There are many reasons why you might be thinking about getting your unwanted tattoo removed. From not liking your tattoo artist’s design to it being a constant reminder of something you would rather forget – we’ve all been there.
Luckily, the advancements in laser technology mean that your tattoo does not have to be for life. But even with all the laser tattoo treatments available, you still need to find the right one.
At Zapp Laser Studio, we offer quick and safe tattoo removal using PicoSure laser technology. With this laser treatment, we can completely remove small tattoos in just a few sessions. Larger and more challenging tattoos will need a little more patience.
If you are curious about PicoSure laser tattoo removal, let’s break down the specifics of the process, including how many PicoSure treatments you need to remove a tattoo.
The benefits of PicoSure laser treatment to remove unwanted tattoos
PicoSure tattoo removal is one of the most advanced laser treatments on the market. It works much more precisely and targets tattoo ink much harder and faster than traditional laser devices. For you, this means fewer treatments to fade or completely remove a tattoo.
The other benefits of PicoSure laser tattoo removal include:
- Uses two different wavelengths to target all tattoo ink colours on the spectrum
- Works on most skin types but is most effective if your skin tone is 1-4
- Each of your laser tattoo removal sessions will take less than ten minutes to complete
- Fades both traditional tattoos and cosmetic tattoos such as eyebrow tattoos
- Removes tattoo ink without causing damage to your surrounding skin
How does PicoSure laser tattoo removal work?
Laser tattoo removal treatment is a quick and straightforward process. During each of your tattoo removal sessions, we will use the laser device to send ultra-short bursts of laser light energy at a fast rate into the tattoo ink.
It is this precise way of targeting tattoo ink that destroys the tattoo without harming the healthy skin around it. The PicoSure method is also proven to tackle and remove tattoos with the most challenging ink colours such as blues and greens.
You might be thinking – but what happens to the tattoo ink that the laser targets and destroys? The PicoSure laser works by shattering the tattoo ink into much smaller particles, which your body can then easily absorb and pass through your immune system.
Essentially, after each session, your body will flush out the ink until it is all gone after your laser treatment.
Each of the laser tattoo removal sessions works to target the ink in different layers of your skin:
- The first few laser treatments will target ink in the sub-dermal layer of the skin (deeper layers)
- The final sessions will use increased laser energy to target and shatter ink on the surface of the skin
At Zapp Laser Studio, we create bespoke treatments for removing tattoos. We assess everything from the location and size of your tattoo to the tattoo ink colours and age. This will help us determine how many laser removal sessions you will need to fade or remove your tattoo completely.
How many tattoo removal sessions will you need?
There is no one answer to this question as every tattoo is different and how everyone will respond to treatment will be different.
When you have your laser tattoo removal treatment with Zapp Laser Studio, you will be in the hands of professional laser technicians. We work with every type of tattoo, from the more complex and intricate designs to smaller tattoos.
Fading your unwanted tattoo will take fewer treatments than if you want to completely remove your tattoo. On average you can expect to have:
- 6-10 treatments to completely remove your tattoo
- 2-6 treatments to fade a tattoo
As we mentioned, the age, size, density of the ink and ink colour will impact how many laser treatment sessions you need.
