- Is it painful?
- The removal process can be uncomfortable, and most patients experience some redness, mild swelling, and tenderness that should resolve quickly.
- What is recovery like?
- You can expect redness, swelling, scabbing, and flaking of the skin where the treatment occurred. This may last for several days. On average, your body will eliminate the tattoo pigment in 6-12 weeks. Results will become more evident in this timeframe.
