We all make mistakes, especially when we’re young. Luckily, we don’t have to live with them forever or be reminded of them daily.
If you’re ready to get rid of an embarrassing or just plain ugly tattoo from your past, The Untattoo Parlor can help. We specialize in PicoSure tattoo removal, an efficient laser removal system that works with your body to erase unwanted and hard-to-remove ink efficiently.
What is PicoSure tattoo removal?
As the world’s first laser that uses picoseconds (trillionths of a second) and PressureWave technology, PicoSure delivers laser energy that targets dark and multi-colored tattoo ink without harming the surrounding skin. The PicoSure laser is FDA-approved, safe, and more effective than traditional tattoo removal at removing stubborn ink.
What to expect with PicoSure tattoo removal
During a PicoSure treatment at The Untattoo Parlor, the PressureWave technology will create ultra-short pulses of energy that target ink particles in the skin. These rapid pulses cause a pressure change that breaks tattoo ink into tiny particles. These particles will then be absorbed into the lymphatic system and eliminated naturally by the body.
Treatments for average-sized tattoos take around 10 minutes, while larger tattoos can take much longer. The number of required treatments depends on the size, color, and location of a tattoo and is usually administered every 8 weeks. PicoSure tattoo removal is typically described as similar to getting an actual tattoo and can cause some minor discomfort. For this reason, all of our tattoo removal services are performed by a trained staff of registered nurses and a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, offering a local anesthetic to minimize any discomfort during treatment.
Is PicoSure tattoo removal worth it?
The PicoSure laser is more effective than traditional tattoo removal and in most cases, requires fewer treatments. Most tattoo removal lasers use nanosecond pulses, making PicoSure’s picosecond pulses a more efficient solution for erasing past mistakes. PicoSure works best with green, blue, purple, and black inks, which were previously difficult to treat.
While older laser removal systems simply heat the ink in the skin, PicoSure both heats and fractures the tattoo’s ink into tiny particles, allowing for better absorption and eventual elimination by the body. As a result, this cutting-edge technology has vastly improved the tattoo removal process.
