ERASE YOUR INK GOODBYE
The PicoLazer sends ultra-short pulses of energy – without heat –to shatter the melanin of pigmented lesions and tattoo ink into smaller particles. These particles are then eliminated naturally by the body’s lymphatic system. This laser-tissue interaction is namely a photo-acoustic not photo-thermal making it safe to remove tattoos.
The Picolazer also offers tattoo removal and is considered the fastest tattoo removal laser.
The number of laser treatments needed for tattoo removal is dependent on a number of variables such as ink type, size of the tattoo, location on the body, type of laser used, lifestyle habits, etc. During your consultation, a practitioner will evaluate your tattoo and recommend a realistic treatment regime to help you achieve the best results.
While it typically takes 4-8 weeks for the body to absorb the ink particles, every patient and tattoo responds differently. Following the recommended post-treatment protocol will likely improve the results and reduce the chance of small adverse events.
The ideal clinical endpoint for the tattoo treatment is an immediate slight whitening or “frosting” of the skin, however, that will subside immediately after the treatment is complete. Other observable effects include mild swelling and redness. Your practitioner will direct you on how best to keep the area moist.
