I got picoway laser removal and this is how it looks the next day. It isn't painful, and when I touch the area it doesn't hurt, it just feels stiff and is very swollen. It is, however, sore. There's only a couple of blisters, but overall it isn't painful. It feels incredibly sore when I get up after laying down for a while.

Answer: Is redness normal after laser tattoo removal? Hello, thank you for your question and for including a photo. Yes, redness is definitely going to be present for several days following a laser treatment. Blisters are also possible, but not always present. It is very important to take care of the treatment area post treatment to assure quickest healing process. Here are the post care instructions that we provide our patients with;POSTOPERATIVE TREATMENT CARE Immediately after treatment, there should be a “slight frosting” on the area that is treated. Erythema (redness) and edema (swelling) at the treatment site can occur and may last up to 2 hours or longer. Pinpoint bleeding may also occur. An ointment (Aquaphor, bacitracin, or even Vaseline) should be applied to the treated area and covered with a non-stick bandage. After treatment, the skin will scab over. It is very important not to pick, scratch or aggressively wash the area to prevent possible scarring. This crust should flake off in 7-10 days. Avoid sun exposure to reduce the chance of hyper-pigmentation (darker pigmentation) Use sun block (SPF 30+) at all times throughout the course of your treatments. There are no restrictions on bathing except to treat the area gently, as with any other wound. Good Luck!
