Before your consultation
- Does a larger blister mean better removal?
- What information should accompany a photo?
- Will several ointments speed healing?
General information, not a personal diagnosis or treatment plan. Suitability, risks and recovery require an individual consultation.
Does a larger blister mean better removal?
Do not consider the size of your skin reaction as a measure of your removal performance. the American Academy of Dermatology's Tattoo Removal Guide highlights the process of protecting the skin and managing adverse reactions following treatment. How much the ink fades and how the blister heals are two different observations.

What information should accompany a photo?
Please write down the time that has passed since the procedure, whether the blisters have grown, and whether the pain has increased. If possible, bring photos of the overall location and close proximity, but don't think photos alone are a substitute for medical care. If the responsible agency informs you that you need to check in person, you must visit.
Will several ointments speed healing?
Using products without guidance may make it difficult to determine the cause of irritation or reaction. Please tell us the name of the ointment and dressing you are using for instructions. It is best to avoid self-treatment such as pricking the blister with a needle or removing the scab.
What if the dressing gets wet after a shower?
Follow the dressing type and replacement method specified by the treatment facility. Don't apply the same closure method to everyone based on online descriptions without knowing the condition of the wound. It is helpful to receive guidance before leaving the room on what to do in case of wetness, contamination, or swelling.
When should the next session be reconsidered?
If your skin has not recovered by the appointment date, reevaluation is the first step. Even if you want to quickly remove any remaining ink, don't schedule yourself to repeat the treatment area. Please bring photos of this reaction and recovery time to your next consultation to review your treatment plan.
