Can an IPL laser help breakdown tattoos faster/help with hyperpigmentation?

July 12, 2023
Asked By:WingsFlyAway14 in Portland, Oregon

I've had a few treatments done on a piece on my back over the last few years. My most recent treatment (with a Q plus C laser) caused hyperpigmentation (black spots) around the black ink. I read it will break down after time or more treatments, but I cant make an appointment for a while because of finances so I'm wondering if my at home Kenzzi IPL laser with either the age spot or acne attachment will help break them down faster? Thank you!
