If it is not applied correctly, the heat generated by the laser can damage the skin and cause burns, resulting in more severe scars from the original tattoo, said Dr. Jeremy Hunt, spokesman for the Australian Association of Plastic Surgeons.
\"The only solution is to remove it surgically.
\"This may involve skin grafting, which can lead to serious scars,\" Hunt told the news . \". com. au.

However, the new state health department is currently reviewing the regulation of cosmetic surgery and private health facilities. News. com.
The AU understands that it will wait until the results of the Australian Medical Commission\'s review of the largely unregulated billion-dollar cosmetic surgery industry are announced in January 2016.
This lack of regulation means that more and more patients with failed laser tattoo removal are forced to remove tattoos through surgery, which is the last resort.
The process could cost thousands of dollars, most of which are not included in Medicare or private health funds.
