To achieve the best results and reduce your risk of serious side effects like scarring, burns, and other wounds, make sure the person treating you is a doctor who is extremely skilled in using lasers and has in-depth knowledge of the skin.
Wash the treated area with water and a gentle cleanser twice a day. Then, with a clean cotton swab, apply petroleum jelly to the affected area. This will keep the skin moist and prevent it from drying out or forming scabs. Cover the treated area with a dressing to prevent infection until the skin heals.
Sunscreen should be applied to the treated skin. Keep the treated area out of direct sunlight because it is more susceptible to sun damage, which can cause colour changes on your skin. Wear protective clothing when going outside, such as a lightweight, long-sleeved shirt, pants, or a wide-brimmed hat. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher once the treated skin has healed.
Picking at flaking, peeling, blisters, or scabs should be avoided. Do not pop any blisters as this can lead to an infection.
Understand what’s normal and what’s not. As your skin heals after a laser tattoo removal session, you may experience some redness, swelling, and blistering.
