Tricks to remove your tattoo with laser painlessly
How to make laser tattoo removal less painful and more bearable
The decision to remove a tattoo with laser is a significant step, but we can’t ignore that this process is not free of discomfort. Fortunately, there are several simple tricks that can make the experience more bearable. If you’re considering laser tattoo removal without pain, here are some tips to minimize discomfort and make the treatment more comfortable:
- Hydration: Hydration not only improves the overall condition of the body but also keeps the skin cells hydrated, reducing irritation and potential laser side effects. Consuming at least two liters of water in the weeks leading up to the treatment, along with the use of moisturizers, will prepare your skin for tattoo removal.
- Exercise: Adopting healthy lifestyle habits, such as regular exercise, stimulates the body, reduces fat, and promotes recovery. However, avoid intense exercise days after the treatment, as sweat can hinder healing. Exercising before the procedure helps prepare the body for tattoo removal.
- Stimulate Your Lymphatic System: Stimulating the lymphatic system is crucial for improving circulation and effectively removing tattoo pigments. The laser breaks down pigments, which are then eliminated by the lymphatic system. Additionally, as the skin is sensitive, stimulating this system helps prevent infections. It’s important to exercise, massage the lymph node area, maintain a good diet, and stay well-hydrated.
- Anesthetic Creams: Anesthetic creams with lidocaine and prilocaine provide localized relief during laser treatment. Applied in advance, these creams numb the skin, providing approximately two hours of relief. They are an excellent option to reduce discomfort during tattoo removal.
- Cold to Soothe: Cold dressings, such as cold gels or compresses with cold water, are useful for desensitizing the area before laser treatment. This technique is especially recommended for small tattoos, as sessions are usually brief.
- Take Mild Painkillers: If your doctor approves, consider taking mild painkillers, such as ibuprofen, before the procedure. This can help reduce the sensation of pain during and after treatment. Always follow the instructions of your healthcare professional and avoid self-medication without their approval.
- Practice Relaxation Techniques: Mental relaxation can have a significant impact on pain perception. Before starting the treatment, practice deep breathing or meditation techniques to reduce anxiety and improve your ability to handle pain.
Remember that tattoo removal is a gradual process and may take time 🕛. It’s always advisable to consult with our MikiTattooKiller team to guide you through the entire process.
