Why Choose Pico Laser Tattoo Removal?

While tattoos offer an excellent way to express your individuality, remember important moments, or show a little artistic expression on your skin, your desire for one might change over time. Whether for personal, professional, or other reasons, you might decide that you no longer want a certain tattoo on your person any longer.

Tattoo removal has grown in popularity right alongside the tattoo industry. While there is a range of tattoo removal techniques available, PicoSure Laser Tattoo Removal stands out as one of the best options. Here, we’re going to look at this advanced and effective technology and why you might want to choose it when it’s time to get a tattoo removed.

Understanding The PicoSure Laser Tattoo Removal Process

Pico Laser technology is a revolution in laser tattoo removal, offering faster and more efficient results than the methods used traditionally. It uses ultra-short pulses of laser energy measured in picoseconds (that’s a trillionth of a second) instead of sustained exposure to heat like traditional methods. These rapid-fire pulses cause the tattoo ink under the skin to shatter into smaller particles, which are then naturally eliminated by the body’s lymphatic system.

How the PicoSure Laser Works

• Delivery of Ultra-Short Pulses: The laser sends rapid pulses of light, penetrating the skin and targeting the tattoo ink.
• Fragmentation of Ink: The energy causes the ink to shatter into microscopic particles, minimising damage to the surrounding tissue.
• Natural Elimination: The body’s own immune system then begins to flush out the fragmented ink, causing it to trade over time.
• Multiple Sessions For Optimal Results: Depending on the colour, size, and depth of the tattoo, multiple sessions may be required to fully remove the tattoo.

When compared to traditional laser tattoo removal, PicoSure Laser technology stands out as being faster, more effective, and much less uncomfortable.

Why Consider PicoSure Laser Tattoo Removal

Faster Results With Fewer Sessions

All tattoo removal options, outside of invasive surgical excision, are going to require multiple treatment sessions. However, PicoSure Laser technology is much faster and more efficient than the other methods. Traditional options like Q-switched lasers, often require 10 to 20 sessions to fade a tattoo. Meanwhile, Pico Laser can reduce this number, halving it to 4 to 8 sessions depending on the tattoo.

Effective On All Ink Colours

Traditional tattoo removal procedures have a famously difficult time with certain ink colours, especially purples, greens, and blues. However, PicoSure Laser technology is much more easily able to remove these stubborn pigments. The laser wavelengths used in the treatment target the full spectrum of ink colours, making it a great choice for those with highly colourful tattoos.

Less Pain and Discomfort

A lot of people find themselves nervous about tattoo removal treatments due to the pain that might come with it. Traditional laser tattoo removal does cause some discomfort, due to the fact it uses sustained heat to break down ink particles. However, PicoSure Laser technology doesn’t use so much heat, with ultra-short pulses, which most patients describe as feeling like someone snapping a rubber band against their skin. It also reduces the likelihood of burns, and excessive skin irritation. All the same, many specialists offer the use of cooling devices or numbing creams to make sure that you feel comfortable and confident during treatments.

Reduced Risk of Skin Damage and Scarring

One of the major concerns regarding older tattoo removal techniques, like dermabrasion and traditional lasers, is the potential for permanent scarring or changes to the skin’s colour, like hyperpigmentation. PicoSure laser treatment offers a precise targeting mechanism that avoids affecting the skin tissue surrounding the tattoo too much. As such, patients have a much lower risk of scarring, hypo-pigmentation and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. This makes it a safer option for all skin types.

Suitable For All Skin Types

If you have a darker skin tone, then you might find many traditional laser treatments aren’t as effective and come with a higher risk of pigmentation changes. PicoSure Laser technology is much safer and more effective for all skin types due to its minimised heat damage and direct ink particle targeting. What’s more, specialists offer targeted plans to ensure that, no matter your skin type, you are treated as safely and effectively as possible.

Shorter Recovery Time

With PicoSure Laser treatments, your recovery time is much shorter than when compared to older methods. Patients can experience mild redness and swelling that can last from a few hours to a few days, but you can get back to normal daily activities almost immediately. There’s no need for extended downtime, making it a better option for those with a busy lifestyle.
