What are some common side-effects after a PicoSure tattoo removal?

Doctor's Answer

PicoSure tattoo removal, like all pigment laser treatments, may be associated with the following side-effects:

  1. Blistering
  2. Pain and swelling
  3. Hypopigmentation
  4. Hyperpigmentation
  5. Textural change and scarring

These side-effects may be reduced by adjusting the laser energy lower, increasing the interval between treatments or by using an alternative laser wavelength if necessary.
