Will microdermabrasion damage tattoos?

Thank you for yout question, Yes, this can be removed with laser tattoo removal. Using a PFD patch in tandem with a laser will get you more removal quickly as compared to tattoo removal without it. 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 competely healed (around 4-6 weeks) Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for your question.
This is most commonly known as Keratosis Pilaris, which is of no concern. You can use a loofa in the shower to lightly exfoliate the area to soften the skin and apply Avene Akerat after so that it absorbs (This is available in America). The product helps to soften the roughness of the skin without damaging the tattoos. Unfortunately, Keratosis Pilaris cannot be cured, but it can be maintained so that the bumpiness stays under control.
I hope this helps.
