How Can I Prepare for My Tattoo Removal Appointment?

Whether you’re removing an old design or making room for new ink, being properly prepared can help ensure the best possible outcome. At Mobile Tattoo Removal Experts, we make the process as smooth and convenient as possible - right from the comfort of your own space. Here’s how you can prepare for your tattoo removal appointment.
 

Stay Out of the Sun

Sunburned or tanned skin is more sensitive and may increase your risk of complications during and after laser tattoo removal. To protect your skin and optimize your results, avoid sun exposure and tanning beds for at least two weeks before your appointment. Always wear broad-spectrum sunscreen on the area to be treated if it’s exposed.
 

Keep the Area Clean and Unshaven

On the day of your appointment, gently clean the area with soap and water, but avoid shaving. Our technicians will handle any necessary shaving to reduce the risk of irritation or micro-cuts that could affect the treatment.
 

Avoid Certain Products and Medications

Avoid applying lotions, perfumes, makeup, or deodorants (for underarm tattoos) on the area to be treated. Additionally, consult with our team if you’re taking medications that increase photosensitivity, such as certain antibiotics or acne treatments like Accutane. These could affect how your skin reacts to the laser.
 

Dress Comfortably

Wear loose, breathable clothing that gives easy access to the tattooed area. For example, if your tattoo is on your upper arm, a tank top is a good choice. This will make the procedure more comfortable and reduce irritation post-treatment.
 

Manage Your Expectations

Complete tattoo removal is a gradual process. The number of sessions required depends on various factors including the age, size, location, ink color, and depth of your tattoo. Our trained professionals will guide you through a personalized treatment plan during your consultation.
 

Plan for Aftercare

After your session, the treated area may be red, swollen, or feel like a mild sunburn. Avoid strenuous exercise, hot showers, or swimming for the first 24-48 hours. Our team will provide specific aftercare instructions to help you heal quickly and reduce the risk of side effects.
