Does Laser Tattoo Removal Hurt?

The unfortunate thing about tattoos is that both getting them and having them taken off can be uncomfortable. The impact of the energy from the laser's powerful pulse of light has been described as similar to being snapped by a thin rubber band. Because black pigment absorbs all laser wavelengths, it's the easiest to remove. Other colors, such as green, selectively absorb laser light and can only be treated by selected lasers based on the pigment color.

In preparation for a laser procedure, doctors recommend that non-aspirin products, like Tylenol, be used prior to the procedure. Aspirin and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents such as Ibuprofen are not recommended because they can produce pronounced bruising after treatment.

Further pre-treatment steps might include the application of an anesthetic cream two hours before the laser begins. It is wiped off just before laser begins. Other patients prefer to have a local anesthetic injected into the tattoo prior to laser therapy.
