Ghosting concerns after tattoo removal: are there creams/oils that can help restore the color back to treated area? (photo)

TierabayNov 16, 2021
I have been receiving laser tattoo removal treatments for over a year now, and the ink is fading and clearing up but I’m left with a ghosting effect. I still have more treatments to go, and was wondering is there a certain cream or oil that can help restore the color back into the treated area once my treatments are completely over with? The laser that’s being used for my treatments is the Astanza Trinity Yag laser. (Q Switch).

This needs laser, will often darken first, not always but sometimes, and over few treatments improve. plasma pen is an alternative and sometimes works and sometimes doesnt. need to pre and post treat this area with lightening and exfoliation creams (see emeragecosmetics link). Best, Dr. Emer.
