Safely Remove Unwanted Tattoos from the Skin with Picosure Laser Pro.
PicoSure Pro offers removal for various reasons, such as regretting a past decision, wanting to make room for new artwork, or simply no longer resonating with the tattoo's message or design.
Our qualified laser technicians use medical-grade Picosure Pro laser to remove tattoo ink. The laser emits rapid pulses that target the ink while preserving the surrounding skin.
How it Works
PicoSure Pro is the latest advancement in laser technology for tattoo removal, offering a faster, more effective solution with minimal discomfort.
This system uses ultra-short pulse durations (picoseconds), delivering precise bursts of energy that break down tattoo ink particles without causing significant damage to surrounding skin. PicoSure Pro allows for the removal of tattoos across a wide range of colours, including stubborn shades like blue, green, and red, which have traditionally been harder to treat.
These pulses cause the ink particles to shatter into tiny fragments, which are then naturally eliminated by the body’s lymphatic system. Unlike traditional lasers, which rely on heat to break down the ink, PicoSure Pro uses PressureWave technology to effectively target ink at the cellular level, resulting in a faster clearance of the tattoo with fewer treatments.
What to Expect
Before undergoing a laser treatment it's essential to consult to determine the best treatment plan for your skin type and concerns.
You'll wear protective eyewear to shield your eyes from the laser light during the treatment. The treatment duration and experience depend on the type of laser and the extent of the area being treated.
The treatment follows a structured protocol to ensure safety and effectiveness. An Initial Consultation is required to assess skin type, identify specific areas of concern and discuss treatment benefits.
Post-Treatment Care soothing serum is applied with aftercare instructions and follow-up treatments for optimal results.
It's generally recommended to undergo 8 to 10 sessions spaced 6 to 12 weeks apart for optimal results. The number of sessions required can vary based on the tattoo's size, ink depth, and colour.
A PicoSure Pro session typically lasts between 10 and 30 minutes, depending on the size and complexity of the tattoo. During the procedure, a handheld laser device is applied to the tattooed area. Discomfort is generally minimal and can be managed with numbing creams if necessary. After the treatment, patients may experience mild redness or swelling, similar to a mild sunburn, which subsides within a few days.
With its advanced technology and reduced recovery times, PicoSure Pro is an ideal choice for those seeking a safe, efficient, and thorough tattoo removal process.
