Your skin will need some extra care as it heals:

Immediately After:

• The area may look red, swollen, or blistered — this is normal.

• Apply a cool compress (not ice directly) to reduce discomfort.

• Your technician may apply a soothing ointment and cover with a sterile dressing.

First 3–5 Days:

• Keep the area clean, dry, and lightly covered if needed.

• Apply the recommended ointment (like aloe vera or antibiotic cream) as directed.

• Do not pick, scratch, or pop blisters — this can cause scarring.

What to Avoid (First 1–2 Weeks):

• No swimming, hot tubs, or saunas.

• Avoid heavy exercise or sweating that irritates the area.

• No direct sun exposure — keep the area covered or apply SPF once healed.

• Avoid makeup, creams, or fragranced products on the treated area until fully healed.

Healing Phase (Up to 2 Weeks):

• The skin will scab, flake, and peel — this is normal.

• Allow the skin to heal naturally for best results.

• Sessions are usually spaced 6–8 weeks apart to allow full recovery before the next treatment.

Long-Term Care

• Always protect the area from the sun with SPF 30+ once healed.

• Keep skin hydrated for better healing.

• Be patient — complete removal takes multiple sessions and varies with each tattoo.
