Laser Tattoo Removal

How Does Laser Tattoo Removal Work?

The laser emits concentrated pulses of light energy that target the tattoo’s pigment. Pico laser technology (like the Picosure laser) uses ultra-short, trillionth-of-a-second pulses to shatter ink into tiny fragments, which your body’s immune system naturally flushes away over time. Unlike older methods, Picosure laser tattoo removal is exceptionally effective on stubborn colors and minimizes damage to surrounding skin.

Benefits of Laser Tattoo Removal

  • Safe Tattoo Removal – Advanced lasers like Picoway and Picosure target only the ink, minimizing damage to surrounding skin. Unlike harsh chemical treatments, laser removal reduces scarring and infection risks.
  • Nearly Painless Process – With modern cooling technology and adjustable settings, treatments are far more comfortable than traditional methods. Many patients compare the sensation to a light rubber band snap.
  • Effective on All Skin Tones – Unlike older lasers, Pico technology safely removes tattoos on dark skin without causing discoloration or burns, making it a reliable option for all skin types.
  • Affordable & Customizable – While cost varies by size and ink density, laser removal is more cost-effective than surgical options. Many clinics offer payment plans to make the process budget-friendly.
  • Faster, Better Results with Picoway – The Picoway laser delivers ultra-fast pulses, breaking down ink more efficiently than older lasers. This means fewer sessions and quicker fading, even for stubborn colors like blues and greens.

What to Expect During Treatment?

  • A specialist will assess your tattoo (size, colors, age) and skin type to customize your treatment plan.

  • They’ll explain how many sessions you may need (typically 6–12, spaced 6–8 weeks apart).

  • You’ll discuss any medical concerns, aftercare, and realistic expectations for fading.

  • Avoid sun exposure, tanning, and certain skincare products (like retinoids) for 2 weeks prior.

  • Shave the area if needed and arrive with clean, makeup-free skin.

  • A numbing cream may be applied to minimize discomfort (though many modern lasers are surprisingly tolerable).

  • You’ll wear protective goggles while the technician uses a handheld laser device over your tattoo.

  • The laser emits quick pulses—many describe the sensation as warm pinpricks or a rubber band snap.

  • Small tattoos take just minutes, while larger ones may require 20–30 minutes per session.

  • Afterward, the area may appear red or slightly swollen (like a mild sunburn).

  • Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling and keep the area clean.

  • Use a healing ointment (like Aquaphor) and avoid picking scabs.

  • Avoid direct sunlight and wear SPF 30+ to prevent hyperpigmentation.

  • Most people heal fully within 1–2 weeks before their next session.

Pro Tip: Results improve gradually—your body naturally flushes away ink particles over time. Staying consistent with sessions and aftercare ensures the best outcome!

FAQ

about Laser Treatment for Pigmentation & Melasma

Does laser tattoo removal hurt?

Most patients describe the sensation as similar to a rubber band snapping against the skin. Modern lasers incorporate cooling technology to minimize discomfort, and we can apply a topical numbing cream if needed.

Yes! Advanced Pico lasers (like Picosure and Picoway) are specifically designed to safely treat all skin tones without causing discoloration or scarring.

Absolutely! While black ink responds fastest, our advanced lasers can effectively treat:

  • Blues and greens (Picoway laser works best)

  • Reds and yellows (may require extra sessions)

  • Even difficult white inks

Most tattoos fade 90-95% with proper treatment. Some may leave slight ghosting, but this is usually only noticeable if you’re looking for it.
