tattoo removal (red ink)?

Question

I was told that the laser tattoo removal doesn't work on red ink and deep scaring ...both of which I have?

Answer 1

Not necessarily true.

Red is harder to remove, though. The laser works by picking out the things that stand out the most. Thus, black is easier to remove than, say, yellow. So, often, a color like red can't be removed as completely, but it can be significantly lightened, and perhaps removed entirely.

Of course, the best way to find out is to talk to a technician and have them take a look.

Answer 2

You need to find a laser specialist with the right laser for it as all lasers are not created equally. It can be removed. As far as the scarring, they will not make any guarantees against laser scarring so you are compounding that situation, but sometimes it heals in even better than you started.

Be sure to find someone that has a lot of experience with this.

Answer 3

Well Im Not Sure on the Specifics of wether or not Laser Surgery would take out the red or not, However i know that isnt the only method of removeing tattoos, One other way would be the Gel, Its slow, but effective, It dissolves and pulls out the ink from your Skin. You should look into it.

Answer 4

Uhh if it has been a problem for that long I'd be looking into some PCR blood work to check for any type of blood/bacterial infection. Despite the artists attempts to be safe and clean the number of reported infections is climbing at an alarming rate, you have a 50-50 chance of getting an infection and yes it can happen years later before it becomes a real problem. My tats started giving me problem after almost 20yrs and yes the PCR testing did show a blood infection....long term anti-biotics.

Answer 5

Laser removal removes, and but there will be a slight shadow after.

Answer 6

Not true!
