I had a laser tattoo removal session and it's still painful and swollen 2 days later. Is that normal? (Photo)

Two days is not a long time to have some residual swelling or redness. Everyone heals differently and as you go through treatments the technician is like changing the laser setting to give you a better result.
if it persists more than a week i would go back and see the doctor and have it evaluated. If there are no breaks in the skin you can use some over the counter cortisone products that may reduce redness and swelling. Keep area clean and dry.
Good luck

Hi,
Great Question and sometimes it can take a week for swelling and tenderness to resolve.
Recommend give your treatment provider a call,too, just to discuss concern. We always encourage our patients to call us with any concerns at any time. We don't want our patients to wait and worry and I don't think your provider would want that either.
Take care and hope this is helpful,
Dr. Amy
