Laser Aftercare

Your skin’s healing is just as important as the treatment itself. We’ll guide you through every step — including comprehensive aftercare support tailored to your treatment area.

Following your laser tattoo removal, you can expect some temporary redness, swelling, or sensitivity. These are completely normal and part of your skin’s natural healing response.

To support a smooth recovery:

On the day - apply a cold compress intermittently to soothe swelling.
Keep the area clean and dry for the first few days.
Avoid touching, picking, or rubbing the area.
Avoid heat, including saunas, steam rooms, and intense exercise for 48 hours.
Do not expose the area to the sun or sunbeds — protect with clothing and use high SPF.
Skip makeup or skincare on the treated area until the skin has fully settled.
In the rare instance that any blisters or scabbing occur, do not pop or pick — allow the skin to heal naturally.

What to expect:

The tattoo may appear lighter immediately (this is known as "frosting") but will darken again before fading.
With body tattoos, the pigment may initially appear more visible after the first few sessions. This is due to the breakdown of the natural glycolic layer in the skin, which normally diffuses light and softens the appearance of the tattoo. As this layer disperses, the pigment can appear clearer before it begins to fade.
Fading continues over the following 4–12 weeks and beyond.
Some clients may experience mild itching or warmth - this is normal and temporary.
We recommend avoiding any new tattoos or PMU in the area for at least 8 weeks.

We’ll provide you with detailed aftercare instructions following your appointment. If you have questions or concerns during your healing process, you can always contact us, we’re here to help.
