Post Treatment Advice for Tattoo Removal

On completion of a tattoo removal treatment, patients may experience minor discomfort and redness. This discomfort will subside quickly. However, the redness will last for 24-48 hours.

Patients may wash the treated area as normal.

It is recommended that the treated area be coved with an antibiotic ointment for 1-week.

The body will absorb the broken up ink and the area should be retreated every 9-weeks.

Multiple treatments may be required to achieve the desired result.
