Tattoo fading; working out and faster results
Answer: Tattoo Removal and a healthy lifestyle Thanks for your question, although working out won't directly effect your tattoo's removal process, it is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle while undergoing tattoo removal. The laser breaks up the tattoo's pigment, but it is ultimately your body's job to dispose of it. Here are some tips. Good luck!Tattoo removal, if not done correctly, can result in either scarring or ghosting. Here are some tips: Find a reputable office with a Pico laser. It produces faster results with less scarring than a nano alone. Tattoo removal shops are not as reputable as a Doctor. Many of these shops close as quickly as they open, leaving you out of luck on pre-paid packages.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 weeks.Be healthy- while the tattoo laser breaks up the tattoo particles, your body will actually eliminate the particles. Being healthy will help achieve this process faster and allow for consistent healing. Drink lots of water, get adequate sleep, and eat vitamin enriched foods.In our practice we utilize the currently most powerful Pico laser on the market called the PiQo4 by Lumenis. The main advantage of a stronger tattoo laser (combining nano and pico wavelengths at greater power) is faster breakup of the tattoo. The science of tattoo removal is complex but essentially the greater power will photo acoustically break up tattoo particles in smaller pieces. Best, Anil Shah

Answer: Tattoo Removal and Working Out Thank you for your question. No, working out will not affect the results of your tattoo removal. The laser works by breaking up the tattoo’s pigment, but it is your body’s job to dispose of the ink. If you have any concerns please follow up with your treating physician. Best of Luck!
