Is it safe to do another laser tattoo removal session 5 days after the first treatment? (Photo)

Thanks for your question and photos. It's really important to let the skin heal completely, about four weeks, before embarking on another treatment. If you are discouraged by your first treatment, consider the laser you're using. A Pico Laser breaks up pigment much faster than say a nano laser. Here are my tips for a successful tattoo removal. Good luck!Tattoo removal, if not done correctly, can result in either scarring or ghosting.  Here are some tips:
Find a reputable office with a Pico laser. It produces faster results with less scarring than a nano alone.  Tattoo removal shops are not as reputable as a Doctor. Many of these shops close as quickly as they open, leaving you out of luck on pre-paid packages.Stay out of the sun— sunlight can be harmful to healing in after any laser procedureAvoid infections- This means keep your tattoo area clean (i.e. don’t garden right after a tattoo removal on your arm, etc), don’t pick scabs or blisters if they occur.  Follow our post procedure instructions. Avoid swimming for 48 hours as water can infect the treated areas.Allow healing between treatment sessions- typically 4-8 weeks.Be healthy- while the tattoo laser breaks up the tattoo particles, your body will actually eliminate the particles. Being healthy will help achieve this process faster and allow for consistent healing. Drink lots of water, get adequate sleep, and eat vitamin enriched foods.In our practice we utilize the currently most powerful Pico laser on the market called the PiQo4 by Lumenis.  The main advantage of a stronger tattoo laser (combining nano and pico wavelengths at greater power) is faster breakup of the tattoo.  The science of tattoo removal is complex but essentially the greater power will photo acoustically break up tattoo particles in smaller pieces.

Some blistering is typical with laser tattoo removal. Tattoos should be removed with q switched or pico lasers. We use pfd patches to speed up the process, but it will take a series of treatments. Typically, sessions are spread out about every 4 weeks. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a laser tattoo removal expert. Best, Dr. Emer

It is not safe to do two laser tattoo removal sessions so close together. If done correctly the laser will essentially create a first degree burn on the epidermis which will need time to heal. Those bubbles look like the typical blisters we see with the laser and are a sign that your immune system is responding correctly to the treatment. If there is some concern that not all of the tattoo was lasered then you can certainly laser the areas that were not touched. Generally you should wait at least 6 weeks between sessions to avoid any scarring. I hope that helps, good luck!

You need to wait until your skin has healed before doing another laser tattoo-removal session. A board-certified dermatologist would not try to treat you again five days later.
The lasers we use, such as PicoWay, are quite powerful and effective. However, laser tattoo removal is a slow process. The tattoo’s pigment must be shattered layer by layer. In between your treatments, your skin heals and your body removes the minute pigment particles. That’s why it takes awhile to see a change in your tattoo. 
Please find a board-certified dermatologist to help you remove your tattoo with PicoWay so you don’t end up damaging your skin. 

it is recommended to wait until the wound is properly healed before doing another treatment this can prevent from getting a scar. 

The skin takes at least 4 weeks to heal enough to be able to do another laser tattoo removal treatment. We use the PicoWay laser and typically patients need 4-10 treatments at 1 month apart depending on what colors are in the tattoo and how the tattoo was done (either professionally or by an amateur).

I hope this helps answer your question!

Hello and thank you for your question and providing a photo.  In our practice, we use the PicoSure laser by CynoSure for tattoo removal.  The way the PicoSure works is that it uses pressure wave technology to "shatter" the ink into tiny micro-particles which are then naturally eliminated by your body.  Although the ink is shattered during the treatment, it takes up to 8-12 weeks for a patient's body to eliminate the shattered ink.  As a result, we space treatments two to three months apart to allow the body to go through this process. 
Some blistering after treatment is normal and part of the body's repair process.
You didn't specify what type of laser was used, but it sounds like it is probably a lower energy and quality laser than a PicoSure.  Such lasers can take a large number of treatments to remove a tattoo.  The pertinent question to ask is what is the recommended protocol for the type of laser that was used and is the practitioner following that protocol?  Is the laser technician a clinician with the background to understand and apply the correct settings, as well as assess any after effects and make appropriate recommendations?
We always recommend seeking a proper evaluation and treatment plan from an experienced and skilled clinician.  Your State Medical Board can guide you to a well credentialed tattoo removal expert. 
All the best to you. 

This question has me seriously doubting your provider’s knowledge and experience. After a laser treatment, visual results are not expected for at least 6 weeks, and even then you may not see obvious results until later treatments.
Retreating a tattoo this soon is inappropriate. Find a provider with medical training and a picosecond laser. He or she will treat you on a rational schedule, keep you safe, and get you the best results.
Good luck to you!
