Tattoo Removal + Brown Q&A

Ive had 5 laser removal treatments done using picosure machine. The black bits have faded slightly but the shading has gone brown & darker, why is this happening? Would really appreciate some advice. Thank you.

Ive had 7x treatments to remove black cover up tattoo. On first one I noticed all black shading turned brown, this has been said to be hyperpigmentation and remaining ink, it has improved slightly over tone with only 3x treatments targeting brown areas. does anyone know for certain what this is and how best to treat? Also, on 7th session with PicoSure laser I noticed Ive lost a sufficient amount of pigment on top part of my arm, would this be something that can go back to normal?

Hi, I believe the tattoo removal was too agressive with my first laser procedure and now I'm left with dark brown all through the tattooed area. There was areas of grey wash shading, the shaded ink has totally gone but it's been replaced by brown. Is this Hyper pigmentation? How can I treat this? My arm now looks like a war zone.

I've been searching online for a while for the best laser to remove a brown ink tattoo. I haven't had much luck. Has anyone had any experience with this? What's strange is when searching online, there are conflicting statements, some say brown ink is easy to remove and some say it's one of the hardest.

I'm using enlighten cutera and I can see no signs of black ink anymore, but my tattoo is getting Light brown. Is it normal? Are those particles going to leave?

I recently just got a tattoo and I absolutely love what the artist have created for me, but I can't help but regretting the position of where the tattoo is. I wanted it a bit smaller and discreet. So I was thinking of getting it removed and re do a simpler smaller version elsewhere. Sorry if I'm being a bit silly, it's my first tattoo.

Greetings! I am looking for a specialist/dermatologist who has confidence working on the issue. NYC/Brooklyn NY Thank you!

Do you think the green was mixed with yellow colour? And the yellow turned brown? Is this going to fade eventually?

My first laser session has been done with a Nd: yag-laser. As the black ink turned brown, my doctor used the ruby laser two times in order to remove the brown ink. Unfortunately I can already see some ghosting of my tattoo in the areas where the ink has already been removed. Is this a total loss of melanocytes? Is there a possibility that the skin will return to it's normal colour?

I am 10 laser treatments in. I had 9 with q-switched and 1 with picosure. I am almost 3 weeks post picosure and I am seeing a lot of redness/brown pigment in the treated area. I'm worried that once the ink is all gone (that is, if that is even possible), I'll be left with a brown scar of the tattoo. Does my tattoo removal progress look normal? I do not have any raised scarring, just some hyper pigmentation. Thanks in advance!
