A tattoo doesn't have to be forever

When by accident or surgery a wound is made on the skin, a repair process follows that always results in a scar, more or less visible.
Of the scars that are barely visible, either because of their location or extent, or because they are simply not apparent, we will not go into it as they do not constitute any problem.
Amateur tattoos generally require fewer sessions, six on average and professional tattoos twelve on average.
There are, however, scars resulting from an accident or even surgery, which are quite unsightly or even uncomfortable, constituting a challenge for doctors, in general, and especially for the Plastic Surgeon and the Dermatologist, as these patients often turn to these specialists to handle these situations.
We can say that a scar, even successfully treated, never disappears completely, but becoming practically invisible is no longer a problem. Often it is only possible to considerably improve the appearance of the scar and this will perhaps be quite satisfactory for the patient and consequently for the doctor.
Surgical scars, even those performed for purely aesthetic purposes, with the most accurate technique, do not always work well, depending of course on the type of surgery, the location of the same and also, to a large extent, on the ability of the skin to heal "well". When we talk about accidental scars it is clear that the problem gets worse.
