Tattoo Removal and PicoSure Laser Treatments

Considering saying goodbye to a tattoo? Whether it’s a change in personal taste, lifestyle, or a need to erase a past decision, tattoo removal provides a solution to eliminate unwanted ink. 

With advancements in laser technology, removing tattoos is now quicker and more effective than ever before. Laser tattoo removal offers a safe and effective way to remove unwanted ink and regain clear skin. Using the latest technology for quick, effective fading and removal of ink with a quicker recovery time than other tattoo removal services. 

PicoSure is the latest advancement in laser technology for safe and effective tattoo removal. Remove tattoos faster with greater efficacy than ever before with the first and only picosecond laser! 

Using three different wavelengths to target ink colours with one device gives you one of the fastest tattoo removal techniques delivering a safe and quick procedure and results. PicoSure operates at a 755 nm wavelength, which is particularly effective for removing difficult-to-treat pigments like green, blue, and black inks. For red, yellow, and orange tattoos, an additional wavelength of 532 nm can be used for optimal results across a wider colour spectrum.

PicoSure takes advantage of PressureWave Technology to shatter the target tattoo ink into tiny particles that are easily eliminated by the body without damaging the surrounding tissue. Unlike traditional lasers that rely on heat to break down ink, PicoSure uses PressureWave technology, which minimizes heat buildup in the surrounding skin. This reduces the risk of thermal damage, leading to fewer side effects like scarring and less discomfort during and after treatment.

You get a quick, more comfortable and more efficient elimination of your tattoo for clear skin or tattoo lightening if you’re covering up the tattoo with new art.

What Areas Of The Body Can You Laser Off Tattoos?

Laser tattoo removal is a versatile procedure that can be performed on nearly any area of the body.

Thanks to advancements in laser technology, tattoos can be effectively removed from even the most sensitive and hard-to-reach areas. Works for delicate areas such as parts of the face and is also a comfortable treatment for large tattoo removal areas. 

However, certain factors, like skin type and location, can influence the effectiveness and comfort of the treatment. Some of the areas that can be treated at our tattoo removal clinic are:

  • Chest and Back: Larger tattoos in these areas can be effectively targeted by lasers, though multiple sessions may be required.

  • Arms, Forearm tattoo removal, Sleeve or half-sleeve

  • Neck and Shoulders: Tattoos in these sensitive areas can be removed with care to minimize discomfort.

  • Fingers and Wrists

  • Stomach and Abdomen: Tattoos here can be lasered off, though results may vary depending on the skin's elasticity and texture.

  • Legs

  • Face: Although more delicate, facial tattoos can be lasered off with precision, requiring specialized care.

While laser tattoo removal is effective on most areas of the body, a consultation is necessary to determine the best approach for your specific tattoo.
