The most common side effects are:
- Pain - tattoo removal can be more painful than getting the tattoo, that’s why I use strong numbing cream, however, even with that, it is still painful.
- Redness - skin redness at the treated area is to be expected and can last for 8-12 hours.
- Blisters - blisters can form and will need cautious care with creams and maybe even wound dressing.
- No results - some stubborn tattoos may be difficult to remove but with PicoSure, a type of picosecond laser, it is much able to treat stubborn tattoos due to its unique 755nm wavelength and low pulse duration. Therefore this “side effect” doesn’t happen much with PicoSure.
