LASER TATTOO REMOVAL AFTER CARE
Aftercare is crucial for ensuring the best results and minimising complications following laser tattoo removal. Here are the essential steps to follow after each session.
1. Keep the treated area clean
Clean the Area: Gently wash the treated area with mild soap and water. Do this 1-2 times a day. Pat it dry with a clean towel — do not rub.
Avoid scrubbing: Don’t scrub or exfoliate the treated skin, as it could irritate the area and increase the risk of scarring.
2. Apply ointment or cream
Topical Ointment: After cleaning, apply a thin layer of antibiotic ointment or a healing cream (such as Bepanthen) to keep the skin moisturised and to prevent infection. Follow your technician’s recommendation for the specific ointment.
3. PROTECT THE AREA FROM SUN EXPOSURE
Avoid Sunlight: The treated skin will be very sensitive to the sun, and sun exposure can cause pigmentation changes, scarring, or irritation
4. Don’t pick or scratch the area
Let scabs fall off naturally: Blistering, scabbing, or peeling may occur after the session. It’s important to avoid picking at scabs or blisters, as this can lead to scarring or infection.
Avoid Scratching: The area may itch, but scratching can damage the skin and affect the healing process.
5. Avoid intense activities
Limit Exercise: Blistering, scabbing, or peeling may occur after the session. It’s important to avoid picking at scabs or blisters, as this can lead to scarring or infection.
Avoid Scratching: The area may itch, but scratching can damage the skin and affect the healing process.
6. BE CAUtious with hot water and showers
Avoid Host Showers or Baths: For the first few days, avoid hot showers, saunas, or baths, as hot water can irritate the skin and cause inflammation.
Use Lukewarm Water: When washing, use lukewarm water instead of hot water to prevent further irritation.
7. Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water to help your skin heal and stay hydrated throughout the process
8. Watch for signs of infection or complications
Signs of Infection: If you notice increased redness, swelling, warmth, pus, or pain, these could be signs of infection. Contact your provider immediately.
Blistering and Scarring: It’s normal to experience some blistering or scabbing as the tattoo fades, but if the blisters become large, painful, or open, seek advice from your laser technician or doctor.
9. Follow Up with your provider
Check-Ins: If you have any concerns or unusual symptoms, don’t hesitate to contact your laser specialist. They will provide specific instructions tailored to your situation.
Additional Sessions: Keep in mind that laser tattoo removal typically requires several sessions spaced a few weeks apart. Each session builds on the last to further fade or remove the tattoo.

Laser tattoo removal faqs
How does laser tattoo removal work?
Laser tattoo removal works by using high-intensity light to break down the ink particles in your tattoo. The body then gradually removes these broken-down particles through its immune system.
Is laser tattoo removal painful?
Pain tolerance varies from person to person, but most people describe the sensation as similar to the feeling of a rubber band snapping against the skin. Topical numbing creams can help minimise discomfort.
How many sessions are needed to remove a tattoo?
The number of sessions varies based on factors like tattoo size, color, ink depth, and the area of the body. On average, it may take between 6 to 10 sessions, spaced 6-8 weeks apart, to fully remove a tattoo.
What colours are the hardest to remove?
Certain ink colors, like green, blue, and yellow, can be more challenging to remove. Black ink is typically the easiest to break down, while lighter or more vibrant colors may require more treatments.
Are there any risks or side effects?
Common side effects include redness, swelling, blistering, and temporary discoloration of the skin. Scarring is possible, but with proper aftercare and treatment, it's rare.
How long does it take to heal after a session?
Healing time can vary, but most people see some improvement within a few weeks. After each session, your skin may be red or swollen, but it should heal within 7 to 10 days.
Can all tattoos be removed with laser?
While laser tattoo removal is effective for most tattoos, results can vary depending on factors such as the tattoo’s age, size, location, and ink color. Some tattoos may be more challenging to remove, and complete removal may not always be possible.
What should I do after a laser session?
After treatment, it's important to follow aftercare instructions, which usually include keeping the area clean, applying ointment, and avoiding direct sunlight. You may also need to avoid certain activities like swimming or intense workouts for a short period.
Can laser tattoo removal cause scarring?
While rare, scarring can occur, especially if the skin is not properly cared for or if the tattoo is in an area that is more sensitive. Following aftercare instructions can help minimise this risk.
How much does laser tattoo removal cost?
The cost of laser tattoo removal depends on the size, color, and location of the tattoo, as well as the number of sessions required. On average, it can range from $100 to $500 per session. It’s best to consult with a provider for a more accurate estimate.
