Side Effects & Risks
Lutronic Spectra laser treatment is considered safe and well-tolerated, but some temporary side effects may occur. Common reactions include mild redness, swelling, warmth, or darkening of treated pigmentation before it gradually fades. These effects typically resolve within several days.
Patients undergoing tattoo removal may experience temporary crusting, blistering, or sensitivity in the treated area as the skin heals. Because pigment-producing cells can be sensitive to ultraviolet exposure, diligent sun protection is essential before and after treatment. Although uncommon, risks may include temporary changes in pigmentation, prolonged redness, blistering, or incomplete clearance of pigment or tattoo ink. Multiple treatment sessions are often required to achieve optimal results.
We will review all potential risks, expected outcomes, and post-treatment care instructions during your consultation to ensure you feel informed and confident before beginning your Spectra laser treatment.
