Trust the Process!
Tattoo Removal results vary depending on skin type, lifestyle, precare and aftercare attentiveness.
Informing your technician of your skin condition is key to successful tattoo removal. Keep in touch throughout the entire healing process. Over the next few days, scabs will form over the treated area containing tattoo ink. With PhiRemoval, unwanted ink continues to expel into the scabs as your skin starts healing.
In about under a week, the scabs will begin to flake off, extracting the unwanted ink. And yes, like any other healing process, it's going to be ITCHY. Be patient, and DO NOT PICK AT IT. The Repair Soothing Gel helps a lot with that, as well as the flaking.
You may or may not have secondary scabbing containing even more tattoo ink on the second week. Continue to use the balm until the scabbing process is complete.
As the scar tissues heal throughout the third and forth week, you can apply Defend SPF 30 every day. This helps speed up skin rejuvenation and restoration as well as prevent scarring. You must allow the treated area to heal for at least 6-8 weeks before booking for an additional tattoo removal session.
Regular maintenance and continued use of aftercare products will help protect skin and prevent scarring.
