Aftercare Basics
Aftercare is a very important part of the laser process.
Immediately after the laser treatment the area may be raised, red, bruised and/or swollen. It can feel like a bad sunburn. You may experience a pulsating feeling, like a heartbeat.
The area will feel warm to touch. These sensations are your body's response to the trauma from your laser treatment. Your body has started the process that will break down the pigment in your tattoo.
You can take Advil as needed, but please do not take any aspirin. Aspirin increases the risk of bruising and/or bleeding.
Exercise is encouraged post treatment. Being active helps your body?s immune system to break down the tattoo pigment. Please listen to your body.
If you experience any unusual pain or discomfort during your normal exercise routine, stop your workout.
Please drink as much water as possible after your laser treatment.
