Iron Infusion Stains: What They Are and How to Remove Them
Iron infusion treatments can be lifesavers for people with iron deficiency, but unfortunately, they sometimes leave behind something a little less welcome — dark iron stains on the skin. These stubborn marks, known as iron stain tattoos, can appear after an iron infusion injection leaks iron into the surrounding tissue, creating a permanent-looking discolouration.
At Rethink Laser Tattoo Removal in Robina on the Gold Coast, we specialise in iron stain laser removal safely, effectively, and with minimal fuss.
Why Do Iron Infusion Stains Happen?
During an iron infusion, iron is injected directly into the bloodstream, usually through an IV. However, if the iron leaks into the surrounding skin (a process known as extravasation), it can cause a visible brown, grey, or bluish-black stain.
These stains are not actual tattoos, but they behave similarly to ink under the skin — which is why laser tattoo removal is one of the most effective ways to treat them.
What Do Iron Stain Tattoos Look Like?
Iron stains typically appear:
-
Around the injection site (often on the arms or hands)
-
As flat, dark, bruise-like patches
-
With no pain or raised texture
The discolouration can last indefinitely if left untreated, which can cause distress or self-consciousness — especially if it’s in a visible area.
How Can Laser Tattoo Removal Help?
At Rethink Laser Tattoo Removal in Robina, we use medical-grade laser technology to break down the iron deposits trapped in the skin.
Here’s how it works:
-
The laser targets the dark pigmentation without damaging the surrounding skin
-
The body then naturally clears away the shattered particles
-
Treatments are quick, low on discomfort, and typically require 2–4 sessions for excellent results
We’ve helped many clients on the Gold Coast restore their skin and confidence by safely removing iron stains caused by medical procedures.
