If you are having second thoughts about a recent tattoo or want to start with a clean slate for some fresh ink, laser tattoo removal is your best option.
Sure, some creams or ointments promise to remove unwanted tattoos. But, in reality, the results tend to be poor, and they often cause damage to your skin, including scarring.
Modern laser treatments are a fast, safe and effective way to fade tattoos or completely remove them. This includes the advanced laser technology you get with the PicoWay laser tattoo removal device.
But if you have a complex, multi-coloured tattoo, can PicoWay remove all tattoo colours?
Our laser experts are here to help. We’ll break down how PicoWay laser tattoo removal works, how many sessions you might need and why Zapp Laser Studio is your best option to remove all ink colours and tattoo designs.

What is laser tattoo removal?
Laser tattoo removal is a popular cosmetic treatment that breaks down tattoo ink to fade or completely remove it from the skin.
The tattoo removal process works by using concentrated laser energy to shatter tattoo ink into smaller ink particles. This is then naturally processed and flushed out through your body’s immune system.
During your research, you may have encountered several laser devices that claim to help fade or remove tattoos.
But, unfortunately, not all laser tattoo treatments are created equal.
Not all laser devices are suitable for all skin tones, skin types and can remove all tattoo ink colours. But this is where PicoWay laser tattoo removal stands out.
PicoWay laser treatments – the best laser device for all skin types
PicoWay tattoo removal is one of the most advanced laser treatments available. This picosecond laser uses ultra-short bursts of laser energy at a very fast rate (picoseconds) to target and shatter tattoo ink.
Unlike traditional lasers, PicoWay uses multiple wavelengths, which makes it more effective in tackling the most challenging tattoo ink colours. This includes black ink, green tattoos and yellow ink.
Another reason to choose PicoWay tattoo removal treatments is that the laser is effective on all skin types, including those with darker skin tones. This is because it targets tattoo ink with high precision and does not rely solely on heat energy to break down the ink. As a result, there is less chance of thermal damage to the surrounding skin.
At Zapp Laser Studio, we use a 1064 nm wavelength, which ignores the melanin in your skin and only targets the tattoo ink. This prevents the chances of scarring or hyperpigmentation on dark skin and other skin types.
How does PicoWay laser use multiple wavelengths to remove all tattoo ink colours?
For removing tattoos, the PicoWay laser uses three different wavelengths – 532nm, 730nm and 1064nm. This enables us to tailor your tattoo removal treatment to your skin type, skin tone and tattoo type. It also ensures we can treat all colours on the spectrum.
Here is how we use the wavelengths to treat different ink colours:
- Black and dark inks – 1064nm
- Blue and green inks –730nm
- Red, orange and yellow inks – 532nm
How many treatments are needed to remove a tattoo?
There is more good news when you choose PicoWay treatments. They will require fewer sessions compared to other laser treatments. This is because the laser works with precision to target your ink faster.
However, this isn’t to say that you will have your tattoo removed in one or two treatments. No laser treatment can promise results like this.
Everyone will respond to laser tattoo removal differently. Our laser experts take the time to assess your skin type, tattoo type and tattoo design. This ensures that we are using the correct wavelength and can determine how many laser treatments you will need to see great results.
On average, our clients need 6-10 treatment sessions to remove tattoos entirely. If you want to fade your tattoo to cover it up, you will need around 2-6 treatments.
What affects how many PicoWay laser treatments I will need to remove a tattoo?
While it is true that with PicoWay, you will need fewer treatments, there are several factors that will influence how many sessions you will need. This includes:
- Tattoo size and design
- Tattoo location
- Tattoo ink colours
- Depth and density of tattoo ink
- Age of your tattoo
- Your skin condition and age
