Before your laser tattoo removal treatment at Skin With Benefits, follow these steps to ensure optimal results and minimize risks:
Avoid sun exposure and tanning (including self-tanners) on the treatment area for at least 2 weeks before your session.
Shave the area the night before (if applicable) to allow better laser penetration.
Do not use retinols, acids, or harsh exfoliants on the area for 5–7 days before treatment.
Stay hydrated and eat a light meal beforehand to help reduce discomfort.
Let us know if you're on antibiotics, have a cold sore history, or are pregnant/breastfeeding.
Proper aftercare is key to healing and fading your tattoo safely and effectively:
Keep the area clean and dry for the first 24 hours.
Apply a thin layer of Aquaphor or healing ointment 2–3 times daily for up to a week or until fully healed.
Avoid sun exposure and wear SPF 30+ daily on the treated area to prevent pigment changes.
Do not pick, scratch, or pop any blisters or scabs—this can cause scarring.
Avoid hot tubs, pools, saunas, and heavy workouts for 24–48 hours.
Wear loose clothing over the treated area to prevent irritation.
Most clients in Fishers and Indianapolis require 6–10 sessions spaced 8 weeks apart, depending on tattoo depth, color, and age. Book your free consultation today to build a custom removal plan at my Indianapolis Laser Center.

To get the best results from your Hollywood Spectra laser treatment, follow these guidelines before your appointment:
Avoid sun exposure and tanning (including tanning beds and self-tanners) for at least 2 weeks before treatment.
Discontinue retinoids, AHAs, BHAs, and exfoliating products on the treatment area for 5–7 days prior.
Let your provider know if you’ve recently used Accutane, antibiotics, or have a history of cold sores.
Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin on the day of treatment.
Stay hydrated and avoid alcohol 24 hours before your appointment.
After your laser facial, sun damage, or melasma treatment, proper aftercare ensures the safest recovery and best results:
Expect mild redness, warmth, or slight swelling for a few hours up to 24 hours. This is normal and typically subsides quickly.
Apply gentle, non-active moisturizers like SkinCeuticals Epidermal Repair or a hyaluronic acid serum as directed.
Use broad-spectrum SPF 30+ daily—even indoors—to prevent pigmentation from returning.
Avoid sun exposure, hot water, sweating, and makeup for at least 24 hours post-treatment.
Do not use exfoliants, retinols, or acids for 3–5 days after your session.
No picking, scrubbing, or peeling—let the skin shed naturally if flaking occurs.
Sun Damage & Melasma: Usually requires 4–10 sessions spaced 1–2 weeks apart, depending on severity and skin type. Maintenance treatments every few months are recommended.
Laser Facials (Acne & Carbon Peels): Best results seen with monthly treatments or in a series of 3–6 depending on skin goals.

To prepare your skin for optimal results and minimize sensitivity:
Avoid sun exposure and tanning (including self-tanners) for 5–7 days before treatment.
Discontinue retinols, AHAs/BHAs, benzoyl peroxide, and exfoliants for 3–5 days prior.
Avoid blood thinners like aspirin or ibuprofen for 24 hours before (unless prescribed by a doctor).
No active breakouts, cold sores, or infections in the treatment area.
Come to your appointment with clean, makeup-free skin.
After treatment, your skin will be sensitive and may appear flushed. Proper care helps ensure safe healing and glowing results:
Expect redness, tightness, and mild swelling for up to 24–48 hours (like a light sunburn).
Avoid makeup, workouts, and heat (like saunas or hot showers) for 24–48 hours.
Use a gentle cleanser and hydrating serum (like hyaluronic acid or our PDRN-infused aftercare).
Do not use exfoliants, retinols, acids, or active skincare for 5–7 days after treatment.
Apply broad-spectrum SPF 30+ daily—your skin will be more sun-sensitive.
Do not pick or peel flaking skin—let it shed naturally.
For best results, we recommend a series of 3–6 treatments, spaced 4 weeks apart, depending on your skin goals. You’ll begin to notice smoother, firmer skin with improved texture after just one session—and continued improvement over time.

To ensure a smooth waxing experience and reduce irritation, follow these guidelines before your appointment:
Stop using retinols, acids, and exfoliants on the area to be waxed at least 5–7 days prior to avoid skin lifting or sensitivity.
Hair should be at least the length of a grain of rice (about ¼ inch)—long enough for wax to grip.
Avoid sun exposure and tanning on the area for 48 hours before waxing.
Do not book waxing appointments within 5 days of a chemical peel or laser treatment.
If you're sensitive, taking ibuprofen 30 minutes before your appointment can help reduce discomfort.
Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin if you're receiving facial waxing.
After waxing, your skin may be a bit red or sensitive. Here's how to keep it smooth and irritation-free:
Avoid touching or applying makeup to the waxed area for 12–24 hours to prevent breakouts or clogged pores.
No sun exposure, saunas, hot tubs, or workouts for at least 24 hours after waxing.
Avoid exfoliating the area for 2–3 days post-wax.
Use a gentle, soothing product (like aloe or witch hazel) if needed to calm the skin.
No retinols or acids on the waxed area for at least 5 days after your service.
