Tattoo Removal Procedure Instructions

Please review these guidelines before and after your tattoo removal treatment for safe healing and optimal results.

Before Your Tattoo Removal Treatment

Avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, and self-tanners for at least 2 weeks before treatment.
Keep the tattooed area clean and free of lotions, oils, or makeup.
Do not apply numbing creams unless prescribed by your provider.
Inform your provider about any medications, skin conditions, or previous tattoo treatments.
Shave the area if instructed, avoiding irritation or cuts.

Important Pre-Treatment Notes

Recent sun exposure increases the risk of burns or pigmentation changes.
Certain medical conditions or medications may affect eligibility for treatment.

After Your Tattoo Removal Treatment

Redness, swelling, or frosting of the skin is normal and temporary.
Apply prescribed ointment and keep the area covered as directed.
Avoid soaking the area (baths, swimming) for 7–10 days.
Protect the treated area from sun exposure using clothing or SPF 30+.
Do not pick scabs or blisters to prevent scarring.

What to Avoid

No tanning or direct sun exposure for at least 2–4 weeks.
Avoid intense exercise, heat, and friction for 48 hours.
Do not use exfoliating products, retinoids, or acids for 7 days.

Healing & Treatment Timeline

Tattoo removal requires multiple sessions spaced several weeks apart. Fading occurs gradually as the body clears ink particles over time. Complete healing usually takes 7–14 days depending on skin type and tattoo size.
