Laser Tattoo Removal Procedure 🌟
- Consultation: Evaluate the tattoo size, color, and age. Discuss the client’s expectations, procedure details, potential results, risks, and aftercare.
- Patch Test: Perform a patch test 24 to 48 hours prior to the full treatment to assess skin reaction and sensitivity.

- Clean the Treatment Area: Cleanse the tattooed area carefully, removing any dirt, oil, or residue to maximize laser effectiveness.
- Mark the Treatment Area: Clearly outline the tattoo area using a white pencil to guide precise laser application.
- Numbing Cream (Optional): If requested by the client, apply numbing cream and allow it to sit for approximately 20 minutes before beginning the procedure.
- Eye Protection: Provide and ensure proper protective eyewear is worn by both the client and the technician to safeguard against laser exposure.
- Laser Treatment: Perform the tattoo removal process, carefully selecting the appropriate laser wavelength and intensity based on tattoo characteristics and skin type.
Post-Treatment Care:
