PRE AND POST TREATMENT ADVICE

PRE TREATMENT

• Avoid exposure to sunlight, sun-beds and fake tan for at least 4 weeks. 
• If the tattooed area is covered by hair, please shave the area 1 day prior to treatment. 
• Do advise us of any change in medication.

AFTER TREATMENT

• If the skin has not broken, a dry sterile dressing will be placed over the treated area to protect it. 
• The area will become raised and feel hot and can be cooled with the use of a cold compress, ice pack or a pack of peas from the freezer wrapped in a clean cloth. (Do not apply ice directly to the skin as this can cause a burn). 
• As long as the skin is unbroken cooling products such as Aloe Vera gel can be used to give relief to the sunburn type feeling of the treated area. 
• E45 cream, Aloe Vera gel or Vaseline can be used to relieve the itching which normally occurs 3-5 days after the treatment.

WHILST HEALING

• Avoid restrictive clothing. 
• Avoid perfume or body lotions to the area. 
• Avoid hot baths or continuous soaking. 
• Avoid heat treatments such as saunas and steam rooms.  
• Avoid swimming. 
• Avoid lying in the sun or using sun beds. 
• Avoid picking at any scabs. 
• Avoid allowing the area to become scrapped.
