Hi,It is not common to see redness for longer than a week after a session of tattoo removal. I would suggest you check this up with the doctor. Also, some areas (from the pic) appear to have some scarring - so stretch your intervals between sessions, and also ask the tech / nurse to consider using a lower fluence. Best,
I see that PIH has started. This happens when redness persists. I would suggest a retin A or retinol and hydroquinone. No further tattoo removal lasers until this heals. Chemical peel might be helpful too. Prevention with steroids - topical/oral is easier than treating the PIH.
It is difficult to say without more history. It appears you are doing a partial removal? How many treatments have you had?
