LASER TATTOO REMOVAL
PREP + AFTERCARE

Blisters can happen after laser tattoo removal. If you get a blister, sse a sterile needle and drain the blister each time it fills up, this may have to be done multiple times. Do not cut or tear the blister as this may lead to infection. Do not wrap or cover the blister as this will hold in the heat.

If any scabs are present, do not pick at the scab or allow the skin to become scraped, as this may result in infection and scarring. Shaving should be avoided in the treated area until the scab is healed.

Infection

If the area looks infected (honey colored crusting and oozing or spreading redness) or if you experience an unusual discomfort or bleeding, please contact us immediately. If any other complications develop, or if you have any questions or concerns, contact us and we will be there to assist you.

Use a clean cloth soaked in cold water as a compress to cool the area, then pat dry. This will help reduce blistering, discomfort and inflammation.

You may take plain Tylenol, but avoid aspirin (it can increase the risk of bruising and/or bleeding).

Do not apply makeup, cream, or lotions on the treated area for 24-48 hours, unless recommended by our clinic.

Wear a sun block with an SPF25 or higher over the area for 3 weeks following the laser tattoo treatment.

Avoid submersing the treated area in any hot water for 48 hours or while it is still red.

In the case of any extreme reaction (such as severe facial swelling, severe rash or difficulty breathing), call 911 and go to an emergency room immediately.
