![]() If you are thinking about getting your tattoo removed, or perhaps already undergoing laser treatment, it is important that you educate yourself on how to properly care for your body and skin during the treatment process. While the laser breaks down the ink, it is up to your body to flush out those broken down ink particles. The healthier you are, the more efficient your bodily functions will be. Namely, it is the lymphatic system that rids our bodies of foreign objects such as ink particles. Keep in mind that it takes time for the body to process the ink once it is broken down - this is why fading may not be noticeable until 4-6 weeks post treatment. Using laser technology to remove tattoos is undoubtedly the safest and most effective way available, but lasers put a significant amount of heat and energy into the skin and, although uncommon, adverse reactions can occur. Luckily, there a few things you can do to ensure faster fading and significantly lower the chances of any negative side effects. Remember: LESS IS MORE. Seriously, leave it alone and drink some water. Check out all of the guidelines and tips to ensure your body is breaking down the tattoo ink to the best of its ability!
There are some side effects to laser tattoo removal, and there are specific ways to sooth your skin to allow your body to recover and remove your tattoo.

Thanks for the tip about letting the treated area breathe and only bandage it when necessary and don't wear restrictive clothing over the treated spot. My husband has a tattoo on his shoulder he wants removed since he got it when he was 18 and doesn't feel like it represents him much now. I'll have to tell him about after the laser tattoo removal that he needs to makes sure his should can breathe and not wear tight shirts on it.

I really liked it when you said that in order to help the treated skin heal faster, it is best to keep is exposed to the air and only securing or wrapping it whenever necessary. My sister will be getting her tattoo removed a few days from now, and she wants to know what she can do to quicken the healing process. She is the type of person who prefers to have her wounds covered so as to not get them infected, so I think she should know this part the most.

My cousin has a tattoo of a butterfly near her elbow, but her current employer doesn't allow visible tattoos so she needs to get it removed. That it is better to allow time for your arm to heal between treatments because the skin needs more time to break down the ink is interesting. I'll make sure she keeps this in mind when scheduling appointments after she has decided on where to go.

After the laser treatment, the treated zone may seem like an ostensible burn wound. Some may experience swelling, and scabbing immediately after the execution of the laser therapy. You have to follow the basic guidelines including- keeping the treated area bandaged and protected with a thin layer of healing ointment for at least 3 days, apply cool compresses, avoiding high water pressure when taking shower, wearing a sunblock in order to avoid unwanted side effects and achieve excellent results.

Thanks for the advice for taking care of a tattoo removal afterwards. I'm glad you mentioned that you need to drink a lot of water. I'm interested to learn if there's a recommended amount of water you need to try to drink afterwards.

It's good to know that you're supposed to keep the area dry and exposed! My wife has been thinking about removing some permanent makeup she had done a while ago, and we've been hearing that aftercare is an important part of the process. We had thought that would mean putting lotion and bandages on it, but apparently that's the opposite of what you're supposed to do. We'll definitely have to talk to the laser tech if we go in and make sure we know how to best take care of the skin throughout the process.
