Laser Tattoo Removal
Before
-
We may patch test a small area first to see how your skin reacts.
-
Avoid Sun & Tanning or self-tanner for 2 weeks before.
-
Area should be clean, free of makeup, creams, or oils.
-
Avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, and alcohol 24 hrs before (they thin blood and increase bruising risk).
-
Please inform us if you on taking others medications or has any skin conditions.
-
If treating a tattoo with hair, shave the area beforehand (except brows).
-
Wear loose, comfortable clothes to allow easy access to treatment area.
-
The laser feels like a hot rubber band snap against the skin.
-
You may notice whitening (frosting) of the area, this is normal and temporary.
-
Cooling (ice or cold air) is used to keep you comfortable.
-
Sessions usually last just a few minutes, depending on the size of the tattoo/brows.
-
Treated area may feel like a sunburn for a day or two.
-
Blisters and scabs are common and usually heal within 1–2 weeks.
After
-
Wash gently with a mild cleanser (no scrubs, acids, or retinol).
-
Redness, swelling, blisters, mild scabbing or flaking are normal. Let it fall off naturally, this is part of the healing process.
-
Keep the area clean and dry.
-
Apply a thin layer of healing ointment (Aquaphor, CeraVe Healing Ointment, or Aloe Vera).
-
Cover with a sterile non-stick dressing if the area is weeping or blistered.
-
Avoid makeup on treated brows until fully healed.
-
Do not scratch, pick, or rub the area. This can cause scarring.​​
-
Switch to a gentle moisturizer (CeraVe Lotion, Vanicream) once healed.
-
Protect with SPF 30–50 daily on treated area once healed.
-
Avoid tanning, saunas, hot tubs, or pools until fully healed.
-
Fading happens over time, your body clears the broken-down ink gradually.
-
You’ll need multiple sessions for complete removal or correction (usually 4–8+).
