14 Must Know Post Laser Care Tips

1. Wear loose clothing and let your skin breathe without fabric rubbing against it straight after your laser session.
2. You will need to treat your wound with respect and care and give your skin time to repair, so resting up is best immediately following each session.
3. When you get home you can apply a sterile cold compress to the area but not directly onto the skin to avoid ice burn.
4. Avoid vigorous physical activity for up to 48 hours.
5. Don't have a hot shower, sauna or spa.
6. Avoid swimming for 48-72 hours.
7. Avoid direct sunlight for at least two-four weeks, preferably four weeks.
8. Elevate the area where possible to reduce inflammation.
9. Drink lots of water to help flush toxins from your body as the ink will be breaking down through the laser process.
10. Do not pop blisters, pick or scratch the area to avoid infection
11. Do not shave the area until it has completely healed
12. Avoid taking aspirins, ibuprofen, or other blood-thinning pain killers.
13. Avoid alcohol before or after your treatment as this can increase the risk of bruising and/or bleeding including slowing down the healing process
14. Don’t use active self-tanners or get a spray tan for 4 to 6 weeks (before or after treatment).
