After Care | Evolve's website

Now that you’ve begun your tattoo laser removal treatments, how can you best care for the tattoo to reduce discomfort or potential side effects? With laser tattoo removal, like any type of procedure, it is possible to experience several minimal discomforts to the area after receiving treatment.

After a laser tattoo removal treatment, there is immediate whitening of the treated area, which typically lasts for several minutes. Many patients then develop blisters or scabs within 12-24 hours, which may last for 1-2 weeks or more. The treated areas may be pink or pale after the scab separates. Loss of skin pigment in the treated area is common and is usually temporary. Avoid wearing tight clothing items that can rub the skin. If blisters appear avoid soaking the skin, no baths,hot tubs, pools, etc if blister oozes use polysporin twice a day. If the area continues to ooze and becomes increasingly uncomfortable contact your primary care physicians office

Healing is usually complete within 6-8 weeks.

To reduce or prevent these side effects, follow these tattoo removal aftercare instructions:

Frosting should disappear in less than 20 min and eventual pin point bleeding wil be minimized
You can apply a non-adhearing guaze pad over the trated area and fix with paper tape.
Immediately after the treatment, there will be a red discoloration of the skin. A small amount of blistering can occur. This normally heals within 7-10 days. The tattoo will apear foggy and begin it's fading process over the next month.
Showering / bathing is permitted after 24 hours, do not use extremly hot water. Gently pat the area dry; do not rub with a towel or washcloth as this may dirupt the crusting / scabbing process.
Protect the trated skin from the sun for the first 2 weeks. SPF should be used for 6 weeks after treatment.
Follow up sessions are suggested after 45-60 days.
Minimal treatment intervals are normally 4 weeks apart. This gives the treated area time to heal. Treatments at less than 4 week intervals do NOT appear to be any more effective.

For any extreme reactions, such as continued worsening pain, abnormal discharge on or around treatment area, severe redness, rashes, please see your Primary Care Physician immediately. If you have difficulty breathing or experience more severe issues, call 911 or go to the emergency department.
