A question we get asked a lot is if laser tattoo removal causes blisters. Dr. Will Kirby answers this question in an article that was recently posted in the Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology entitled Treatment of Large Bulla Formation after Tattoo Removal with a Q-Switched Laser.

Highlights from the article:

• The medical term for blister is bulla.
•  At Dr. TATTOFF we see bulla caused by laser tattoo removal at a rate of less than 1 per 1,000 treatments.
• Most of the bullas we see are at least in part due to patients not following specific aftercare instructions.
• While they can be scary to look at, if the blisters are treated quickly and properly, they heal quickly and leave no permanent scar.
• If treated quickly and properly, the blisters will not affect the efficacy of laser tattoo removal treatments.
