What will help scarring from Tattoo Removal please? (photo)

lauraskyexxJan 27, 2022
Basically I have scarring from tattoo removal, I’m having trouble removing it cuz of the scarring, should I keep going with the removal if im not really seeing any results? Will it just take longer?? I tried microneedling once a month ago but it didn’t really help, and I’ve just tried a laser to help the scar tissue.. but yeah I just want it gone so I wondered if you have any advice on what would help get rid of it please? thankyouu

When I have a white ink oxidize to a dark color I treat that oxidized area look black and use my Q YAG. I find most of the time it removes the color but takes multiple sessions probably more than if it started as black ink

It will take a series of treatments. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a laser tattoo removal expert. If it's new, you'll want to wait until it's completely healed (around 4-6 weeks) Best, Dr. Emer

Microneedling would not be enough for this. You'll need to combine with laser treatment. Seek out an expert to discuss your options. Best, Dr. Emer
