Low Incidence of Scarring:
Thanks to our advanced technology and skilled Nurse Practitioners, the incidence of scarring is very low. However, it's crucial to follow certain guidelines to minimize this risk further.
Steps to Reduce Scarring Risk:
Proper Aftercare: Following our aftercare instructions meticulously is key. This includes keeping the area clean, avoiding picking at scabs, and protecting the skin from sun exposure.
Avoiding Certain Activities: Refrain from activities that can irritate the treated area, such as rigorous exercise, until it has completely healed.
Hydration and Nutrition: Keeping your skin well-hydrated and maintaining a healthy diet aids in the healing process, promoting better skin recovery.
No Smoking: Smoking can impede the healing process, so avoiding tobacco products during your treatment can help reduce the risk of scarring.
Risk Factors:
Every skin type and tattoo is unique, which means the risk of scarring can vary. Factors like skin elasticity, age, tattoo location, and the ink used can influence this risk.
