Tattoo Removal with PicoSure Pro

Tattoos are permanent—or so we thought. Nowadays, people can undergo laser treatments to eliminate unwanted tattoos. But one certainty remains: they are difficult to remove. With the changing preferences of many individuals, there has been a significant increase in the demand for tattoo removal services. Fortunately, advanced technology has improved the effectiveness and comfort of tattoo removal procedures. One of the most popular tattoo removal treatments is PicoSure Pro, an advanced laser treatment designed to deliver faster results while minimizing skin damage.

Why is PicoSure Pro Tattoo Removal Popular?

PicoSure Pro addresses the most common problems linked to tattoo removal—it’s quicker and less painful. It uses rapid pulses of energy to break down ink particles, making it easier for the body to eliminate them naturally. Unlike older lasers, PicoSure Pro reduces scarring and skin discoloration. 

With PicoSure Pro, you can also:

Customize Treatments with Variable Spot Sizes

PicoSure Pro allows practitioners to adjust the laser’s spot size based on the specific needs of each tattoo and the individual’s skin type. Tailored treatments improve precision and minimize treatment time, improving outcomes and a more comfortable patient experience.

Use Turbo Mode for Improved Treatment of Stubborn Tattoos

PicoSure Pro features a turbo mode that enhances the laser’s effectiveness when dealing with particularly stubborn tattoos. This mode shortens the pulse width, applying more energy to break down resistant ink particles. As a result, you can achieve desired results in fewer sessions.

Benefits of PicoSure Pro Tattoo Removal

Here are some key benefits of choosing PicoSure Pro for your tattoo removal needs:

Reduced Discomfort

While some discomfort is expected during tattoo removal sessions, PicoSure Pro helps minimize discomfort. The rapid pulse technology reduces heat exposure, making the experience more tolerable than other methods.

Reduces Scarring 

PicoSure Pro precisely targets ink particles while minimizing heat damage, promoting a safer healing process. After the treatment, patients can expect better skin integrity with little to no risks of scarring or discolouration.

Speed and Efficiency

Unlike traditional laser methods, PicoSure Pro requires fewer sessions to achieve noticeable results. A faster healing process also helps clients save time and money in the long run.

Effectively Removes Coloured Inks

PicoSure Pro can remove ink colours that pose challenges for other lasers. Its wavelength effectively targets stubborn shades like blues and greens, often resistant to traditional methods. This capability makes PicoSure Pro a versatile option for anyone looking to remove a wide range of tattoo colours, ensuring a more comprehensive and effective removal process.

Tattoo Removal with PicoSure Pro

PicoSure Pro uses a specific wavelength of light that targets and absorbs tattoo ink particles. At the start of the treatment, a technician will apply a numbing cream to the target area. After about 20 minutes, you’ll be ready for a simple laser session.

The duration of tattoo removal varies based on size, design complexity, and colour. Generally, patients may need four to five sessions spaced six to eight weeks apart. Smaller tattoos often show noticeable improvement after one session. In contrast, detailed tattoos may require up to ten sessions for optimal results. 

What to Expect After Your PicoSure Pro Tattoo Removal 

It’s normal to experience some temporary side effects after a PicoSure Pro tattoo removal session. Patients often report mild redness, swelling, or a sensation similar to a sunburn in the treated area. These symptoms typically subside within a few hours to a couple of days. 

A cold compress can help alleviate discomfort, and over-the-counter pain relievers may help. However, it’s important to avoid aspirin, as it can increase the risk of bleeding.

Typically, the body takes 4-8 weeks to process and absorb the ink particles after each session. However, individual responses can vary. Adhering to the recommended post-treatment care can enhance results and minimize potential side effects.

PicoSure Pro Tattoo Removal Aftercare

Proper aftercare is essential for optimal healing and achieving the best results. Patients should keep the treated area clean and dry for the first 24 hours and avoid activities that may irritate the skin, such as hot baths or swimming. 

Moisturizing the area with a gentle, fragrance-free ointment can promote healing and prevent dryness. It’s also essential to protect the skin from sun exposure by using sunscreen or covering it with clothing, as UV rays can hinder recovery and cause pigmentation changes. 

Is PicoSure Pro Safe for All Skin Types?

Yes, PicoSure Pro is safe for all skin types. It is also safe for individuals with higher melanin levels, as it doesn’t cause hyperpigmentation or other adverse effects.

While PicoSure Pro is generally safe for all skin types, it’s best to consult a qualified practitioner before treatment. A professional can assess skin characteristics and determine the most appropriate treatment plan.

How Many PicoSure Pro Treatments Do I Need?

The number of treatments depends on the ink type, location, size, and patient’s lifestyle. During your initial consultation, a practitioner will create a treatment plan to achieve the best results. 

How Much Does PicoSure Pro Tattoo Removal Cost?

The PicoSure Pro tattoo removal cost depends on size, location, and the number of sessions. At Beauty Med, one session starts at $99. It’s also worth noting that tattoo removal is an elective cosmetic procedure not covered by insurance. 

How Long Does it Take to See Visible Results on PicoSure Tattoo Removal?

Patients often notice their tattoos fading after the first session, typically within a few days, as the body begins to eliminate the broken-down ink particles. However, the best results usually develop over several weeks as healing continues. 

Most individuals require multiple sessions to achieve visible results. Consistent treatment and proper aftercare are essential for the best long-term outcomes.
