Picosure Laser Blistering

Clinical data shows better clearance in fewer treatments.

Picosure laser blistering.

While the chances of developing a blister are greatly reduced with the picosure laser blisters can occur. Think of the untreated tattoo ink as ink rocks. After your session laser gel will be applied to the treatment area. 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.

With each laser treatment the rocks break down into pebbles and with each subsequent treatment smaller pebbles until the ink is sand. 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. 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. 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. The picosure laser breaks up the large tattoo ink particles into smaller pieces so that the body s immune system can remove it. You will be advised to continue with the laser gel for the next week.

Swelling below the treatment area is a recognized effect of the laser. I have had several of my clients experience this.
