PicoWay® Tattoo
Laser Aftercare
Protect the result. Support natural healing. Return at the right time.
Aftercare is part of your tattoo removal result. Your skin continues responding after treatment, and proper care helps support healing, reduce irritation, and protect long-term fading.
Immediately After Treatment
What to Expect
Mild redness, warmth, swelling, frosting, itching, and scant to mild blistering or scabbing may occur. These responses are expected parts of the healing process.
Tattoo fading is gradual and often requires multiple sessions.
First 7 Days
