Pico Laser Tattoo Removal

Pico Laser Tattoo Removal

What is a pico laser?

Pico Laser is a short-pulse rate laser that that treats not only tattoos and permanent makeup, but also acne scars, wrinkles, benign pigmented lesions and dark spots.

Our pico laser works by heating the tattoo ink particles under the surface of the skin thereby splitting them into smaller ink particles that can then be cleared by the lymphatic system.

The extremely short pulse rate of this advanced technology breaks the ink apart with less damage to the surrounding skin.

The energy from this laser also promotes collagen and elastin production in the body, leading to the growth of healthy skin in the treated areas.

Faster Results

The rapid pulse rate of our PICO laser means that it can shatter ink particles more efficiently than older laser technologies. This often results in fewer treatment sessions required to achieve complete removal.

Effective on all Colors

Traditional lasers often struggle with certain ink colors, particularly greens and blues. Our laser, however, can effectively break down ink particles of all colors, making it ideal for removing a wide range of tattoos and permanent makeup. The wavelengths we use are 532nm, 595nm, 660nm and 1064nm. 

FAQ's

How Many Sessions Does It Take to remove my tattoo?

Depending on where you have the tattoo, the amount of ink used, age of the tattoo, etc… determines how many sessions it could take to remove that tattoo. We can give you an estimate on how many sessions based on the type of tattoo you have but it’s a “guesstimate.” Typical treatments take 6 to 10 sessions.

Will my tattoo be completely removed?

After the recommended number of treatments, your tattoo should be 95%-100% faded and removed. But remember – there is no specific number of treatments for any tattoo and how long it will take to clear it.

Does it hurt?

Our laser is designed for maximum comfort during treatment. Pain during treatment is very tolerable. Most patients describe the feeling as similar to a rubber band snapping the skin with a slight but bearable sensation following.

Can you remove brand new tattoos?

Unfortunately no. The new tattoo must be at least 7 weeks old. Even though we do prefer at least 3 months minimum to see optimal results from the laser tattoo removal process.

Can you lighten my old tattoo for a coverup tattoo?

Yes! To cover up an old tattoo, most tattoo artists request you lighten it first. This is so the colors from the new tattoo do not blend in with the old one and you get the best results with your cover tattoo. Your old tattoo can be lightened with just a few sessions.

Can you remove cosmetic tattoos?

Yes! Cosmetic tattoos are very easy to remove compared to professional ones. These types of tattoos can be removed fairly quickly and effectively.

Can I get a tattoo removed if I am pregnant?

Although there are no reported issues of getting a tattoo removed and being pregnant, we do not advise anyone to do so without their physician releasing them to do so. Please consult with your physician before starting the laser process.
