A Bit About Laser Tattoo Removal

Laser tattoo removal is a popular method for removing unwanted tattoo. Its considered one of the most effective and efficient ways to get rid of tattoo, especially compared to older methods like dermabrasion, topicals, or surgical excision.

Here’s how it works:

Principle: Laser tattoo removal works by using a high-intensity laser to break down the pigments in the tattoo. The laser penetrates the skin without damaging the surrounding tissues. 

Types of Lasers:

There are different types of lasers used for tattoo removal, with different protocols and different wavelengths for targeting specific colors. For example, Q-switched lasers are commonly used for this purpose. 

The most notable difference between the technologies of PicoWay Laser for Tattoo Removal and a Q-switched laser, is the timeline. 

With Q-switched lasers, it would take approximately 12 to 15 painful sessions to have a tattoo removed. 

With PicoWay’s advanced capabilities, the same tattoo would only take about 5 to 7 (drastically more comfortable) sessions. 

Considering the required weeks in between each session to allow the skin to heal, additional treatment sessions increase total overall treatment time period significantly with the Q-switched laser. 

By choosing the PicoWay to remove your tattoo, you can have ink-free skin up to a year EARLIER than you would with a Q-switched laser.

Number of Sessions:

The number of sessions you’ll need depends on multiple factors such as the size, color, type of inks, and age of your tattoo. Multiple sessions are usually required, spaced several weeks apart.

How does it feel?

Patients often describe the sensation as similar to being snapped with a rubber band. For people with lower pain tolerances, we offer a variety of options to make the treatment more comfortable. 

Aftercare:

After each session, it’s important to keep the area clean and apply any recommended ointments or creams. Avoiding sun exposure and following other post-treatment instructions is crucial for successful healing.

Potential Risks:

While laser tattoo removal is generally safe, there can be some risks, including temporary discomfort, redness, swelling, and potential for scarring. Darker skin tones may also be more prone to pigmentation changes. Remember, while laser tattoo removal is effective, complete removal isn’t always guaranteed, and some tattoos may leave behind a faint shadow.
