The cold weather is coming and it will be affecting your immune
systems and skin. Since the tattoo removal process is stretched
out, some people may be getting their tattoo removed during the cold season. When it comes to tattoo removal, it is very important to keep up on healthy habits. Being proactive about your health and skin will ensure the best
outcome.
The immune system is the key to removing your unwanted ink. The lasers
break up the ink and the body does the rest of the work. If the your immune system
and skin system is not healthy and strong, you will inhibit its ability to the job.
We encourage all of our clients to be proactive with their
skin care during and post treatment. By doing these simple things, they are
going to get the best results from their laser tattoo removal and have an overall
better tattoo removal experience.
Winter skin care routines should change slightly from summer
time. Just as in summer months, it is encouraged to apply skin protection
from the sun. Protecting your skin from UV rays is important during tattoo
removal and should be at least 25 SPF or more. Ample moisture is important as
well. Skin dries during the cold months and there are a several things people
can do to help their skin stay moisturized. Adding a humidifier to the house,
applying lotions and staying hydrated are some examples. For those removing tattoos, lotion should always be approved by the doctor at your tattoo removal studio of choice. On top of drinking
plenty of fluid, extra tea's like Green Tea or Chamomile tea can be added. Both have been proven to help increase immunity and good health. People can also increase foods with high water
content. Examples of this can be fruits and veggies like melons, berries and lettuce.
To insure the immune system is being supported additional supplements of Vit. C, E and D can be used during winter months. People interested in adding supplemental support to their diet should consult their physician. The lack
of sun during winter and shorter hours decreases the amount of Vitamin D in our bodies. Vitamin C can help boost the overall immune system and the Vitamin E supports healthy skin. Some may also want to add live probiotic supplements or increase the amount of foods with live active cultures
like yogurt. These are great for your overall health and act in supporting the digestive & immune
systems.
The basic daily habits of people going through laser tattoo removal should not be overlooked; getting lots of sleep and exercising is important in the winter time as we decrease the amount of outdoor actives we participate in. Last but not least, smoking and drinking alcohol can decrease your immunity in huge ways, so avoiding these things is a good idea. They will not only make your skin healthier or support the body as it removes the ink throughout your treatments.
