Things You Should Avoid before Tattoo Removal in OKC

Tattoo Removal

In our more youthful years, we can take part in many activities that we may or may not regret down the line, and getting a tattoo is definitely on the list. Whether it’s a particular symbol that doesn’t hold meaning for the individual anymore, or the name of an ex-partner after a nasty breakup, the reasons for getting tattoo removal in OKC are pretty obvious. However, what you may not have known is that there are a few things you should avoid before getting your tattoo removed via laser treatment.
Reduce Sunlight
Sunlight increases both your vitamin D and melanin levels, and these both can affect your tattoo removal in OKC . The melanin in your skin absorbs the sun’s rays, which can cause tanning/burning and general sensitivity. This on top of any sort of tattoo removal procedure could cause something called hypo-pigmentation, which ends up lightening the skin in the area of the treatment. So, cover up appropriately before getting that tattoo removed! This is an important step to remember after your tattoo has been removed as well.
Avoid Tanning Products
No matter whether or not it’s spray tan or any kind of tanning lotion, the outcome is still pretty much the same. These kinds of products cause the skin to absorb substances (toxins) that will cause adverse effects after getting tattoo removal in OKC. Burns, blisters, and even hyperpigmentation (skin darkening) are all a possibility… so keep away from tanning products before your procedure!
Stay off Antibiotics if Possible
Certain kinds of antibiotics are known to increase skin sensitivity and can even cause negative reactions with the laser removal treatment itself. Even if you’re finished your medication cycle, it’s considered good practice to wait at least 14 days before getting your tattoo removal. Complete honesty with our tattoo removal tech is crucial, otherwise, you may have to reschedule your session.
Don’t Remove a Tattoo Right after Getting One!
Some individuals have regrets almost instantly after getting a tattoo, however, this is one of the worst times to consider tattoo removal! Exposing fresh, irritated skin from a tattooing session to a tattoo removal treatment can cause scarring or even cause some of the ink to hold within the skin. Wait at least 3 months before scheduling your tattoo removal in OKC.
Don’t be enslaved to your past mistakes! If you’re in the market for tattoo removal in OKC, feel free to reach out to the educated staff at Mariposa Aesthetics & Laser Center in OKC to learn more. Contact us today to schedule your consultation!
