TATTOO REMOVAL AFTERCARE
Initially you will have some bleeding, swelling and soreness (often likened to sunburn).
Leave your dressing on until your home or your in clean environment. When you remove your dressing you must wash the treated area with warm
water and a mild fragrance free liquid soap
(antibacterial if possible) to clean away any blood and
body fluids. Leave over night then the following day
wash once a day in the shower and apply a moisturiser
3-4 times daily (Here we have had very good results
using Alovera Gel or Savlon Cream.)
With the moisturiser,. you do not want to overload
the treated area just apply a small amount, just
enough to moisturise the area and prevent it from
drying out. Repeat this regime daily.
Healing varies from person to person, but generally it
takes 1-2 weeks to heal. In this period it is not unusual
for your tattoo to develop a scab or a fine layer of
peeling skin, DO NOT be tempted to pick it, as this will
result in damaging your skin.
AVOID:
• Soaking your tattoo in the bath.
• Swimming pools, spa baths and Jacuzzis.
• Exposure to the sun, sun beds and spray tans.
Do use your common sense, treat the area as you would treat a minor operation, keep clean and dry, don’t touch it unless you are cleaning it.
Don’t let anyone else touch it!
When you dry it pat it dry don’t rub it, make sure the towels is cleaned and only used by you.
