LASER TATTOO REMOVAL

Erase. Refresh. Restore — Achieve Clearer, Brighter Skin with Advanced PicoSure Technology.

At Vigour Aesthetics + Wellness, we understand that tattoos are deeply personal—and sometimes, what once felt right no longer reflects who you are today. Whether you want a full removal, lightening for a cover-up, or refinement of an old design, our PicoSure Laser Tattoo Removal treatment provides a safe, powerful, and efficient way to clear unwanted ink.

PicoSure is the leading picosecond laser on the market, using ultra-fast pulses to break apart pigment more effectively and comfortably than traditional lasers. Experience fewer treatments, better results, and a smoother healing process—all with the most advanced tattoo removal technology available.

Clear Your Skin with Confidence

Laser Tattoo Removal with PicoSure is designed to restore your skin’s natural appearance without causing unnecessary damage or downtime. PicoSure’s unique pressure-wave technology demolishes ink particles with rapid energy pulses, allowing your body to flush them away naturally. Unlike older lasers that rely heavily on heat, PicoSure minimizes discomfort and reduces the risk of scarring.

At Vigour Aesthetics + Wellness, every treatment is tailored to your tattoo’s size, depth, color, and age, delivering the most effective and personalized results possible.

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.
