I had my tattoo removed by a dermatologist who believes who recommended an ultra pulse CO2 laser - the treatment was done over 6 months ago - whilst its has removed over 50% of my tattoo it has left me with scarring and a loss of pigmentation. The problem is I cannot continue laser tattoo removal treatments as no one can work over the damaged/scarred skin. Are there any treatments that I can have to either continue removing my tattoo or improve the condition of my skin?
