We recommend a healthy lifestyle for maximum benefit. Hydration, regular exercise to increase circulation, healthy diet, smoking cessation all help. We use a skincare protocol after and between treatments that improves healing and skin health, which promotes longer fading. Tattoos are removed by the body after the ink molecules are "exploded" by the laser.

Absolutely, yes. That's what the B.L.A.S.T. protocol teaches.

I believe that achieving and maintaining a healthy immune system is your best bet to enhancing the effects of laser tattoo removal sessions. Your immune system is really doing all the work anyway, flushing away the particles of ink broken down by the laser. So the more healthy you are the better. I recommend that you consult with your physician or naturopathic physician to explore best options for supplements that will improve overall constitution of your immune system.

I've had 33 treatments over 5 years on my tattoo at a very good laser center. I know they're using the best lasers for the job. It's faded, but it just won't go away. I'm so frustrated. Is there anything I can try besides the traditional approach?

I have developed 3 enormous blisters after having the Picosure procedure, and I'm growing more concerned now that my ankle is swelling. It's 3x bigger. It doesn't make any sense, especially since it was my calf that was treated and not my ankle. Is this normal? I have no pain.

I had my 3 laser tattoo removal session before 2, 5 weeks, but unlike previous times, it hasn't been healed yet and it looks like a brown smudge. My doctor said that the laser had to go deeper this time so the burning was deeper. I'm scared, is it normal?

How does the laser remove the ink from skin? Is it sucked out of the skin or pushed deeper, so that you can't see it from the surface? Does it burn it off? Thanks!

I understand that black tattoos are the easiest to remove because they absorb the entire spectrum of light that the Laser outputs, but I was wondering, can very dark (heavily pigmented tribal tattoos) be completely removed from lower legs? I realize it will obviously take more sessions, but how many?

I did microblading 3 months ago. I immediately regretted it and few weeks later I did laser tatto removal (Q switch). So far I did 3 laser sessions and every time it makes my skin red and it doesn't remove the ink. I tried at different places and it's always the same result. I now have two very red eyebrows with the tattoo. It's really bad.
