Do you have a tattoo that you no longer love? Whether it’s the name of your ex or an image from a regrettable moment in your life, you really wish it could be erased. The great news is that you can. A tattoo removal laser will help to make your dream come true.
What is the safest and most effective tattoo removal procedure?
The Food and Drug Administration notes that laser tattoo removal is the safest option available to the public. It achieves the best results with lower risks of scarring, infection, and other side effects.
What is the PicoSure Pro Laser?
By some accounts it is the revolutionary device for tattoo removal, and that is the tool used by Ruth Swissa. It is a “picosecond laser”, which means it emits rapid pulses of light whose duration is in a pico-second or one trillionth of a second. This tool provides a fast and precise treatment while eliminating potential heat damage to surrounding skin. The high-speed energy release allows for a more efficient procedure, compared to a traditional laser.
How does laser tattoo removal work?
The standard laser light passes through the top skin layer and targets the ink of your tattoo. It breaks up the ink into tiny bits and your circulatory system flushes it away. Different color inks require different lasers. Black responds best, while bright colors take the longest to eradicate. Other types of removal include surgical removal of the skin, dermabrasion that scrubs off the top layer of skin, and ablative lasers that burn away the colored skin. These other options may cause more pain and leave behind more scarring.
How does the PicoSure Pro Laser differ?
The PicoSure Pro Laser has a Focus Lens Array that creates waves of pressure which allows for a better job at skin penetration and ink breakdown. PicoSure Pro operates across the ultraviolet spectrum, which allows it to treat more ink colors and types.
How long does it take to have a tattoo removed?
You will need to visit the tattoo removal office several times. Each time that you undergo the procedure, the tattoo will fade. Your skin must heal for a few weeks after each appointment to prevent scarring and discoloration. As the PicoSure Pro Laser works at a trillionth of a second duration, works faster than older laser devices which means that fewer treatments are required for a more rapid show of results.
Is it painful?
Many clients say that the removal laser causes no more pain than having the tattoo inked in the first place. The PicoSure’s rapid pulsations make the procedure quicker and in return, less painful. Patients have reported less discomfort and pain associated with PicoSure compared to other tattoo removal lasers.
Will laser removal completely erase my tattoo?
With the old laser devices It is rare for a tattoo to vanish from your body entirely. There may be faint lines that stay behind. Your skin may become lighter or darker in the area that underwent laser removal. If you wish to achieve a more flawless appearance, inquire about a micropigmentation tattoo that can help to further minimize the appearance of the old image.
The PicoSure Pro tattoo removal treatment provides minimal downtime. Regular activities can resume immediately following treatment with mild or virtually invisible change to appearance. Few patients have reported mild redness, swelling or even bruising in the treatment area which should subside in a few days.
