Why Drinking Water is a Game-Changer During Laser Tattoo Removal
If you’re going through laser tattoo removal (or thinking about it), there’s one simple thing you can do to help speed up the process and get better results: drink more water.
Yep, water. The cheap, powerful little detox tool you’ve had access to all along. At Rethink Laser Tattoo Removal on the Gold Coast, we’re all about helping your body help itself — and hydration is a huge part of that.
So why is drinking water such a big deal during laser tattoo removal? Let’s break it down.
💧 Water Helps Your Body Flush Out Ink
When we zap that tattoo with our laser, we’re breaking the ink particles down into teeny-tiny bits. Your lymphatic system — basically your body’s built-in waste removal crew — then steps in to flush those particles out.
And guess what the lymphatic system needs to work properly? You got it — water.
If you’re dehydrated, your body’s ability to process and remove the ink slows right down. You might still see fading, but it won’t be as fast or as effective as it could be.
💧 Speeds Up Healing Between Sessions
Hydrated skin heals better. After each laser tattoo removal session, your body needs time to recover. Drinking plenty of water helps to keep your skin in top condition, reduces inflammation, and can even lessen that post-treatment itchiness or dryness some people get.
Better skin = better results = fewer sessions needed = less money spent. Win-win.
💧 Boosts Your Immune System
Laser tattoo removal relies on your immune system to do the heavy lifting once the laser has done its job. Drinking water helps your immune system stay strong and efficient, so your body can break down and eliminate the ink faster.
Think of it like this: we handle the laser side, and your body takes care of the clean-up. Staying hydrated means your “clean-up crew” is fully staffed and ready to roll.
So, How Much Water Should You Drink?
There’s no magic number, but a good rule of thumb is at least 2 litres a day — more if you’re working out, it’s hot outside, or you’re sweating a lot. Drink water consistently before and after each laser session, not just the day of.
