Pool time is here and even with those tattoo removal sessions you should still be able to enjoy the water. During our consultations at New Look in Dallas, we often have folks ask us if they are able to swim after their tattoo removal treatments. The answer is absolutely yes, after just a few days. My advice is to always wait until all the scabbing and blistering is gone before swimming in a pool or soaking in a bath or hot tub. This healing process is quick and the more treatments you have the quicker the healing process gets. Tattoo removal should not interfere with your summer plans so have a great time and we will see you at your next session for laser tattoo removal.

Swimming After Laser Tattoo Removal
Monday, June 23rd, 2008Can I workout after my laser tattoo removal session?
Thursday, June 19th, 2008With summer here, we all want to look our best and going to the gym is a great way of doing that. During a consultation at New Look our clients frequently want to know if they can workout after a treatment. The answer is yes. After each laser tattoo removal session we recommend using neosporin over the treated area and covering it for three days. The only challenge you will have is finding a band-aid that will stay on while you workout. Easy enough. Any guaze pad usually works well and transpore tape sticks even if you sweat so you should have no problem.
Enjoy your summer and keep working out. We look forward to seeing you at your next laser tattoo removal treatment or your free consultation.
Am I required to come in every 4 weeks for my tattoo removal treatment?
Thursday, June 5th, 2008No, you are not required. In our Dallas office we often schedule tattoo removal sessions every 6 weeks or even 8 weeks apart. There is no medical reason to have a tattoo removal treatment every 4 weeks versus having more time in between sessions. The summer is here in Dallas and most people have traveling they want to do. Tattoo removal should not interfear with your plans. Schedule more time in between treatments if you need to. Your body will only heal more while you wait.
The exciting news is that with today’s new laser technology we CAN do a treatment every four weeks. This makes the process much faster than before. The laser targets the tattoo pigmentation so well now, your body does not have as much extra injury to the surrounding tissue to heal. However, do plan to wait atleast four weeks in between tattoo removal sessions to allow your body to flush out as much ink as possible. Your body works on flushing out your ink for a full four weeks and you want to get everything out that you can with each treatment.
