Tips on TattooRemoval Aftercare

After having a laser tattoo removal, it is very important that you should do the right steps so there is nothing that should go wrong with the results.You may expect that you will get some blisters, crust or scabs that may develop between eight to seventy two hours after the treatment has taken place so you have to know the right aftercare that you will need to do. Here are some tips on tattoo removal aftercare that can be helpful for you.

1.      Make sure that you are using over-the-counter antibiotic ointments for at least three times every day and make sure that you cover the tattoo with a bandage. This will protect your skin from infection that you may acquire from the environment. After three days, you will have to remove the bandage and expose your skin. You can expect the scabbing to last for one to two weeks.

2.      Do not be alarmed with blisters that may appear eight hours after the laser treatment. The occurrence of blisters is an indication that your immune system is starting to take the ink in your skin and the healing process is taking place.

3.      Do not ever pick the scabs, blisters or crust. For sure, you do not want any scarring so make sure that you put your hands off to the area that has undergone the laser treatment. You have to allow your skin to naturally heal. The worse thing about peeling off the scab is that it can result to infection and discoloration of the skin. Nobody wants that.

4.      Avoid exposure to the sun but just in case you’re coming out, make sure that you will be wearing sunscreen in order to protect your skin. You can also wear long clothes that will cover the area. This is very important.

5.      Do not wear make-ups on the area. This may irritate the healing area so you have to be very careful on the stuffs that you apply on your skin.

6.      Do not allow high pulsating water to hit the treated area of your skin. You must not also swim or soak in a bath tub until the scabs and blisters are healed. The water that you’re using may contain a lot of harmful bacteria that can cause infection and scarring.

7.      Make sure that you always consult a dermatologist especially when you are feeling any signs of discomfort.
