The only stupid questions are the ones not asked!
The laser thing...I'm pretty sure you need to be a dermatologist to do tattoo removal. I could be wrong about those qualifications, since I'm not a medical aesthetician myself. When I refer to lasers, I mostly mean like hair removal. If you go onto groupon you can see a bunch of places listed for hair removal. The money is good there, but the people I've met who do it are super bored because they just push a button all day and miss the client interaction.
Dermabrasion, in this case would be like tiny crystals. As long as the esthetician knows what they're doing it's really safe and I've seen the most -awesome- results from it. I did it on my sister once and her skin was totally different. On other people, nothing happens. It's a more aggressive form of exfoliation (like if you use a scrub on your face at the sink, you're getting rid of the dead skin) that can really make a huge difference on hyperpigmentation or acne scars. Those things are a pain.
It doesn't hurt. My clients reactions sometimes vary. One of them said it tickled. Another said it felt like a cat licking her.
