What should you know about Fractat tattoo removal?

The laser targets pigment while aiming to limit injury to surrounding skin. Ink colour, depth, density, location, age of the tattoo, and your skin tone influence the plan. A tattoo may fade unevenly, and complete clearance cannot be promised. Possible effects include temporary redness, swelling, blistering, crusting, light or dark colour changes, and scarring. Picosecond laser and Q-switched laser are technologies a qualified clinician may consider for different pigment characteristics.

Have the tattoo assessed in person, including any cosmetic or permanent-makeup pigment. Tell the clinician about tanning, medicines, allergies, previous reactions, and a history of raised scars. After treatment, keep the area clean, protect it from sun, and follow the dressing instructions. Do not burst blisters, scratch crusts, or apply household chemicals. Allow the skin to settle between sessions; treating too aggressively can increase irritation and pigment problems.

Contact the clinic if redness spreads, pain increases, pus appears, or the area becomes increasingly warm or swollen. Seek prompt assessment for fever, red streaks, extensive blistering, or a reaction that affects breathing. A persistent colour change or thickened scar also deserves review so future settings can be reconsidered.

Ask which pigment colours and depths are present, which laser technology is proposed, what fading pattern to expect, how the skin will be protected, and what symptoms should pause the next session.
