Post-treatment care advice: What you should avoid after the treatment

Laser tattoo removal is the safest and most effective method for removing tattoos. To achieve the best possible results, it is important to follow our aftercare recommendations and understand what should be avoided after treatment.

• Since a lot of heat is generated in the skin during laser treatment, which is the most common cause of heat blisters, it’s crucial not to expose the skin and body to additional heat. Therefore, avoid hot showers for the first 24 hours after treatment. It is also important to refrain from intense exercise or other activities that may cause sweating for at least 48 hours.
• Considering the skin is more vulnerable to sun damage during the first four weeks after treatment, it is essential not to expose the treated area to direct sunlight during this period. Always use sunscreen with SPF 50+ and cover the area with clothing for added protection.
• During the first week after treatment, avoid swimming in pools due to chlorine, which can irritate the skin, and in the sea or lakes, as the water may contain bacteria that can cause infections. The skin is a self-healing organ, so allow it to go through the healing process naturally, even if blisters or scabs develop.
• Avoid scratching the treated area to prevent further irritation and do not use strong skincare products with active ingredients such as Retinol, acids (AHA/BHA/PHA), or Vitamin C. Finally, moisturize the skin with a fragrance-free cream that has a repairing effect and reduces itching. We offer Dr. Laser, which stimulates skin cell renewal and promotes faster healing.
• Give your body the time it needs to recover, drink plenty of water, and use the cooling pack we provide to soothe the skin and reduce heat and swelling.
