The best time to start removing your tattoo

What many people don't know is that the seasons when you are exposed to less direct sunlight are the best periods for lasering tattoos. Winter is actually said to be the best season for all types of laser treatments.
However, that doesn't mean you need to wait 8 months if you realize in April that you want to start removing your tattoo. The best time is always right now. But if you're thinking about whether you should tackle your New Year's resolution and start the process, you should definitely start.

Here are a few reasons why fall and winter are the best seasons for tattoo removal:

1. No Sunburn
When you get sunburned, your body's production of melanin increases. This makes the laser less effective on the tattoo and also increases the risk of blisters. The paler you are, the more effect the laser will have.

2. Less Risk of Pigment Changes
The tanner you are when you are treated and the more you expose the tattoo to the sun after a treatment, the more the risk of pigment changes increases. Normally, the pigment changes completely revert so that the skin becomes as usual. But it can take a long time and cause us to have to wait longer between treatments.

3. You Can Let Your Hair Grow
After a treatment, the skin is quite sensitive and it is important not to shave or wax the area where the tattoo is until it has healed. Otherwise, there is a risk of irritating the skin and the healing process taking a little longer. In the winter, most people don't have any problems with letting their hair grow out a little longer and they are often not as thorough with shaving.

4. You Don't Have to Think About Protecting the Tattoo from the Sun
Your tattoo won't see the sun very much during the winter months. One advantage of this is that you don't have to think about being careful to apply sunscreen to it after the treatment.

5. You Avoid Curious Questions
Since you probably won't show the tattoo as often as in the spring or summer, you'll avoid getting questions about what happened to your tattoo. Because your friends will probably become curious when your tattoo becomes blurrier and blurrier with each passing week.
