Laser Type Used
Picosecond Laser (Pico Technology)
Picosecond laser technology represents the latest advancement in tattoo removal, delivering ultra-short pulse durations measured in trillionths of a second for faster and more effective ink elimination than traditional nanosecond lasers. This cutting-edge technology uses photoacoustic energy rather than heat to shatter ink particles into extremely fine fragments, making them easier for the body’s immune system to absorb and eliminate naturally. The picosecond laser’s precision allows it to target tattoo pigments while minimizing thermal damage to surrounding tissue, resulting in fewer treatment sessions, reduced discomfort, and lower risk of scarring or pigmentation changes. The technology is effective on all tattoo ink colors and pigments, including stubborn colors like blues and greens that traditionally resist removal with older laser systems. Treatment typically requires six sessions spaced 2-8 weeks apart, with many patients seeing significant fading and some achieving complete removal with minimal side effects and shorter recovery times compared to conventional Q-switched lasers.
