Pre-Care for Tattoo Removal

  1. Consultation: Schedule a consultation with a qualified practitioner to discuss the process, expected results, and any concerns.

  2. Skin Preparation:

    • Avoid sun exposure and tanning for at least 2 weeks before the procedure.

    • Keep the tattooed area clean and moisturized.

  3. Medications: Inform your practitioner about any medications you’re taking, particularly blood thinners or medications that affect skin healing.

  4. Avoid Certain Products: Refrain from using topical products such as retinoids or exfoliants on the tattooed area for a week prior to treatment.

Post-Care for Tattoo Removal

  1. Clean the Area: Gently clean the treated area with mild soap and water; pat dry.

  2. Moisturize: Apply a recommended healing ointment or moisturizer to keep the area hydrated.
