Precautions to adhere to after a PicoSure Tattoo Removal Procedure
After each treatment session, you’re advised to minimize your exposure to the sun, and you’re also encouraged to wear a sunscreen of at least SPF30. This is because of the mechanism behind the laser tattoo removal. Typically, the skin cells protect against the sun’s harmful radiation by producing melanin which helps protect the skin. Since the tattoo removal technology targets melanin to remove excess pigment, treated skin will be more vulnerable to the sun’s damage. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, you should protect the treated skin area for at least three months.
