Step 1 of 3
Laser treatment for tattoo removal is still a relatively new medical cosmetic procedure and long-term studies are ongoing, though no long term side effects have been discovered to date.
Different colour tattoo pigments may respond at different rates so that some coloured areas may require more treatments than others. To achieve optimal benefit, multiple treatments may be necessary about 6-8 weeks apart. There may be discomfort/pain resulting from the treatment. A white-grey discoloration of the treatment area may appear immediately following treatment and last for a few minutes to a few days. This may be replaced with an erythema (temporary redness/swelling) which may persist for several days. A scab may form at the treatment area and drop off in 7-10 days. It may be helpful to use an anti-bacterial ointment on the treated area and to cover it with a dressing for a few days after PicoWay treatment. This will protect the skin from being abraded and the site infected, a potential source of scar formation.
Clients should use daily a broad-spectrum (UVA/UVB) sunscreen SPF 30 or greater before, during and after the course of treatment. The treated area should be cared for delicately until healing is complete. Care should be taken to prevent trauma to the treated area for the first 7-10 days following treatment. Excessive perspiration to the treated area may cause tissue disruption. Physical exercise (gym, lawn mowing, sport activities etc.) should be discontinued for 1 to 2 days to reduce the risk of infection. Clients should not participate in any rough physical activities (playing football etc.) for 10 days after treatment.
Redness is a common side effect and may last a few hours to a couple of days after treatment
Apply Eden Skin soothing gel as recommended twice a day for 3 – 4 days until the skin has recovered. It is essential that you purchase Eden Skin formulated products for best results
Until redness has completely subsided, avoid the following:
Perfumed lotions or creams, exfoliants, loofah sponges, Retin-A products etc.
Very hot and very cold water – use tepid water
shaving
swimming in pools and spas with multiple chemicals
activities that cause heavy perspiration
sun exposure of the treatment area (ongoing)
In case of crusting or swelling of the skin apply soothing gel as recommended. Do NOT pick or scratch the area as this may lead to infection and scarring.
