The Best Way To Say Goodbye To Unwanted Tattoos

PRECISELY AND SAFELY

Pico’s unique photomechanical effect is exceptional at removing even highly pigmented inks deep in the skin, precisely and safely.

The number of treatment sessions that are required to clear your body art depends on several factors, such as the size and age of the tattoo, as well as the quality and color of the inks. Since the short pulses shatter the ink, the pigment is naturally removed by your body’s immune system. Generally, black and gray inks are easiest to treat. Blue, green, and purple can be more challenging for Pico Laser Treatments. Additionally, colorful inks are harder to remove on darker skin (due to the risk of hypopigmentation). We also use the PFD patch to protect the skin. So, we can do multiple passes and shatter more ink in a single session.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many laser treatments are typically needed for complete tattoo removal?

The number of treatments varies depending on factors like tattoo size, color, and location. Most tattoos require 6-10 sessions, but some may need up to 20 treatments for optimal results.

What types of lasers are most effective for tattoo removal?

Picosecond lasers are a cutting-edge technology in tattoo removal, offering faster and more effective results. Their ultra-short pulse duration allows for better pigment fragmentation, making it easier for the body to remove tattoo ink. This results in quicker clearance and improved efficacy, especially for colors like greens and blues that were challenging to treat with older technologies. Additionally, picosecond lasers may reduce the risk of side effects by minimizing thermal damage to surrounding tissue.

Does the color of the tattoo affect the removal process?

Yes, tattoo color significantly impacts removal. Darker colors like black and blue are generally easier to remove, while lighter colors like yellow and green may be more challenging and require different laser wavelengths for effective treatment.

How long does it take to see results from laser tattoo removal?

Initial results can be seen within a few days after treatment, but optimal results typically appear after 1 to 2 months as the skin continues to regenerate. Significant fading is often visible after 2-4 treatments.

Are there any factors that can affect the success of laser tattoo removal?

Several factors influence removal success, including the tattoos age, depth, and location on the body. Newer tattoos with deeply located pigment on distal sites are generally harder to remove due to reduced lymphatic distribution. Results may vary depending on the health of a patient.

Introducing The Pico Laser At EsthetixMD

Before And After Care

Treatments generally take around 15 to 20 minutes. For Pico Laser Treatments Bend patients seeking optimal treatment outcomes, without the risk, we recommend:

  • Avoidance of sun exposure and tanning for two to four weeks prior to Pico Laser Treatments
  • Skin in the treatment area to be clean; free of makeup, sunscreen, and lotion
  • Discontinue use of photosensitizing medications for at least six months prior to treatment

Skin may be pink for one or two days after treatment. When the ink is gone, it’s gone for good. Due to Pico’s unique properties, the risks associated with earlier-generation tattoo removal are minimized; for instance, it is an appropriate option for skin types that are vulnerable to hypopigmentation following treatment with older lasers. Your Bend Pico Laser Treatment technology is so effective at breaking apart inks, that average-sized tattoos may be treated in minutes, more quickly and with fewer treatment sessions than ever before.
