What Is PicoSure Laser Tattoo Removal?
PicoSure Laser Tattoo Removal is a non-invasive treatment that uses picosecond (trillionth-of-a-second) laser pulses to shatter tattoo ink into tiny particles that the body can naturally eliminate. The laser energy targets ink without damaging surrounding skin, making it safer and more effective than older nanosecond lasers.
With each session, the tattoo lightens as your lymphatic system flushes away broken-down pigment. Because PicoSure’s pulses are so fast, the treatment requires less heat, resulting in fewer side effects and a more comfortable experience overall.
Most clients notice significant fading within a few sessions—often achieving complete removal in fewer treatments than traditional laser systems.
What Sets PicoSure Apart?
PicoSure is widely recognized as the most advanced tattoo removal laser available. Here’s what makes it exceptional:
- Ultra-Fast Picosecond Pulses. Shatters ink into dust-like particles for faster clearance.
- Better for Stubborn Colors. Removes difficult pigments like blues, greens, and purples more effectively than any other laser.
- Reduced Heat = Less Discomfort. The pressure-wave mechanism minimizes thermal damage and speeds healing.
- Fewer Sessions Required. Clients often see optimal results in fewer treatments compared to traditional lasers.
- Lower Risk of Scarring. Advanced targeting protects the skin and reduces unwanted side effects.
Whether you’re removing a new tattoo, an old faded design, or multiple ink layers, PicoSure delivers superior performance with gentle precision.
