February 7, 2017
Asked By:pete38 in Newcastle Upon Tyne, GB

Hi there this is my second treatment of laser tattoo removal the first treatment was done at a well known tattoo parlour and took around 45 seconds to do the whole tattoo the second however was done a a local laser clinic and took around 1 min to do a very small test piece as you can see from the photos I was left with a rather bad hole in my arm from this treatment. My question is will this heal and is there anything I can do to help the healing process. Many thanks in advance Peter.
