-switched laser with only a four week wait?

Asked By:wlskqor in Kansas City, KS

I just began treatments on three small, all black tattoos. I was told by my provider that I could come back in 4 weeks, although general consensus seems to dictate a longer wait. I'm Caucasian and my skin is fairly pale (but I don't burn easily, just tan gradually if I'm in the sun). The tattoos range from 1 - 3 years old. They are all black. I just had my first treatment three days ago and haven't seen much blistering, just slight redness.
