Is Swelling Normal After Laser Tattoo Removal?

Swelling after getting a laser done is completely normal. You can put ice on the area to help reduce the swelling.

Swelling is normal after most surface laser treatments, including tattoo removal.  If there was no swelling at all, the energy level used in treatment might not be adequate.Swelling can be controlled by elevating the part treated and applying cool compresses (but not ice directly on the skin).  Swelling should begin to resolve in 2 or 3 days.  If the area becomes increasingly swollen or red after that, let your doctor know as it might be a sign of early infection.

Ot is normal to have some swelling and localized reaction after laser tattoo removal.  Continue to keep the area clean and it will take a few days to a week to resolve.  For the best cosmetic results please consult aboard certified dermatologist with experience with tattoo removal.
