Tattoo Removal Aftercare
Heal cleanly. Get the best results.
Once you've had your laser tattoo removal session, it's critical to follow the aftercare instructions closely. Following these steps helps speed up healing and prevents complications.
Aftercare instructions
Follow these guidelines closely after every tattoo removal session.
- Keep the dressing on for 2–3 hours.
- Wash with cool water and a mild soap.
- If possible, elevate the treatment area during the first 24 hours to reduce inflammation.
- Apply a cold compress as needed for the first 2–3 days.
- Starting on day 2, apply a thin layer of Aquaphor 2–3 times a day for one week.
- Avoid sun exposure on the treatment area for at least two weeks.
- Do not pick or scratch the treatment area.
- Avoid intense workouts that elevate your body temperature for the first 2–3 days.
Recommended Skincare
Heal faster with the right products
To speed up recovery and achieve the best results from your treatment, we recommend using gentle, medical-grade skincare pre and post-laser. A clean, hydrated skin barrier heals faster and produces a more even result.
Daily SPF is essential. UV rays and blue light contribute to pigmentation issues and accelerate skin aging — protecting the treatment area is non-negotiable.
We offer AlumierMD in-studio and online — mineral, medical-grade skincare approved for post-laser use.
