Should redness last one month or longer post PicoSure tattoo removal, is this permanent? (Photos)

Asked By:ericad19 in San Diego, CA

Posting another photo of my tattoo removal session I had performed over a month ago. I went to the dermatology clinic to ask the doctor if this was normal. He said it was and that it would heal, and that I may be a slower healer. It is driving me crazy because I’ve never had redness last so long in my skin. Can redness be permanent?? The spots that are red were fully inked and the ink was gone after 1 session. I was told I was treated with high intensity but this machine is obviously powerful.
