Improving Tattoo Removal Outcomes
To help increase the chances of successful tattoo removal and reduce the risks of side effects, you can try the following:
-
Stick to the number of sessions recommended for laser tattoo removal
Do not stop treatment before you see optimal results since each treatment removes more ink.
-
Follow your dermatologist’s instructions for aftercare
Follow instructions on cleaning the site, antibiotics application, moisturizing, and covering the treated area.
-
Protect your treated skin from sun damage
Discoloration of the site can occur from sun exposure. Avoid sunlight, wear clothing that covers the area, and apply sunscreen that is broad-spectrum and with at least an SPF of 30.
