What To Do During and Post Tattoo Removal


ERASE TATTOO REMOVAL STUDIO OAK BROOK, IL

Often the process of laser tattoo removal is misunderstood. The majority of the work involved in removing your tattoo it is done by your own body. The lasers work to break up the ink and the body absorbs the small particles of ink over time. 

Ultimately the outcome of your laser treatment will depend largely on your own immune system and health habits.

Tattoo removal takes time and each treatment session will be scheduled weeks apart. Proper care of the treated area as well as healthy daily habits will help to ensure your tattoo will be removed.

Overall basic immune system supportive habits include getting rest, not smoking and drinking.  The skin will need to stay hydrated so patients should drink at least 8 cups of water a day and include hydrating fruits and vegetables into their diets. 

Some basic tips for care during the process can include:
  • Stay hydrated 
  • Avoid sun 
  • Wear sunscreen 
  • Keep the area dry as much as possible. Long showers, baths, swimming and extend time in water is not recommended. If the area does get wet the best way to dry is by patting the area slowly with a dry towel. 
  • Patients should always avoid rubbing, itching, peeling scabs and putting pressure on the treated skin.

Blisters are normal and part of the healing process during laser tattoo removal.

 A cool compress and Tylenol can help relieve the pain and pressure after laser treatment. Hydrocortison cream and Aquaporin cream can also help affected areas heal.  There should be no need for ointments with anti-biotic in them and they should be avoided as they can cause allergic reactions.


Some patients increase their overall vitamin intake to give their immune system an extra boost. This can include a supplement but the most focus on making sure they are getting extra Vitamin E, C and Zinc.
