Jamsil Tattoo Removal Dermatology Clinic: Post-Tattoo Treatment Care After Pico Laser

Tattoo Removal Aftercare

Hello, this is Jamsil On Dermatology Clinic in Jamsil!

Tattoos can hold a past preference or memory, but over time, many people consider removal due to career reasons or changes in taste. However, tattoos do not remain only on the skin surface; pigment particles settle deep in the dermis, so they are not easy to remove. That is why the removal process is more complicated than expected, and the results can vary depending on the condition of the skin. The key is not simply removing the pigment, but selectively removing it while minimizing scars and side effects.

Why Tattoo Removal Is Difficult

The reason tattoo removal is difficult is because of the “bubble” formed when the laser is applied. Tattoo pigment is distributed in the dermis, and when the laser reaches it, the pigment particles break down instantly and microscopic bubbles are formed. These bubbles interfere with the path of the laser on subsequent passes, which reduces the laser’s effectiveness during repeated treatments.

If additional treatment is performed aggressively while the bubbles have not yet been cleared, heat can build up in the skin and cause inflammation, blisters, or pigmentation. In severe cases, scars may remain! That is why tattoo removal is not simply about increasing the laser intensity; the important approach is to gradually remove the pigment while minimizing bubbles.

Jamsil On FracZero Technique

At Jamsil On Dermatology Clinic, we use the “FracZero Technique” to address these issues! This is a tattoo removal method that combines pico MLA and the R0 approach, and it is designed to remove pigment more efficiently while minimizing skin damage.

Pico MLA creates tiny channels that open pathways for the pigment to come out. This reduces bubbles during treatment and helps pigment discharge more smoothly. When the R0 method is added, the PFD solution removes bubbles remaining in the skin tissue, increasing the light transmission rate during the next laser pass. As a result, more pigment can be removed in a single treatment while irritation is reduced!

<What is the FracZero Technique?>

• Pico MLA: reduces bubbles by creating microscopic channels

• R0 Technique: applies PFD solution to remove bubbles

• A method that combines both techniques to maximize laser effectiveness

PicoPlus Laser

The key device, PicoPlus, is a picosecond laser commonly used for tattoo removal. It delivers strong energy in an extremely short amount of time, precisely destroying only the pigment particles, so there is almost no damage to surrounding tissue. Thanks to these characteristics, the risk of scarring or inflammation is low, and recovery is relatively quick.

In addition, PicoPlus finely breaks pigment particles into smaller pieces, helping the body’s immune cells naturally absorb and eliminate them. In other words, it gradually fades tattoo pigment without strong stimulation. Another advantage is that it can be applied relatively safely even to people with fair or sensitive skin!

<PicoPlus Laser>

• A picosecond laser that finely removes pigment

• Effective even for tattoos in various colors

• Safe enough to be applied to sensitive skin

How to Care for the Skin After Tattoo Removal

After tattoo removal, skin recovery is just as important as the treatment itself. Right after the laser procedure, some warmth may remain, so it is recommended to apply a cold compress for about 10 to 15 minutes. After that, you should continue applying a regenerative cream or antibiotic ointment to help prevent inflammation. If the skin becomes dry, recovery may be delayed, so keeping it moisturized is essential.

If blisters develop, do not pop them yourself or irritate the area; you should receive sterile dressing at the clinic to help prevent scarring. Also, for about one week, avoid saunas, swimming, and intense exercise. Smoking and drinking interfere with blood circulation and delay recovery, so it is best to refrain from them. It is also important to apply sunscreen consistently to prevent pigmentation. These care steps all help make the treatment results smoother :)

What If It Itches?

A few days after the procedure, mild itching may occur. This is a natural reaction that happens as the skin recovers and new skin forms! It usually disappears within a few days, but scratching with your hands can lead to scarring or pigmentation.

If redness, swelling, or oozing accompanies it, it may be more than simple irritation and could be an allergic reaction. In that case, you should visit a dermatology clinic right away for an examination. Tattoo removal treatment is important, but aftercare determines the overall outcome. Following the post-treatment precautions well and checking the progress through regular visits with a specialist is the safest approach.
