Tattoo Removal Aftercare Advice
The following notes are important. Please read them carefully Before Treatment.
•Avoid exposure to sunlight, sun-beds and fake tan for at least 4 weeks.
• If the tattooed area is covered by hair, please shave the area 1 day prior to treatment.
• Do advise us of any change in medication.
After Treatment
• If the skin has not broken, a dry sterile dressing will be placed over the treated area to protect it.
• The area will become raised and feel hot and can be cooled with the use of a cold compress, ice pack or a
pack of peas from the freezer wrapped in a clean cloth. (Do not apply ice directly to the skin as this can
cause a burn).
• As long as the skin is unbroken cooling products such as Aloe Vera gel can be used to give relief to the
sunburn type feeling of the treated area.
• E45 cream, Aloe Vera gel or Vaseline can be used to relieve the itching which normally occurs 3-5 days
after the treatment.
