Laser tattoo removal works by breaking down pigment particles in the skin so they can be naturally eliminated by the body. After treatment, the skin enters a healing phase and careful aftercare is essential to reduce the risk of scarring and pigmentation.
Day 0 to Day 3: Immediate Aftercare
Expect redness, swelling or blistering Redness, swelling or small blisters are normal and part of the healing response.
Keep the area clean and dry Gently cleanse with lukewarm water and pat dry. Do not rub.
Do not pick or burst blisters Blisters must be left intact to reduce the risk of scarring or infection.
Apply aftercare cream if advised Use only the recommended soothing or healing product.
Day 4 to Day 10: Healing Phase
Avoid heat and sweating Avoid saunas, steam rooms, hot baths and strenuous exercise.
Avoid sun exposure Do not expose the treated area to the sun. Use SPF once the skin has healed.
Do not exfoliate Avoid scrubs, acids or exfoliating products until fully healed.
Ongoing Care

Follow your treatment plan Multiple sessions are required for complete or significant removal.
