I had laser hair removal done using they candela laser. I just noticed weird spots on an old tattoo i have. Could this be them lasering the tattoo by accident? The spots are flat and do not hurt.

After laser hair removal, we have patients use Elevase Moisture Booster to help improve skin quality. Elevase contains opti-ceramides which strengthen the skin moisture barrier. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles
