Your guide to aftercare following laser tattoo removal services
If you have visited the Laser Center of Orlando for laser tattoo removal, you may have questions about how to care for the area after your appointment. Asking these questions is vital to ensure the best results and lower the risk of potential complications. Our providers serve Orlando, Florida, area clients and can educate you on aftercare instructions following each appointment. Let’s review some frequently asked questions to provide you with a care guide.
Can I exercise after a tattoo removal session?
Lay low and relax for about 24–48 hours following your laser tattoo removal treatment. Sweating can irritate the treated area, and you don’t want unnecessary swelling. After a couple of days, you should be ready to return to your daily routine.
How do I take care of the treated area?
Laser tattoo removal aftercare is relatively easy. Keep the area dry and clean. Apply an antibiotic ointment to keep any infection at bay, and cover it with a non-stick bandage. Avoid picking at scabs if they form to ensure your skin heals properly.
Can I go back to lounging in the sun?
It is a good idea to be prudent about protecting your skin from the sun, especially if you are out for extended periods or during the day when the sun’s rays are the strongest. Protect the treated area of the body from any direct sunlight for at least a week or two. Use sunscreen religiously after that to keep your skin from experiencing hyperpigmentation issues and reduce your risk of developing skin cancer.

Will there be scarring?
Scarring is rare if you follow the aftercare instructions. Be gentle with your skin by avoiding scratching and keeping it hydrated.
When can I shower?
Good news—you can shower the same day, but make it quick and avoid hot water. Oh, and no scrubbing or long bubble baths for now. Pat the area dry gently afterward, and do not rub the skin.
How long until I can see results?
Patience is key! It can take multiple sessions to fully fade a tattoo, with some time between sessions for healing. Your tattoo will gradually fade with each treatment, and proper aftercare will ensure the best results.
