Does the laser tattoo removal process cause scarring?
In order to remove a tattoo without scarring, a Q-Switched laser must be used. The term Q-Switched indicates that the laser is pulsed so quickly (billionths of a second) that it is able to dissolve the ink without destroying the live tissue in the process. Similar to running your hand over a candle very quickly, there’s not enough time to burn the skin. Redness, swelling, blistering and scabbing are common symptoms that often follow tattoo removal laser treatments.
