To get the most optimal results from your laser treatments, there are certain factors to consider. Laser treatment are terrific for most but not for everyone.
You are pregnant or breastfeeding. Health risk with laser tattoo removal is low, with no research to suggest there’s a risk. However, it isn’t 100% impossible for laser tattoo removal to be unsafe for you or your baby. The FDA has no regulations on tattoo pigments. Therefore manufacturers are not forced to disclose the ingredients. As a result of this, we do not know how any given pigment will respond to a laser treatment.
To error on the side of safety, we do not perform laser tattoo removal on pregnant women.
You are prone to keloids. Individuals who are prone to form keloids, tattooing and Laser Tattoo Removal, can cause the formation of keloids. Those who are prone to form keloids, or those with a family history of keloids should avoid getting tattoos and should refrain from Laser treatments.
You are on Antibiotics, Retinol or Accutane. Accutane is a medication derived from vitamin A (like Retinol) and is used to treat severe acne.
