How to proper care after each laser treatment on tattoo removal?

Hello,Tattoo removal can result in either scarring or ghosting.  Here are some tips:
Faster pulse second technology like pico second is a better technology than nano for scarring. Experience can help patients.  Oversight from an experienced physician (best if plastic, facial plastic or dermatology) will likely result in safer outcomes.Stay out of the sun— sunlight can be harmful to healing in after any laser procedureAvoid infections- This means keep your tattoo area clean (i.e. don’t garden right after a tattoo removal on your arm, etc), don’t pick scabs or blisters if they occur.  Follow our post procedure instructions.  Avoid swimming for 48 hours as water can infect the treated areas.Allow healing between treatment sessions- typically 4-8 weeksBe healthy- while the tattoo laser breaks up the tattoo particles, your body will actually eliminate the particles in one of 3 ways.  This will help achieve this process faster and allow for consistent healingBest,

I typically advise my patients to wash the area with soap and water and then apply a thin layer of Acquaphor. And don't bandage it after the first day. You want the area to breathe. Hope this helps.My best,

Thank you for your question about Tattoo removal.You should clean your tattoo with an antibacterial soap or witch hazel, but do not rub hard. After, you can apply a very thin layer of aquaphor. Do not keep it covered after the first day, let it air out. To be sure what is best, see two or more board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have treatment withI hope this helps.
