Tattoo removal is a transformative process, and proper aftercare is essential to ensure your skin heals effectively and maintains its health. Laser treatments can be tough on the skin, so taking steps to support recovery and reduce irritation is key. Here are our top professional tips for aftercare during tattoo removal:

1. Keep the Area Clean and Dry

Post-laser treatment, the skin is highly sensitive. Cleanse the area gently with lukewarm water and avoid harsh soaps or scrubbing. Pat the area dry with a clean, soft towel to prevent irritation.

2. Soothe and Protect with Aftercare Products

Using the right products can significantly improve the healing process. Dr Pickle Tattoo Balm, for example, is formulated with natural, hydrating ingredients to calm irritation, reduce redness, and protect the treated area. Apply 2–3 times daily to keep the skin nourished and protected.

3. Avoid Sun Exposure

Direct sunlight can exacerbate irritation and prolong healing. Always cover the treated area or apply a broad-spectrum SPF if exposure is unavoidable.

4. Stay Hydrated

Hydrated skin heals faster. Drink plenty of water and use a gentle moisturiser or aftercare balm like Dr Pickle to keep the skin supple and reduce dryness.

5. Follow Your Practitioner’s Advice

Every skin type and tattoo removal experience is unique. Follow the specific aftercare advice provided by your practitioner, and never hesitate to reach out with questions or concerns.
