Dermatology & Laser Surgery Center Reports on High Rate of Tattoo Removal Complications in Non-Clinical Settings

Dr. Paul Friedman, a board-certified dermatologist at Dermatology & Laser Surgery Center of Houston, was featured in Dermatology News to discuss a recent laser tattoo removal study. The study, which was conducted at Dermatology and Laser Surgery, reports on the experiences of laser tattoo removal patients who sought care at non-clinic settings from non-physicians, in contrast to patient experiences of laser tattoo removal performed by board-certified dermatologists.

The demand for tattoo removal has risen quickly as tattoos have grown in popularity. However, not all tattoo removal practitioners have equal training or equipment. Dr. Friedman has noticed an increase in patients who are seeking corrective tattoo removal after they experienced complications or were unhappy with the results of a tattoo removal procedure at a medspa or other non-clinic facility.
