Tattoo Removal Care Instructions

The tattoo removal laser treatment may create a superficial burn wound. Some patients may experience bruising and or swelling. There will be an immediate whitening of the treated area, which usually lasts for several minutes this will eventually fade leaving a possible blurred vision of the treated tattoo. Many clients will possibly develop blisters, crusts, or scabs within 8-72 hours, which may last for 1-2 weeks or even more. The treated areas may be pink or pale after the treatment and possibly even after the scab separates. Scarring, which can be hypertrophic or even keloid, can occur but this very rare. Loss of skin pigment in the treated area can occur, and is temporary, except in very rare cases. Healing is usually complete within 4-6 weeks, this will vary.

Care for your new Tattoo Removal:

• 1. Keep the treated area dry for the first 6 hours after your treatment
• 2. Keep the treated area clean and dry while it is healing. Clean the area gently with soap and water and then pat the area dry until scabbing is completed its cycle.
• 3. Blistering is common and is likely to occur as soon as 8 hours after your treatment. Do not be alarmed, blisters heal very well and are part of the normal healing process. Blisters indicate your immune system is healing the area and beginning to remove the ink from your tattoo. It is natural for blisters to pop (DO NOT POP THEM YOURSELF), and this helps the skin to heal faster in many cases. Continue to put antibiotic ointment over the blisters once they have popped for at least 24 hours.
• 4. Do not pick at the scab or allow the skin to become scraped, as this may result in a 3D look to the tissue. Shaving should be avoided in the treated area until it is completely healed.
• 5. Feel free to shower 6 hours after the treatment, but take care to avoid high pressure water directly hitting the treated area. Baths, hot tubs, swimming pool, or any form of soaking is not suggested until all blisters and scabs are completely healed, as they may increase the risk of infection.
• 6. Exercise is generally safe after treatment, taking into account the other after care instructions provided here.
• 7. Wear a sun block with an SPF of 25 or higher over the area for 3 months following the treatment. Do not wear makeup or any cream or medication on or near the treated area for 48 hours.
• 8. Itching is very common due to the dehydrating effect of the laser treatment. Use Aquaphor, vitamin E ointment, or hydrocortisone cream lightly to the treatment area.
• 9. If the area looks infected (honey colored crusting and oozing or spreading redness), if you experience an unusual discomfort or bleeding, if any other complications develop, or if you have any questions or concerns, contact us immediately.
