PICO LASER
PRE-CARE & AFTERCARE

BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT

Avoid sun exposure for four weeks before treatment, including tanning beds.

No tanning products are to be used four weeks before treatment, such as lotions, creams or sprays as they will interfere with the laser treatment.

Avoid blood thinners when possible

Avoid waxing or epilating 4 weeks before treatment.

AFTER YOUR APPOINTMENT

Avoid trauma to the area for the first 7 days after treatment.
Clean the treated area daily with mild soap and water. Pat dry. Do not exfoliate the area

Do not pick, peel, rub, scrub or scratch the treated area

Although blisters and scabs can be a normal response to tattoo removal, most patients will not experience them. In the case that you do, it is important to not pop or pick them. If the blisters pop on it own, keep the skin over it covered with healing ointment and gauze to promote healing.

No swimming or using hot tubs until the tissue heals.

Physical exercise that causes sweating in the area should be discontinued for at least 7 days.

 Always be sure to use sunblock after 24 hours as skin will be more sensitive and prone to sunburn!
