Before- and aftercare Tattoo removal

Before treatment


  • The treatment cannot take place on sun tanned skin.
  • Sunscreen with SPF30/50 should be applied regularly; 6 weeks before to 4 weeks after the treatment.
  • On the day of treatment you may not have a cold sore. In that case we will make a new appointment.
  • 5 days before the treatment you must stop using blood thinners. This in consultation with a doctor.

After treatment


  • After the treatment, the skin should not become wet for 24 hours.
  • Do not scratch the skin or crusts, this prevents scarring.
  • The skin must be completely closed before you can swim, practice intensive sports or go to the sauna, to prevent infection. The wound is best left to dry by the air.
  • Up to 2 weeks after treatment use a skin care product that helps the skin recover. For example Alhydran (available in our clinic) or vaseline/ bepanthene (available at the pharmacy).
  • Contact us if your skin shows blisters or still feels extremely swollen, red, itchy or burning after 3 days.
