- Avoid direct sun exposure on the treatment area for at least 2 weeks prior to the treatment. This is because sun exposure can increase the risk of skin damage and reduce the effectiveness of the treatment.
- Refrain from consuming alcohol, drugs or any other blood thinning medications before the treatment as it may lead to excessive bleeding during the procedure.
- The treatment area must be shaved before the procedure. This will ensure that the laser targets the tattoo ink and not the hair on the skin.
- Apply a moisturizing cream on the area being treated at least a week before the treatment. This will keep the skin hydrated and reduce the risk of skin damage.
- Avoid using any harsh soaps, exfoliants, or scrubs on the treatment area as it may lead to skin irritation.
- Do not wet the treated area for at least 24 hours after the treatment. Avoid swimming, hot tubs or any other activity that may cause excessive sweating for a few days after the treatment.
- Applying an ice pack on the treated area for 10-15 minutes every hour for the first few hours after the treatment can help reduce swelling and discomfort.
- Avoid direct sun exposure on the treated area for at least 2 weeks after the treatment. Sun exposure may cause skin damage and increase the risk of scarring.
- Keep the treated area clean and dry.
