Frequently Asked Questions

• How does Tattoo Removal with Pico Laser work?

  The Pico Laser is a cutting-edge technology for tattoo removal that operates in picoseconds, or one trillionth of a second. The ultra-short pulse duration of the laser breaks up tattoo ink particles into much smaller fragments than traditional lasers. These smaller particles are then more easily cleared by the body’s immune system. The result is a more efficient and effective removal process.

• Does Tattoo Removal with Pico Laser hurt?

  Everyone’s pain tolerance is different. While some people describe the sensation as similar to the snap of a rubber band against the skin, others may find it more uncomfortable. However, the Pico Laser is generally considered to be less painful than older tattoo removal techniques. Topical numbing creams or local anaesthesia can be applied to make the procedure more comfortable.

• Are there any risks with Pico Laser Tattoo Removal?

  As with any medical procedure, there are potential risks. Some of the risks associated with Pico Laser tattoo removal include:

  • Hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation, where the treated area becomes either darker or lighter than the surrounding skin.
  • Scarring, although this is rare especially with the advanced Pico Laser technology.
  • Infection, swelling, or redness.
  • Incomplete tattoo removal or potential changes in the tattoo’s appearance.

  It’s essential to choose an experienced provider and follow aftercare instructions to minimize these risks.

• Is there any downtime after Pico Laser Tattoo Removal?

  Generally, there’s no extensive downtime associated with Pico Laser tattoo removal. However, the treated area may feel similar to a sunburn for a few hours after the procedure. Some swelling, redness, and blistering can occur but usually resolve within a week. It’s crucial to avoid sun exposure and strenuous activities for a few days after treatment to aid recovery.

• What about after Tattoo Removal treatment with Pico Laser?

  After the procedure:

  • Keep the area clean and dry.
  • Apply antibiotic ointment as recommended by your provider.
  • Avoid sun exposure and use sunscreen on the treated area.
  • Avoid picking or scratching the treated area.
  • Expect multiple sessions. The number of sessions depends on the tattoo’s size, colour, location, and age.

• What colours can be treated with Pico Laser Tattoo Removal?

  The Pico Laser can effectively treat a broader range of tattoo colours compared to traditional lasers. It’s particularly effective on blues, greens, and blacks, which can be challenging for other tattoo removal methods. However, certain colours like light blues and greens might still be more stubborn. The specific wavelengths used by the laser determine its efficacy on different colours.

• What size tattoos can be treated with Pico Laser?

  Pico Lasers can treat tattoos of various sizes, from small symbols to large, extensive artwork. The number of sessions required largely depends on the tattoo’s size. Larger tattoos might take more sessions to break down all the ink particles effectively. However, regardless of size, the Pico Laser provides a more efficient removal process than older methods.
