Cosmetic Tattoo Removal Preparation:
Key
Introduction
Proper cosmetic tattoo removal preparation ensures that you get the best possible outcome from your treatment. Whether you’re looking to remove old microblading or an outdated eyeliner style, preparing correctly helps reduce the risk of scarring, infection, and poor results.
People often underestimate the importance of preparing for cosmetic tattoo removal, assuming it’s as simple as booking an appointment. However, it requires careful planning, timing, and aftercare.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know – what to expect from the treatment, how to prepare, and key dos and don’ts to follow — so you can achieve smooth, clear skin.
Tips for Cosmetic Tattoo Removal Preparation
How to Get Started with Cosmetic
Tattoo Removal Preparation?
The first and most important step in your cosmetic tattoo removal preparation is choosing the right clinic. The success and safety of your removal treatment heavily depend on the expertise and skill of the practitioner and the technology used.
Look for a clinic with at least a decade of experience, advanced and industry-recognised technology, fully trained and experienced practitioners, and thorough end-to-end support for its clients.
At Bianco Beauty we provide all of the above, and more! Our specialist team will guide you through every step, from the initial consultation to your last tattoo removal aftercare check in!

What to Avoid as Part of Cosmetic Tattoo Removal Preparation?
For your own safety and for optimum success, it’s important to avoid the following before your cosmetic tattoo removal treatment:
Sun exposure
Avoid sun exposure. Tanned or sunburnt skin is more sensitive, increasing the risk of irritation or infection. Additionally, the higher melanin levels will impact the effectiveness of the laser treatment.
Medications
Avoid blood-thinning medications such as aspirin or ibuprofen as these can slow down the healing process (but only if medically safe to do so).
Always consult your GP or prescribing physician first. Your practitioner will discuss your health and medical history, together with any medication you are taking during your consultation and in advance of any treatment.
Facial Treatments
At least 2 weeks prior to the treatment, avoid facials, microdermabrasion, chemical peels, or dermaplaning. These treatments can irritate the skin and make it hypersensitive to the laser.
Skincare
Discontinue the use of products with retinol, acids, or exfoliants 2 weeks before treatment as these can compromise your skin barrier and increase the chance of unwanted side effects.
Smoking and Drinking
Avoid the consumption of alcohol, nicotine, and tobacco before and after the treatment, as these slow down the healing process and negatively impact the result.
What are the Must-Dos of Cosmetic Tattoo Removal Preparation?
Lifestyle
Support your body’s detox system by drinking plenty of water, eating antioxidant-rich foods, and avoiding alcohol or smoking both before and after your treatments.
A well-functioning immune and lymphatic system plays a key role in removing the pigment particles after laser treatment and this can directly impact results.
Skin Checkup
Knowing your skin and it’s history is important. If you’ve had prior skin conditions, allergies, or reactions to cosmetic treatments, it’s best to consult your dermatologist in advance. This helps avoid complications, minimise potential risks and ensures a smoother recovery. Discuss concerns with your practitioner at your consultation in advance of any treatment session.
What are Some Final-Day Cosmetic Tattoo
Removal Preparation Tips?
24 Hours Before
Right before you get your treatment, make sure you are wellhydrated. Hydration is a must, and your skin and whole body responds better to laser treatment when it’s well hydrated.
For the cleaning of the area, gently cleanse the area with a mild, nonexfoliating cleanser.
Do not apply makeup, creams, serums or oils to the treatment area. These can interfere with the laser’s ability to target the pigment effectively.
