Things to Consider (and Avoid) Before Treatment

Sun Vacation
When you spend a lot of time in strong sunlight, the body produces extra melanin. That's what makes you look tanned afterwards. The problem with being tan and tattoo removal is that the laser can hit the melanin before it hits the ink under the skin.
This means that the treatment may have less effect compared to if you were your natural color. The risks of pigment changes are also somewhat higher if you are very sunburned. We therefore recommend that you wait at least 4 weeks after sunbathing or getting sunburned before being treated.

Spray Tan / Self-tanner
The same principle applies here as with natural tanning. The laser will take less effect on the ink because there is a layer of spray tan in the way. There is also a high risk of pigment changes when the spray tan reacts to the laser. We recommend that you wait at least two weeks until your spray tan has completely disappeared before lasering your tattoo.

Don't Come Directly from the Tattoo Studio

Sometimes you feel immediately that it was the wrong decision to get a tattoo. But unfortunately, there is nothing you can do right away. You need to give your body time to heal before we can start the laser treatment. There must be at least 2 weeks from the time you got your tattoo until we can start the treatment.

Check How Your Medications Can Affect
Some medications can have a negative impact on the healing process, while others may require you to completely refrain from laser treatment until you stop taking them. Examples of medications that require you to refrain from treatment are St. John's wort and cortisone. Medications that act as blood pressure lowering/blood thinning should be checked with your doctor before starting treatment with us. If you are unsure how your medications may affect the process, we recommend that you contact us before booking an appointment or contact your doctor.
