Avoiding laser therapy for tattoos exhibiting allergic reactions: Risks and clinical considerations by Nicole Werpachowski, BS, Kelly Frasier, DO, MS, Arielle Radparvar, BS, Andrew Pugliese, MSc, Alyssa Forsyth, BS, Rachel Marciano, MS

“…This review explores clinical and immunological reasons why laser therapy should be avoided in tattoos manifesting allergic reactions, focusing on the exacerbation of symptoms, potential systemic hypersensitivity, and increased risk of severe adverse effects. Tattoo inks, particularly those containing red pigments, are known to induce delayed hypersensitivity reactions, driven by the body’s immune response to the injected foreign substances. …”
