Tattoo Removal

Protect the treatment area from direct sunlight, tanning beds, and self tanners for at least two weeks before your appointment. Healthy, untanned skin reduces the risk of irritation and pigmentation changes.

Avoid exfoliating acids, retinol, waxing, or other treatments that may irritate the area before your appointment. Do not schedule treatment if the skin is sunburned, injured, or infected.

Clean the treatment area thoroughly before your appointment and avoid applying lotions, makeup, deodorant, or fragrances to the area being treated. Let your provider know about any medications or medical conditions that may affect healing.

Gently cleanse the treated area as instructed and keep it covered if recommended by your provider. Blistering, redness, swelling, and mild tenderness are common parts of the healing process. Do not pick at blisters or scabs.

For the first 24 to 48 hours, avoid strenuous exercise, hot showers, saunas, swimming pools, and activities that create excessive friction on the treated area. Wear loose clothing if possible to reduce irritation.

Apply a broad spectrum SPF 30 or higher once the skin has healed and avoid direct sun exposure between treatments. Consistent sun protection helps reduce the risk of pigmentation changes and supports better tattoo fading.
