Laser Tattoo Removal Aftercare

Once you have had your laser tattoo removal session, it’s critical to follow the aftercare instructions closely. At Studio Kiku, our goal is to ensure that you get the very best results from your laser tattoo removal treatments. By following these instructions you’ll help speed up the healing process and you’ll prevent any complications that may arise from negligent aftercare practices.

Pico Laser Tattoo Removal results at Studio Kiku
• Keep dressing on for 2-3 hours
• Wash with cool water & a mild soap
• If possible, elevate your tattoo during the first 24 hours to reduce inflammation 
• Apply a cold compress, as needed, for the first 2-3 days
• Starting on day 2, apply a thin layer of Aquaphor 2-3 times a day for 1 week
• Avoid sun exposure on your tattoo for at least two weeks
• Do not pick or scratch the treatment area
• Avoid intense workouts that elevate your body temperature for the first 2-3 days

To speed up recovery and achieve the best results from your laser tattoo removal treatment, we suggest using suitable skincare pre and post-treatment. It’s ideal to use a gentle cleanser and hydrating serum or moisturizer to keep your skin clean and hydrated as you heal. 

 
Most importantly, daily SPF use is essential to protect your skin from UV rays and blue light, which can contribute to pigmentation and skin aging.
 
We offer AlumierMD in our studio and online. AlumierMD is mineral, medical-grade skincare which is approved to use post-laser.
