Can I expose my tattoo to the sun while getting it removed?

It is strongly advised to avoid exposing your tattoo to the sun while undergoing laser tattoo removal treatments. Sun exposure can significantly increase the risk of complications such as skin irritation, inflammation, and even hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation in the treated area. The skin becomes more sensitive and vulnerable during the removal process, and UV rays can interfere with healing.

To protect your skin, cover the treated area with clothing or a bandage when going outdoors, and use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher. This is crucial not only during the course of your treatment sessions but also for several weeks following each session to ensure optimal healing and effective tattoo removal results.
