Pre Treatment:

• You may take an advil/tylenol to help with discomfort.

• Come with the area clean and shaven.

• Avoid heavy sun exposure, we can't work over a sunburn.

Post Treatment:

• A skin dressing will be used with antibiotic ointment. This stays on for 24 hours.

• Avoid getting the area wet for those 24 hours.

• Never exfoliate, scrub or pick at the crust/scabbing. It's important to let the body heal.

• After the crust peels off naturally use SPF 30+ on the area when in the sun.

• Use an antibiotic ointment every morning and night to speed up the healing.

Your skin will appear "frosted" and red immediately after, with some swelling around the area. A skin wrap will be used to keep the area protected for the first day. Once the healing process starts you may notice itchiness and scabbing. In some cases PIH (hyperpigmentation) can occur. When this happens use hydroquinone to help fade any pigment.

The area will be dressed and bandaged with a skin wrap but most people go about their day after.

Several factors influence the number of sessions needed, including the tattoo's size, location, depth, and color.

Sessions are spaced 4 to 8 weeks apart to allow your body time to eliminate tattoo pigment.

These treatments are typically uncomfortable but we can go at whatever pace you'd like and use a topical numbing cream before hand.

Dark ink (black, dark blue) is best but we can treat red ink as well.
