What impact will sun exposure have on tattoo removal?

As well as soaking up vitamin D, your skin also absorbs the radiation from the sun in melanin. It’s the melanin that turns your skin a lovely golden brown and this is exactly what you want to avoid both before and after you have tattoo removal.

While the exclusive LightSense laser system we use at NAAMA is incredibly gentle, your skin still needs time to properly heal after treatment without the damaging effects of the sun. By exposing your skin to the sun’s ultraviolet rays without protection, you risk prolonging the healing time and a possible change in pigmentation.

Such a big investment in your beautiful new skin is definitely worth a few weeks of shade.

Caring for your skin after tattoo removal

Following a great aftercare regime is the best way to ensure the best possible results from your tattoo removal treatment and avoid unwanted scarring. Our expert consultants will design a bespoke aftercare plan designed specifically for you and your individual skin.

As well as avoiding the sun after tattoo removal, we recommend keeping your skin cool and calm, using specialised aftercare creams and considering lymphatic massage to help your body flush away the ink particles.
