The best time to remove tattoos
The best time of the year to start a tattoo removal treatment is on winter. We explain why.
Less sun and less beach
We will always advise our clients to stay out of the sun before and after their laser tattoo removal treatment because the sun’s rays (and UVA rays) make our skin more sensitive. and cause us side effects:
- Irritated skin
- Peelings
- Blisters
- Scars (in more extreme cases)
- Hyperpigmentation (more noticeable in tanned and dark skin types).
Since in winter we cover up more and expose our skin less, it can heal without danger of side effects.
Avoid water activities
Another important reason is that we have to avoid water activities while the treatment lasts. Although the tattoo is supposed to be protected, it can be susceptible to bacteria and irritants that can lead to infection and scarring if the tattoo has not fully healed.
It is impossible to say no to a good bath in summer, for this reason we recommend removing the tattoo in winter.
Forbidden to use lotions and creams
In summer we are always applying creams and lotions without being aware that they can be harmful to our skin, which is in the process of healing. That is why this reason is in third position in our ranking.
Avoid awkward questions
The tattoo removal process is a long process (sessions at intervals of 6 to 12 weeks). Consequently, many people prefer to undergo tattoo removal in winter because we can cover it up with a sweatshirt, scarf or pants and thus avoid constant questions from friends and family about what is happening with our tattoo.
You won’t mind being furry
While the treated area of your skin is healing, it can’t be shaved, waxed, or plucked because these hair removal methods can open scabs and blisters.
In winter we don’t mind if our hair grows a little. We can keep your legs covered without people wondering why you’re wearing pants or leggings.
