What is Tattoo Removal?
Removing a tattoo with a laser required an in-office procedure using Q-switch laser, which breaks up tattoo ink within the skin. The procedure is dependent on the body`s immune and lymphatic system, which absorbs the ink molecules and removes them out from the body. Laser tattoo removal is simple, safe, and produces fantastic results.
Before treatment?
3-4 weeks before treatment sun exposure is forbidden. A laser treatment to a body with a tan or sunburn could cause a serious burn or discolour the skin. After having laser treatment, skin has to be protected from the sun until it heals. If the sun`s rays hit treated skin, it can develop another scar.
To heal well and get the best results from laser treatment, dermatologists recommend that patients:
Quit smoking for at least 2 weeks before laser treatment.
Stop taking vitamin E, aspirin, and other medications and supplements that can delay healing.
Stop using skin care products that contain a retinoid or glycolic acid for 2 to 4 weeks.
Take medication to prevent getting cold sores if you`re prone to developing cold sores.
Avoid the sun, tanning bed, or sunlamp.
Do not use fake tans, because some fake tans contain activators that can react with laser treatment and lead to skin pigmentations. Therefore, do not use fake tan products for at least two weeks before or after treatment.

BREAK BETWEEN TREATMENTS.
Break between sessions has to be 4-8 weeks. Removing Ideally, the four to eight weeks waiting time between treatments will allow for complete healing. If the tattooed area is still scabbed or visibly healing from the last laser treatment, it is beneficial to wait even longer. With proper tattoo removal aftercare and a non-sensitive skin type, waiting time between treatments could be minized. If scabs, scars, infection, sunburn, or pigmentation issues exist, the laser treatment should be postponed until the issue is resolved.

BETWEEN TREATMENTS.
In order to shorten skin recovery process, Philaser aftercare gel is formulated. This gel has a cooling effect and is to be used for skin care after/between laser treatments. Optimum quantities of witch hazel, sea chamomile, aloe vera, ponthenol and tea tree essential oil hydrate and soothe the skin thus preventing swelling and redness. Tea tree essential oil is also used tipically for its antimicrobial effect. The ingredients of this rich complex are also known to stimulate regenerative processes that result in faster repair of skin barrier and stimulation of synthesis of collagen and stimulation of hyaluronic acid. This product should be applied on the treated skin region for the firs time 24 hours after treatment, and gently rubbed two times a day. Usage should be repeated for a least 10 days.
