Will laser tattoo removal leave scars?

Many young people like to get tattoos. They think having tattoos is not only cool, but also a sign of their maturity. But after adolescence, people may feel that tattoos are unsightly and want to remove them. However, many people also know that getting a tattoo is not painful, but removing it is painful. After all, it is very difficult to remove the color that has penetrated deep into the skin, and sometimes it may even leave scars. So will laser tattoo removal leave scars?

Laser tattoo removal will leave a few scars. In fact, laser tattoo removal itself will never leave scars. Instead, the scars are left by the tattoo artist during the tattooing process. The laser only removes the pigment on the tattoo through the laser.

Laser tattoo removal is many times more painful than getting a tattoo. In fact, the question of whether laser tattoo removal is painful mainly depends on your sensitivity to pain. Generally, you will feel pain during laser tattoo removal. Some people even say that it hurts so much that you will start to doubt your life. However, you will never feel pain after laser tattoo removal.

Laser tattoo removal uses a laser emitted by a machine to break up the color particles under the skin. The color of the tattoo will spread with the blood, and the heat generated by the laser will burn the skin, thus achieving the purpose of tattoo removal. Laser tattoo removal cannot be completely removed in one go. Laser tattoo removal needs to be repeated several times to achieve the desired effect. The first laser tattoo removal will not leave scars on the skin, but as the treatment progresses and the area and depth of the tattoo increase, the pain will become more and more obvious, and the scars will become more obvious accordingly. However, as time goes by, the scars left by laser tattoo removal will gradually fade and eventually disappear.

After laser tattoo removal, there will be a color reversal phenomenon. Because of the influence of individuals and pigments, some people will experience skin breakage, bleeding and blisters. These are normal phenomena after laser tattoo removal. If it is a small blister, no treatment is required, as long as the epidermis of the small blister is not rubbed. If the blister is large, you need to use a fully effective needle to prick it, drain the water in the blister, and then apply anti-inflammatory medicine.

There will be a small area of ​​swelling after laser tattoo removal. This is a normal phenomenon and will generally disappear on its own within 3 to 5 days. No other treatment is required. If you want to promote the disappearance of swelling, it is recommended to use aloe vera gel to shorten the duration of swelling.

You need to pay attention to sun protection after laser tattoo removal. The skin after laser treatment is more fragile and sensitive. Ultraviolet radiation can cause skin allergies, pigmentation, etc. Therefore, you must actively protect yourself from the sun one month after laser tattoo removal.

Do not eat dark foods after laser tattoo removal. This is because new skin will grow during the healing process, which is usually pink. If you eat dark foods during the wound recovery period, it will cause pigment precipitation, which means scars will appear after laser tattoo removal. Therefore, you need to change your diet one month after laser tattoo removal. Do not eat dark foods such as coffee, chocolate, soy sauce, etc.

Do not take aspirin-type anti-inflammatory drugs after laser tattoo removal, because taking anti-inflammatory drugs will have a certain impact on the effect of laser tattoo removal. If you find symptoms of inflammation after laser tattoo removal, it is recommended to go to the hospital first and use the medicine correctly under the doctor's advice.

After laser tattoo removal, wounds will appear on the skin due to the stimulation of the laser. If the wound has not scabbed, it is generally not recommended to come into contact with alkaline substances, such as shampoo, shower gel, soap, detergent, etc. used in bathing, as these will irritate the wound and cause inflammation. If necessary, be sure to wrap the wound with plastic wrap before taking a bath or washing dishes.

After laser tattoo removal, the wound will form a scab in about 5 days. Many people will tear off the scab without paying attention, which will cause the wound that was about to recover to form a new wound. Therefore, it will delay the healing time of laser tattoo removal and slow down the pace of tattoo removal, and ultimately fail to achieve the best laser tattoo removal effect.
