Dr. Kaplan got his first treatment 2 weeks ago.  So how was it afterward?  There was some itching and redness initially but, as he instructs his own patients, Dr. Kaplan used Intensive Repair tattoo removal aftercare lotion for quick relief.  There was no blistering, bleeding, or scabbing.  He is also careful to keep the tattoo covered from the sun or to at least use high-SPF sunblock on the area.

As far as fading, within a week, Dr. Kaplan noticed that lines within the letters of the tattoo were looking moth-eaten.  The two thickest letters have very small areas of fading in their centers.  There’s no question that at least several more treatments will be necessary, but this seems like a good start, with no problems along the way so far.
