Laser Type Used

PicoSure Laser

PicoSure is an advanced picosecond laser system that delivers ultra-short pulse durations measured in trillionths of a second (picoseconds), offering faster and more effective tattoo removal than traditional nanosecond lasers. The technology uses photoacoustic energy rather than heat to shatter ink particles into smaller fragments that the body can eliminate more efficiently, resulting in fewer treatment sessions and reduced risk of thermal damage to surrounding skin. PicoSure’s multiple wavelengths (1064nm, 532nm, and 785nm) enable treatment of all ink colors across all skin types, including darker skin tones that may be at higher risk with other laser systems. The system’s high peak power and ultra-short pulse duration create a powerful pressure wave that fragments even stubborn ink colors like blues and greens that traditionally resist treatment. Clinical studies demonstrate PicoSure can achieve significant fading in fewer sessions compared to Q-switched lasers, with many patients seeing dramatic results and some tattoos clearing completely with minimal risk of hypopigmentation or scarring.
