Aftercare Tattoo Removal
Guidelines for up to 7 days after the session:
-
Change the bandage 24 hours after the treatment.
-
Keep the bandage on for 48 hours.
-
Gently clean the area with a mild cleanser.
-
Apply the recommended cream Polysporin twice a day for 7 days.
-
A burning sensation is common and may last up to 8 hours after the treatment, do not panic!
-
The burning sensation indicates that your immune system is removing the ink; blisters may also form and disappear within 48 hours, serving as protection against bacteria and aiding in faster healing.
-
If you experience significant discomfort, you can take TYLENOL only; avoid anti-inflammatories.
-
After the first 7 days, apply a Vitamin E-based cream at least twice a day until complete healing.
Things to avoid during the week following the session:
-
Do not pick at or scratch the formed scabs.
-
Avoid all sources of heat, such as steam rooms, saunas, or any form of soaking during the healing week.
-
Refrain from sports activities within 24 hours of your treatment.
-
Avoid shaving the treated area.
-
It is strictly prohibited to expose yourself to the sun or visit tanning salons. Throughout the treatment process, it is imperative to apply a SPF60 sunscreen for sun protection.
-
Itching is normal, indicating that your skin is regenerating, hence the importance of regularly applying your Vitamin E cream.
