Q: What is the aftercare for laser tattoo removal?

A: For 24 hours after laser tattoo removal it is recommended to use a cold compress to reduce inflammation. It is advised that you should avoid extreme physical activity, hot showers, and saunas. A hustle butter ointment should be applied, as needed for 3 days following laser tattoo removal.

For the following 2 weeks, direct sunlight exposure should be avoided as well as hot tubs, pool water, and salt water until the tattoo area is healed.

Some scabbing, blistering, light bleeding and itching may occur. Immediately after treatment, there may be redness and swelling at the laser-treated site. This can last for a few hours after the treatment. Redness can last for 7-10 days; if blistering do not pop any blisters. Continue to apply one of the recommended ointments until the blister has popped naturally.

Do not pick at or remove any scabs that may form as this could result in infection.

You may take Tylenol to help with any discomfort but avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, and naproxen because they can increase the risk of bleeding and bruising.

Shaving should be avoided in the treated areas until it is completely healed. Massage the treated areas daily for 5-10 minutes to help. Drink lots of water.
