Tattoo Removal Precare & Aftercare

Aftercare

To promote optimal healing and fading, follow all post-care instructions exactly:

Keep the area completely dry for the first 48 hours.
After 48 hours, cleanse the area gently once daily using mild soap and water. Pat dry.
Do not apply ointments, balms, creams, or makeup to the treated area unless instructed.
Do not pick, scratch, or peel any scabs or flaking skin. Allow the skin to shed naturally.
Avoid sweating, swimming, sun exposure, and steam (saunas, hot showers) for 10 days.
Do not undergo facials, chemical peels, or exfoliating treatments on the area while healing.
Once the skin is fully healed, SPF should be applied to protect the area and prevent unwanted pigment changes.
Additional sessions may be scheduled once all scabbing and flaking are complete, and the skin is fully closed.

To ensure safe and effective removal, please follow all pre-care guidelines below:

Do not consume caffeine or alcohol for at least 24 hours before your session.
Avoid taking blood-thinning medications such as aspirin, ibuprofen, or fish oil 24–48 hours prior unless prescribed.
Do not tan, use self-tanner, or expose the area to direct sun for at least 2 weeks before your appointment.
The area to be treated must be free of any open wounds, rashes, or irritation.
Avoid using skincare products (especially active ingredients like retinol or acids) on or near the treatment area for 5 days prior.
If the area has been waxed or shaved, wait at least 48 hours before treatment.
Stay well-hydrated and eat a light meal before your appointment.
Let your artist know if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have any medical conditions prior to treatment.
