Laser tattoo removal is a serious procedure. The experience and results varies from patient to patient. Most studios will give detailed instruction for post care after laser treatment but there are general tips that everyone can benefit from. Those looking to remove tattoos should learn about what is expected and how to care for the treated area before they start their laser treatment.
First things first.Blisters are normal and expected after laser tattoo removal. The blisters are a part of the healing process and clients should allow their blisters to heal on their own. It is not advised to pick at the scabs and or blisters. This can cause infection as well as irritation to the skin. The best thing to do is to have treated area covered and to apply ointment 3 times each day.
Things to avoid include excessive time in water, sun and other skin irritants such as lotions, creams and balms. Oils in creams can cause the area to react in negative ways so only use ointment given to you by the doctor at the tattoo removal studio you choose.
When taking showers, keep the area as dry as possible and limit shower length. It is best to avoid baths, pools, hot tubs and any other activity that would include getting the treated are moist for an extensive amount of time. After exposing the area to water, pat dry slowly and avoid rubbing, this can cause the blisters to pop or peel and result in scaring.
Some people experience pain in the treated area. For this we suggest a cool compress and Tylenol. Antibacterial cream is not needed unless prescribed to treat infection by a doctor after the treatment.
If for any reason the area begins to bleed or show signs of extensive irritation it is important to seek medical help. These could be signs of infection or reactions that will not be helped by ointment. Always seek professional medical help in any cases where there is bleeding, or extreme pain .
Staying healthy is vital to the healing process both before, after and during tattoo removal. Avoiding smoke and other substances that can lower your immune system. To protect the skin from sun it is also recommended that people use sunscreen that is at least SPF 25 or higher as the area will be extremely sensitive. Staying hydrated is helping your skin heal & is vital to the success of laser tattoo removal.
Overall people that have recently had laser tattoo removal treatment or are going to be treated should work on increasing the strength of their immune system and be proactive about staying healthy during the lengthy process.
