Regarding your laser tattoo removal session, it will only last a few minutes, as the laser light penetrates the skin tissue and breaks the ink pigment into smaller fragments that are later dispersed by the body.
You should expect the treated area to get swollen, red and sensitive, feel like a burn. Blisters may form and you must not pick at the skin, but let it heal naturally. The procedure is fairly simple and depending on the size and tattoo color, the number of sessions will vary.
Although the procedure is not painful, you may want your doctor to give you a pain reliever, like Tylenol or a local injection to reduce the discomfort.
