Introduction to Saniderm
Saniderm is a revolutionary tattoo bandage designed to protect and heal fresh tattoos with ease and efficiency. Trusted by professional tattoo artists worldwide, Saniderm products act as a second skin, shielding your new tattoo from bacteria, dirt, and friction while allowing your body’s natural healing process to work its magic.
Whether you’re getting your first tattoo or adding to your collection, Saniderm makes the tattoo healing process smoother, cleaner, and more comfortable, ensuring your ink stays vibrant and your skin heals beautifully.
Features and Benefits of Saniderm
Saniderm tattoo bandages are engineered with advanced technology to support optimal tattoo healing. The bandage is thin, flexible, and completely transparent, allowing you to monitor your tattoo as it heals.
Its waterproof yet breathable design keeps out bacteria and contaminants while letting oxygen in, which is essential for proper healing. Saniderm bandages help prevent scabbing, reduce the risk of infection, and minimise irritation and itching. By locking in the body’s natural healing enzymes and moisture, Saniderm promotes faster healing and helps preserve the quality of your tattoo’s colours and lines. The adhesive is gentle on the skin, making it suitable for sensitive areas and large tattoos alike.
How Saniderm Works
Saniderm works by creating a protective barrier over your fresh tattoo, acting as a second skin that supports the body’s natural healing process. Unlike traditional wraps like saran wrap, Saniderm is designed to be worn for several days, allowing the tattoo to heal in a moist, sterile environment.
This environment helps prevent scabbing and excessive dryness, which can lead to scarring or loss of ink. The bandage is permeable to oxygen but blocks out water, bacteria, and other irritants, reducing the risk of infection. As your tattoo heals, Saniderm absorbs excess fluid and plasma, keeping the area clean and promoting the growth of new skin cells for a smoother, more vibrant healed tattoo.
Applying Saniderm to a Fresh Tattoo
Applying Saniderm to a new tattoo is simple, but following the right steps ensures the best healing experience. Start by washing your hands and gently cleaning the tattooed area with a mild, fragrance-free soap. Pat the skin dry with a clean towel. Cut a piece of Saniderm bandage large enough to cover the tattoo with at least a one-inch margin around the edges.
Carefully peel off the backing and apply the adhesive side to your skin, smoothing out any air bubbles for a secure fit. Avoid stretching the bandage, as this can cause irritation. Saniderm should be worn for the recommended period, usually 24 to 48 hours for the first application, then replaced with a fresh bandage if needed.
When it’s time to remove Saniderm, do so slowly and gently, ideally in the shower, to minimise discomfort and avoid pulling at the skin.
Saniderm and Hair Growth
Hair growth under a Saniderm bandage is a common concern, especially for tattoos placed on areas with more body hair. While Saniderm’s adhesive is designed to be gentle, applying the bandage over hair can sometimes make removal a bit more uncomfortable.
To minimize this, some people choose to shave the area before getting tattooed, but this isn’t always necessary. If you do experience hair growth under the bandage, removing Saniderm slowly and under warm water can help loosen the adhesive and reduce any pulling sensation. Hair growth does not interfere with the healing process, and Saniderm’s flexible design allows it to move with your body, ensuring comfort throughout the tattoo healing process.
If you have sensitive skin or are prone to irritation, consult your tattoo artist for personalised aftercare advice.
