Just like with tattooing, ensuring optimal healing after a Tatt2Away session requires impressing upon the client the importance of following the specific aftercare procedure. Given the similarities to tattooing, Tatt2Away shares some of the same risks to the skin. This includes the critical importance of avoiding contaminants and infection risks, as well as protecting the skin from direct sunlight during the healing process.
Clients with skin prone to keloiding should be aware that there is a possibility of keloid scar development. Strict adherence to aftercare procedures is essential to minimise these risks. Tatt2Away technicians are trained to identify potential complications, including non-compliance with aftercare, and may refuse treatment or refer a client to a dermatologist if necessary.
Tatt2Away is effective on all skin tones. However, skin that is very light or very dark may be more sensitive to treatments and might take longer for pigment to return to normal after treatment. Unlike laser removal, Tatt2Away does not adversely affect darker skin tones. More importantly, the client’s overall health and skin condition, as well as their ability to follow aftercare directions, play a crucial role in achieving optimal results. Lack of compliance with aftercare may compromise outcomes, regardless of skin tone or sensitivity.
During the initial consultation, you may suggest a limited test treatment of one or more tegulae (dots) to assess how the client’s skin reacts. The cost of a test treatment is determined by individual studios and is generally not included in a free consultation, as a sterile treatment kit will need to be used even for a small test.
