How to speed up your tattoo removal recovery

If you want the best results for your Tatt2away process there are a few things that will insure your body recovers well. The Tatt2away tattoo removal process removes the ink into small scabs on the top layer of skin. Once the skin under the scab is healed the ink scab fall off, removing the ink from your system.

It is important to let the skin heal naturally for minimal scaring. Here are 8 ways you can assist your body in the tattoo removal healing process:

  1. Drink lots of water

Drink at least 64 oz a day to make sure your cells are hydrated. This will help your body repair itself.

    2. Eat a balanced diet

Making sure your body has the essential vitamins and minerals it needs will help your body to heal quickly. Avoid eating large amounts of processed foods and fast foods.

   3. Get at least 8 hours of sleep 

Getting at least 8 hours of sleep helps your body recover much faster than the average American who gets about 6-7. So treat yourself and add a few extra hours of shut eye.

  4. Take a multivitamin

We don’t always get our daily recommended vitamin intake on the average diet. So add in a multivitamin to give your body the extra vitamins it needs.

    5. Do not put any creams

If your removal specialist does not recommended any creams, do not put any on. It can make the area swell and become infected. The area needs to breath so the scabs can heal on their own.

    6. Do not pick or rub the scabbing

Picking or rubbing the infected area will cause it to take much longer to heal and may increase the likelihood or scaring.

     7. Do not put soap on or scrub the removal area in the shower

Scrubbing will cause more irritation and will prematurally remove the scabs which will increase scaring. So resist the  urge to scrub or pick when in the shower.

8. Exercise 30 minutes a day

Make sure your heart it pumping to get your blood circulating to the removal area so your body can naturally heal itself from the tattoo removal area.

Keeping your body healthy and your immune system strong will help aid in the healing process and insure your body heals itself naturally.
