How many days does it take for scabs to form after laser tattoo removal

Tattoos are a very common phenomenon in life. Many people have the habit of getting tattoos. As we all know, many people don’t like tattoos after a long time, so they will use laser to remove the tattoos. Generally speaking, the scab will fall off in about a week after laser tattoo removal. At this time, you must not use your hands to let it fall off by itself, otherwise it will leave scars. At this time, you also need to eat a light diet and eat less high-protein foods.

Top 10 Things You Should Pay Attention to After Laser Tattoo Removal

1) Laser tattoo removal may cause slight pain, and temporary redness and swelling, which will disappear on their own.

2) The scab will fall off in 7-14 days and the wound will heal. Some patients may experience normal temporary pigmentation after laser tattoo removal, which will gradually be absorbed. Oral vitamin C can reduce pigment reflux.

3) During the healing period, you can apply antibacterial ointment or take oral anti-inflammatory drugs to prevent secondary infection. Avoid direct exposure to ultraviolet rays from the sun. Otherwise, transient pigmentation may occur and scarring may occur after infection.

4) Before the scab falls off, the treated area should not be exposed to water, makeup, or rubbing, and should be avoided from spicy food, tobacco, and alcohol. Avoid dark-colored foods such as coffee, Pepsi-Cola, etc. in the near future. Let the scab fall off by itself and do not peel it off forcefully.

Precautions for using laser tattoo machine treatment:

1) Laser treatment may eliminate or reduce pigmentation once or multiple times.

2) Laser treatment is performed superficially and generally does not cause scars.

3) Pigment changes may occur in the short term after laser treatment, but will disappear after a few months.

4) In principle, scrubbing is not recommended within two weeks of treatment.

5) Treatment of small areas will only cause slight swelling locally. When treating a large area, especially around the eyes, there will be noticeable swelling, which will disappear on its own after three to five days.

6) There may be mild redness and swelling, and light brown scabs after laser treatment. Attention should be paid to wound protection and cleaning. Some lubricating drugs may be used. Early scab removal is prohibited and should be allowed to fall off on its own.

7) Perform special facial mask treatment about half a month after facial surgery.

8) The treated area is sensitive to sunlight, so sun exposure should be avoided within three months after treatment. If necessary, sunscreen should be used.

9) Try to avoid sun exposure three weeks before treatment to avoid interfering with the treatment effect.

10) You should avoid taking drugs such as aspirin within one week before laser treatment to prevent easy bleeding.

In addition, there are two situations that require special attention:

① If the patient has a scar-prone constitution, ugly scars may be left behind. Laser treatment should be done with caution. If any problems occur, seek active treatment from a doctor.

② If the patient's pigmentation spots are caused by endocrine factors, they may "revive" after laser removal. Such patients need to combine other treatments, adjust endocrine disorders, use fading drugs, take larger doses of vitamin C, eat more fruits on a daily basis, etc. After a period of time, most skin tissue can return to normal, superficial scars can be smoothed out, and pigmentation spots can fade. However, for some deeper and larger spots and moles, laser treatment may leave scars or pigmentation.
