Removing a New Tattoo

· Uncategorized · Comments Off on Removing a New Tattoo

Every day, I get calls about removing a brand new tattoo.  If you are reading this post before your skin has healed, here’s what to do immediately…

  1.  Apply hydrogen peroxide several times per day with an abrasive wash cloth or paper towel. If you are seeing ink on the towel, gently rub to coax the ink out of the skin.  Don’t be too aggressive, you don’t want to scar.
  2. Let the area dry out. The more it peels, the more ink you will lose.
  3. Clean it frequently. The more washing you do, the more ink you will lose.

You can begin laser treatments 30 days after the tattoo was applied, as long as your skin is completely healed.  Call me if you have any questions or would like a free consultation. 843-580-3702

5 Tips for Speedy Recovery post Tattoo Removal

· Uncategorized · Comments Off on 5 Tips for Speedy Recovery post Tattoo Removal

Many people have tattoos that they regret getting. Fortunately, advances in technology have made it possible to remove these past mistakes ! Laser tattoo removal involves fracturing the colored pigments of the tattoo with a machine that emits a high-intensity beam of light. To prevent skin infections, changes in skin texture, and other undesirable side effects, it’s crucial to follow all aftercare instructions provided by your laser technician. Use the following tips to make your recovery as quick and painless as possible.

1. Keep the Area Clean and Dry
It’s normal to experience a variety of side effects after laser tattoo removal. The most common side effects include redness, swelling, scabbing, tenderness, blistering, bruising, and hypo- or hyper-pigmentation of the treatment site. To help the area heal, it’s crucial to gently clean the affected skin with mild soap and water. Pat the area dry after each cleansing, bath, or shower.  Apply Aquaphor or Bacitracin liberally and keep the treated site moisturized.

2. Deal with Blisters Wisely
If a tattoo is fairly new, dense with ink, or if the skin is highly sensitive, an individual may experience blistering after the treatment. Blistering may appear as one or more bubbles on the top layer of skin. Blistering will typically last three to five days and should not be disturbed during this healing period. If a blister becomes painful, continue to use ice, apply an antibiotic ointment and cover with gauze.

3. Apply Ice wrapped in a  thin towel for pain
Some individuals experience mild discomfort after their treatment, similar to a sunburn. To reduce this discomfort, apply and ice pack (10 minutes on, 10 minutes off) to the affected area as needed in the days following the procedure. Ice packs can also reduce common inflammation and swelling of the skin. Over-the-counter pain relief medications can also be taken. Avoid taking aspirin as it can increase your risk of bleeding and bruising.

4. Wear Loose, Soft Clothing
Redness and tenderness of the treatment site is very common after laser tattoo removal. These side effects can occur for up to 72 hours after the procedure. This redness simply indicates that the top layer of skin is very sensitive and should be handled with caution. To avoid friction of the skin, wear loose, soft clothing that will not irritate the skin. Breathable cotton is ideal.

5. Do Not Pick at the Affected Area
If the area becomes irritated or itchy, you may be tempted to touch or pick at the skin as it heals. As your hands may contain harmful bacteria, it’s crucial not to touch the healing skin unless necessary for cleaning purposes. If the area has crusted over, do not pick at the scabs, as this can cause permanent scarring. The treatment site should also not be shaved until the skin is completely healed.

Recovery after laser tattoo removal is fairly quick and the risk of infection is relatively low. By following the tips above, you can minimize your risk of infection and other health problems even more. By following proper skin care instructions, you can safely have your tattoo removed without further issues.
