Question

Can you get laser tattoo removal with numbing injections like for lip fillers? I had scars under the tattoo and was most painful to get so not looking forward for removal

Randal Haworth, MD, FACS · Answer

Yes, it is possible to receive numbing injections before laser tattoo removal treatment. Numbing injections, such as lidocaine, can help reduce the pain and discomfort associated with laser tattoo removal. However, it is important to consult with a qualified medical professional who can determine the best course of action for your individual situation, taking into account your medical history, skin type, and the location and size of the tattoo.

Best of luck !

Hello koko98,
Thank you for your question. We would typically apply a topical numbing cream prior to your treatment to make it more comfortable. We also use zimmer cooling system which blows very cols air onto the area being treated which is soothing for the patient. Hope this helps! Best, Manish Khanna, MD FRCPC
