Is it possible to have laser resurfacing if you have a tattoo, without removing the tattoo or likely causing scarring? Presumably the tattoo will be deeper than the resurfacing lasers go?

Answer: Tattoo and laser resurfacing Where is the tattoo and what areas are being resurfaced? On the face its primarily lip and eyelid tattoo which are NOT disrupted by laser resurfacing. I use erbium resurfacing to remove some very difficult facial tattoos but you need to go very deep. Off the face the depths used for resurfacing will not disrupt tattoo pigment

Answer: Laser resurfacing It is not advisable to laser over a tattoo. Many lasers are attracted to color or pigment in which case can cause a burn. Some lasers such as those that are fractionated are attracted to water are safer but overall any laser has the potential to cause a burn and disrupt the features of the tattoo.
