Yes whiteness is gas after the laser treatment. You can do multiple passes of laser at the same time to get better outcomes. I suggest you see an expert. Best, Dr. Emer.
Yes white spots/ white bubbles are normal. This is gas that has formulated under the skin after the laser treatment. This will fade over time. Make sure to consult with your attending provider so they can assess and discuss your concerns.
Yes, gas bubbles accumulate under the tattoo after using the laser. They gradually get absorbed. During the R0 protocol, a substance called PFD is placed on the tattoo to absorb these bubbles to allow for further treatments at the same visit.
Thank you for your question. Red tones respond best to the 532 wavelength. I would recommend a Pico laser with this wavelength. My preference is the PiQo4 laser that has 4 Pico wavelengths including 532 making it possible to remove 96% of ink colors.Dr. Daniel Ritacca

The most reliable laser wavelength for red/orange colors is 532 nm. I would recommend either a traditional Q-switched 532 nm laser or a picosecond 532 nm laser. Caution is required with 532 nm in darker or tanned skin because it is well absorbed by pigment in the skin and could have a higher r...
