If you are part of the 25% who regret getting a tattoo, you can now have it safely removed in a matter of minutes.
The procedure uses the PicoWay laser to break up the tattoo ink below the surface of the skin. Once shattered, the tattooed pigments can be naturally cleared away. If your tattoo is particularly large or coloured, more than a single session may be needed to remove it completely.
While somewhat uncomfortable, tattoo removal is not painful; most patients will not need anesthesia. Recovery time is minimal and involves no more than soothing the treated area with an ice pack and applying antibiotic cream to protect it from infection.
More About Tattoo Removal
Who is this treatment for?
The PicoWay tattoo removal is extremely safe—more so than other tattoo removal options. Most people who want to get rid of their tattoos are suitable candidates for this treatment. Indeed, it is compatible for all skin types and can target tattoos of different colours, including blue and green.
Clients with underlying health conditions, such as blood clotting or a weakened immune system, should speak with a doctor before undergoing laser tattoo removal.
What are the expected results of this treatment?
The results of the treatment will vary depending on the location of the tattoo, its depth, size, and colour. Small black tattoos can be removed in a single session, whereas a large coloured one will require multiple.
The PicoWay laser emits less heat compared to traditional lasers, providing a much more tolerable experience. Redness and discolouration of the skin post-treatment should resolve on their own over the next few days.
