After you have completed your determined number of sessions to remove your tattoo at Lazaderm in Chandler, your skin will heal back to its normal state. With advanced laser technology and highly skilled providers, you can rest assured that there will be no scarring caused by our laser. Typically, our provider will recommend scheduling a minimum of 6-8 weeks between the sessions to allow the skin enough time to heal. Stacking the treatments too close can cause damage and permanent side effects to the skin. If you have scars from getting the tattoo in the first place, the pre-existing scars will likely still remain.

If your tattoo is not raised, it is more likely that your skin will heal after your appointment. Improper Aftercare Can Pose a Risk Aftercare is very important.

If proper protocols for treatments and post-care are followed, all of these side effects are temporary. Redness, tenderness and swelling typically subside within a day or two post-treatment. Blisters usually appear within 24 hours of treatment. Scabs, bruising, and blistering may take up to a week or longer to heal.
