What To Do Before Your Laser Tattoo Removal Or Fading Treatment

TWO WEEKS BEFORE YOUR TREATMENT…

  • Avoid prolonged, direct sun exposure and tanning beds.
  • Avoid spray tans and any other kind of self-tanners on the area of your tattoo.
  • Apply sunscreen SPF 30+ when outdoors, and cover the tattoo with protective clothing or an adhesive bandage.
  • Avoid any aesthetic treatments that may cause irritation to your skin in the treatment area.

THE DAY OF YOUR TREATMENT…

  • Remove any products such as, lotion, sunscreen, makeup, spray tan etc. from the area of your tattoo. If you forget this one, we’ll have wipes on hand.
  • Shave the area of your tattoo if needed, in the direction that the hair grows with a new, clean razor and moisturizing shaving gel.
