š Aftercare Guide: Q-Switched + COā Fractional Laser Combination
Getting both Q-switched tattoo removalĀ and COā fractional laserĀ in the same session is one of the most powerful ways to remove ink and improve skin quality. But proper Tattoo Removal AftercareĀ is essential to get the best results and avoid complications.
This guide makes it simple ā with clear timelines so you know exactly what to do each day.
šļø Phase-by-Phase Tattoo Removal Aftercare
Phase | Timeline | What Happens | What to Do |
Immediate After Treatment | First 2 hours | Skin feels hot, red, and inflamed. Frosting is normal. | ⢠Technician applies Fucidin Cream (Red Label) and covers with sterile adhesive. ⢠Keep bandage on for max 2 hours. ⢠Use an ice pack on top of the bandage to minimize swelling. |
Cooling & Comfort Phase | After bandage removal (Day 0) | Inflammation starts calming. Discomfort decreases gradually. | ⢠Gently tap area with a clean tissue to remove old cream. ⢠Re-apply Fucidin Cream (Red Label) every 4 hours. ⢠Continue using ice packs if needed. ⢠Keep the area under a fan to cool until discomfort stops. |
Initial Healing | Day 1ā10 | Micro-crusts start forming, skin remains pink or red. | ⢠Switch to Fucidin Ointment (Orange Label)Ā and apply 2Ć daily. ⢠Clean gently once a day with antibacterial baby foam. ⢠Avoid soaking ā keep direct water contact minimal for 7 days. |
Secondary Healing | Day 11ā20 | Skin stabilizes, crusts naturally fall off. | Choose one: ⢠Continue Fucidin Cream (Red Label)Ā 2Ć daily, OR ⢠Better option:Ā Apply a medical-grade silicone sheetĀ daily to promote scar-free healing. |
Long-Term Protection | Day 21ā40 | Skin continues repairing internally; risk of pigment changes if exposed to sun. | ⢠Keep the area clean and dry. ⢠Use SPF 50+ after Day 30 if sun exposure is unavoidable. ⢠Continue silicone therapy until redness fades. |
