Irezumi Ink: laser tattoo removal aftercare

---

Following the right aftercare is essential for proper healing, avoiding complications, and getting the best results from your removal sessions. 

• Keep it clean and dry for the first 48 hours. Gently cleanse the ares with mild, fragrance-free soap if needed. 
• Apply a cold compress (not ice) to reduce swelling and discomfort. 
• Use a healing ointment like aloe Vera or a recommended aftercare balm if the skin feels tight or dry. 
• Cover loosely with a sterile, non-stick bandage, if necessary, especially if clothing might rub the area. 
• Let it breathe when possible- but protect it from dirt and bacteria. 
• Stay hydrated and give your immune system what it needs- rest, water, and a balanced diet helps your body flush out the ink. 

• No scratching, picking, or peeling- even if it scabs or blisters. This can lead to scarring and slow healing. 
• No makeup, lotions, or perfumed products on the area for at least 7 days. 
• Avoid sun exposure - fresh laser treated skin is sensitive. Always use SPF 50 once healed. 
• No hot tubs, swimming, or saunas for 7-10 days post treatment. 
• No heavy exercise or tight clothing that rubs the area for at least 48 hours. 

• Redness, swelling, itching, and slight blistering are all normal in the first few days. 
• The area may scab and flake- this is part of the healing process. 
• It can take 1-2 weeks for the skin to heal between the sessions. 
• Complete fading happens gradually- your body removes the ink over several weeks after each session. 

If you experience: 

• Signs of infection (increased pain, heat, pus, or a foul smell). 
• Sever blistering or prolonged bleeding
• Concerns about scarring or abnormal healing
