What to do before your Tattoo Removal

By: Amapola Wellness MedSpa

To ensure the best and safest experience, please review and follow the instructions below before your tattoo removal session.

✅ 1. Avoid Sun Exposure

Do not tan or expose the area to direct sunlight for at least 2 weeks before your appointment.

Use broad-spectrum SPF 30+ daily on the area.

✅ 2. Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water for 24–48 hours before your treatment. Hydrated skin responds better to laser treatments.

✅ 3. No Topical Products

On the day of your appointment, do not apply lotions, makeup, deodorant, perfumes, or any creams to the area being treated.

✅ 4. Shave the Area (if needed)

If your tattoo is in a hairy area, gently shave it 24 hours before your appointment to allow better laser contact.

✅ 5. Avoid Blood Thinners

For 24–48 hours before, avoid alcohol, aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, and other blood-thinning substances unless prescribed by your doctor.

✅ 6. Wear Comfortable Clothing

Choose loose-fitting clothes that won’t rub against the tattooed area after treatment.

✅ 7. Notify Us If…

Please contact us before your appointment if:

You are pregnant or breastfeeding

You’ve used Accutane (Isotretinoin) in the last 6 months

You have any skin infections, rashes, or open wounds on or near the tattoo

You’ve had a chemical peel or laser treatment in the same area recently

✅ 8. Eat Something Light

Arrive with a light meal or snack in your system. Low blood sugar can cause dizziness or fainting.

❌ Please do not arrive under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Your session will be canceled.
