TATTOO REMOVAL

TATTOO REMOVAL

The use of high-intensity light pulses to break up ink particles

WHAT TO EXPECT:

Immediately after treatment (first few hours):

  • The treated area may appear red, swollen, and feel warm—similar to a sunburn.

  • You may notice some blistering, bruising, or mild pinpoint bleeding; this is normal and part of the healing process.

  • The skin might feel tender or sensitive.

Days 1–3:

  • Redness and swelling may persist but should gradually decrease.

  • Blisters or scabs may form over the treated area; do not pick or scratch them.

  • Mild itching or a tingling sensation is common as the skin heals.

Days 4–7:

  • Blisters and scabs usually begin to dry and flake off naturally.

  • The treated area may look darker temporarily as the tattoo pigment breaks down and your body begins to clear it.

  • Keep the area clean and moisturized as advised.

Weeks 1–4:

  • New skin will continue to form, and the tattoo pigment will fade progressively over time.

  • Avoid sun exposure on the treated area to reduce the risk of pigmentation changes.

  • Healing varies depending on the tattoo size, color, and your skin type.

AFTERCARE:

• Keep the treated area clean and dry.

• Avoid sun exposure and apply SPF 30+ when outdoors.

• Do not pick scabs or blisters if they form.

• Apply antibiotic ointment and a bandage for 3 days post-treatment.
