Often patients have concerns about blisters and swelling following their laser tattoo removal treatment.

Picosure laser blistering.

Most patients describe a picosure laser treatment for tattoo removal as being highly tolerable. Picosure is the first and only aesthetic picosecond laser for the safe and effective removal of tattoos and benign pigmented lesions as well as acne scars wrinkles and skin revitalization treatments. The best thing to do for it is elevate the extremity as much as possible during the day and sleep with your leg on pillows elevated above your heart. This will help the fluid flow back into your core and reduce swelling.

You will be advised to continue with the laser gel for the next week. While the chances of developing a blister are greatly reduced with the picosure laser blisters can occur. I have had several of my clients experience this. As a result superficial blisters containing water and ink may appear.

In fact blisters are quite normal and an indication that the healing process has begun. Clinical data shows better clearance in fewer treatments. Blistering during the removal process the laser will heat up ink particles in your skin which can cause tiny blood vessels to break around the tattoo. The most common cause of these symptoms is not following the aftercare instructions.

After your session laser gel will be applied to the treatment area. Swelling below the treatment area is a recognized effect of the laser.
