Laser Tattoo Removal Scars Dallas|Plano|Frisco|Addison
When tattoos are removed with Q-switched laser treatment, scarring is unlikely as long as the procedure was properly carried out and there is good aftercare. Tattoo removal scars after laser tattoo removal may occur as a result of the following:
• If your skin is predisposed to kelloids formation
• Infection of the affected area due to poor aftercare
• A pre-existing scar on your skin
• A scar from a previous tattoo or tattoo removal procedure
• Injury or trauma to the affected area while healing

As mentioned earlier, good aftercare is the key to ensuring that your skin heals properly.
Follow all aftercare instructions diligently. Keep the area clean and dry with soap, apply an antibiotic ointment and use a sunscreen to protect the skin from direct sunlight. Resist any temptation to pick on the scabs or peeling skin.

You are likely to come off with a scar if you’ve used any other tattoo removal technique. And such cars cannot be removed permanently. So what do you do if the scar is such a big deal to you?
1. Use Scar Minimizing Cream

Using Aloe Vera Sap To Treat Tattoo Removal Scars
Tear off a piece of leaf from the Aloe Vera plant and squeeze the sap out directly onto the skin. Rub this into the affected skin several times a day until you start to notice a reduction in the tattoo scarring.
