PicoWay Laser Tattoo Removal

The PicoWay® Laser is a cutting-edge system that delivers bursts of energy to the skin over an ultra-short duration.

Unlike other lasers that heat the skin, the energy produced by the PicoWay® Laser breaks down pigment, natural or unnatural, beneath the skin’s surface. In addition, the PicoWay® Laser has the highest peak power and shortest pulse duration by 40% of any other laser in its class.

As a result, you have to undergo fewer laser treatments and obtain faster results.

The PicoWay® procedure is cleared by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for tattoo removal and the treatment of wrinkles, acne scars, and noncancerous dark spots, including freckles and age spots. Furthermore, the PicoWay® Laser is the world’s only system capable of dual wavelengths (532 nm and 1064 nm), which broadens its utility to include a large array of skin types and colors.

Whether it’s unwanted wrinkles and age spots or tattoos, the PicoWay® Laser system utilizes several different handpieces to transform your skin.

To give a fresh start and ensure we have a clear understanding, let's begin at the outset.

When you get a tattoo, an electric tattoo machine is typically used to inject ink into the skin at a high speed. This causes the body's immune system to respond by sending macrophages to capture and remove the ink particles. However, sometimes macrophages consume more ink than they can handle, which causes them to become immobile and form a visible tattoo through the skin.

Through the use of laser technology, the ink particles are fragmented into smaller pieces...

Laser technology is commonly used for tattoo removal, which involves using concentrated light beams to fragment the ink particles in the tattoo. By emitting short bursts of high-intensity light, the laser energy is absorbed by the ink particles, causing them to break down into smaller pieces. These smaller particles can then be eliminated by the body's natural processes or absorbed into the body, resulting in a gradual fading of the tattoo over time.

The ink particles are naturally eliminated by your body's immune system...

Following laser treatment, the fragmented ink particles are gradually absorbed by the body and eliminated through its natural processes. This process is aided by the immune system, which identifies the ink particles as foreign substances and works to remove them.

The broken-down ink particles are transported to the liver by white blood cells, where they are metabolized and then eliminated from the body through urine or feces. It's worth noting that achieving complete tattoo removal often requires several treatments, as the laser can only remove a limited amount of ink during each session. The number of treatments required will depend on factors such as the tattoo's size, location, age, as well as the individual's skin type and overall health.

The removal process is gradual and requires patience...

The duration required to completely remove a tattoo through laser treatments varies greatly and depends on several factors, such as the tattoo's size, location, age, as well as the individual's skin type and overall health.

Typically, smaller tattoos require fewer treatments and are faster to remove than larger tattoos. Additionally, tattoos on areas of the body with thinner skin, such as wrists or ankles, tend to be easier to remove than those on thicker skin areas, such as the back or thighs.

The age of the tattoo is another critical factor to consider. Generally, newer tattoos are easier to remove since the ink particles are larger and closer to the skin's surface. In contrast, older tattoos may require more sessions to remove since the ink particles have had more time to spread and become challenging to target.

Some tattoos may be more difficult to remove than others, and may require more treatments to achieve the desired results. The laser works by breaking down the ink particles in the tattoo, which are then absorbed by the body and naturally removed over time. The laser produces short bursts of intense light that are absorbed by the ink particles, causing them to break down into smaller pieces. As the ink particles are broken down, the tattoo gradually fades and becomes less visible.
