Paramedical Tattooing FAQ & DO’s/DON’Ts

 

How many sessions will I need?

The number of sessions required depends on the type of scarring, but typically, it's advised to undergo between 2-5 sessions for the best results.

 

Is there downtime?

No, there is no downtime. You can resume your normal activities immediately after the session is completed.

 

Is infection possible?

While the risk of infection exists whenever the skin is open, we take extensive precautions to minimize this risk. We use pre-sterilized disposable equipment for each client and procedure, along with strict hygiene practices such as using new needles, gloves, and cleaning wipes. The treated area is cleansed with Viraclean before and after every client to ensure cleanliness and safety.

 

Are the products used vegan-friendly?

Yes, all products used are both vegan-friendly and cruelty-free.

 

Can I use numbing cream?

We do not recommend using numbing cream before your treatments, as it may interfere with pigment insertion and increase pain sensitivity. Additionally, we advise female clients to schedule sessions around their monthly cycle to avoid heightened pain sensitivity.

 

Can I tan/fake tan?

Tanning and fake tanning are strictly prohibited for 20-30 days post-treatment to prevent hyperpigmentation. Direct sun exposure or tanning beds should be avoided for 6 weeks after treatment. If the area is still not fully healed after 20-30 days, continued sun avoidance is necessary. Please consult with your Paramedical Tattoo Artist before tanning to ensure the area is healed.

 

How long does the treatment take?

The duration of a session can range from 1-3 hours depending on the size and areas being treated.

 

Who is not suitable for this treatment?

- Pregnant and nursing women

- Individuals prone to keloids

- Those with cardiac disease

- Individuals with active skin cancer or undergoing chemotherapy

 

If you have any medical conditions, consult your doctor before booking the treatment.

 

During the First 48 Hours:

- Wash the area with antiseptic soap if possible

- Pat dry the area

- Apply the aftercare balm morning and night, as needed

- Wear clean, loose clothing to protect the treated area

- Ensure clean bed sheets

 

Day 2: Routine for 7 Days:

- Apply the aftercare balm every 4 to 6 hours to stimulate healing

- Avoid scratching; apply more aftercare balm if itchy

- Do not remove scabs; allow them to naturally fall off

 

During the First 10 Days, Never:

- Take baths (swimming pool, beach, bathtub, spa)

- Use saunas

- Engage in excessive sweating

- Expose the treated skin to excessive heat, suffocation, or friction/rubbing

- Wear tight clothing such as jeggings or tight jeans

 

Expect redness and slight itching during the healing process, followed by darkening of the area, which is normal. The final result will be visible after 4-8 weeks, depending on individual healing speed. If you experience nausea, you may take paracetamol, but avoid ibuprofen to prevent complications.

 

Laser Tattoo Removal FAQ

 

Can a tattoo be fully removed with laser?

Yes, laser tattoo removal can fully remove a tattoo, but results vary depending on the individual and the tattoo. Patience is key, as multiple sessions are usually required.

 

Does removing a tattoo leave a scar?

While scarring is uncommon, it can occur, particularly in individuals with darker skin tones. However, scarring typically diminishes over time. Skin Camouflage By Jade also specializes in scar camouflage.

 

How many sessions will I require?

The number of sessions needed varies based on the tattoo and individual. On average, individuals require between 6-12 treatments for laser tattoo removal. Larger tattoos may require 8-10 sessions, while smaller ones may need 5-7 sessions. However, the exact number of treatments can vary widely.
