AFTERCARE FOR LASER TATTOO REMOVAL

 After your procedure, you may experience some redness, swelling and scabbing and sometimes blistering.
This is a normal process as the body works to eliminate the tattoo pigment. As advised, the fragmented pigment is removed internally by scavenger cells within your body.

An antiseptic powder and a dressing will be applied following your procedure.

Aftercare:
• Following your treatment, the skin will be cooled
• MediPulv Antiseptic Powder will be applied to the treated area
• Please leave the non-stick dressing on the skin for 24-48 hours
• Avoid excessive heat in the skin (exercise, hot bath, shower, sauna for 24-48 hrs.)
• Do not expose the treated skin to the sun
• Use SPF 50+ when in the sun as well as protective clothing
• Do not pick or scratch the treated skin
• Avoid injury to the treated skin
• Once the treated area has returned to normal, apply Bepanthen First Aid Cream twice daily
• The treated area may feel slightly sunburned for a few days and cold packs can be applied for comfort
• The treated skin may remain red and puffy for up to a few weeks
• It’s common to develop an itching sensation in the area even weeks after a removal session

In case of:
• If there is any crusting or oozing from the treated area, continue applying MediPulv after cleansing and cover with a bandage. Keep the treated area covered 24 hours a day until all crusting is gone.
• If blisters form, which is not unusual in early sessions or when your tattoo was a cover-up, do not puncture them. Let them reabsorb or break naturally and keep covered with MediPulv and a bandage.
• Do not pick any crusting or scab as you may cause scarring.
• Avoid swimming or using hot tubs until the skin has returned to normal.
• Should you experience increasing pain, redness, oozing or develop a temperature over 38ºC, after the first two days, please call your doctor immediately.
