Once your tattoo has been removed, the most important thing to do is to care for the area to ensure the healing process is successful.
Here is how to care for the area after a
laser tattoo removal session.
Keep the area clean
For five days post-treatment, apply a thin layer of antibacterial cooling ointment and cover it with a gauze dressing.
Avoid picking or scratching
Just like with a new tattoo, avoid picking, stretching or rubbing the area once scabs form. Doing so can lead to irritation and scarring.
Wear loose clothing
If the treated area is on a part of your body covered by clothing, opt for loose-fitting fabrics to avoid unnecessary rubbing.
Stay hydrated and eat well
Proper hydration and a healthy diet can contribute to the body’s natural healing process.
Be patient
Healing after laser tattoo removal takes time. The treated area might experience redness, swelling, and even blistering, but these symptoms will subside over time.
