One of the primary reasons why aftercare is essential is to minimise the risk of infection. Tattoo removal involves breaking up the ink particles, creating small wounds that can be susceptible to infection.
By keeping the area clean and protected, you can reduce the likelihood of
infection, scaring and facilitate proper healing. Proper aftercare also helps to soothe the skin and alleviate any discomfort or pain associated with the removal process. Preventing discolouration or hypopigmentation is another important aspect of aftercare.
Avoiding sun exposure, wearing loose clothing, or covering up the treated
area by dressing can minimise discolouration and further skin irritation.
By adhering to the proper aftercare practices, the removal process will be
smooth and give you the desired outcome.
