PicoWay laser – the most advanced laser technology for tattoo removal in London
What is PicoWay laser tattoo removal?
There are several laser treatments on the market that can fade or fully remove unwanted tattoos, but not all of them work on every skin type. This is where PicoWay laser tattoo removal is different.
PicoWay Laser is one of the most advanced laser treatments. It works on every skin colour, including darker skin tones, and effectively removes every colour of tattoo ink on the spectrum. This is why PicoWay is known as the gold standard in tattoo removal treatments.
How is it so effective? Instead of using heat to break down tattoo ink into tiny particles, it uses ultra-short bursts of light energy to break down tattoo ink into smaller particles. This process allows your body to absorb the broken-down ink and flush it out naturally easily.
The main benefits of PicoWay laser tattoo removal
- Uses picosecond technology (high-speed light energy) to break down tattoo ink into smaller ink particles, unlike traditional laser treatments that use heat, which can damage the skin.
- Works on all skin types, including dark skin tones, without causing skin pigmentation issues or scarring. This is because the laser energy precisely targets the tattoo ink and ignores the melanin in your skin.
- Easily breaks down green and blue tattoo ink using the 730nm handpiece.
- Offers complete removal of red, orange and yellow ink, unlike other laser treatments. PicoWay uses a 532nm wavelength for more effective removal of these ink colours.
- A safe and effective method of tattoo removal that requires fewer treatments and shatters your ink into tiny particles for your body to remove them easily.
PicoWay Tattoo Removal Procedure London
Your laser expert will cleanse your skin to ensure the treatment area is ready for the laser. They will also give you protective eyewear to shield your eyes from the laser light energy.
You may be asking yourself, “Is PicoWay laser tattoo removal painful?” The answer is yes, but the treatment is fairly comfortable. To guarantee minimal discomfort, we use a cryo machine throughout, which blows extremely cold air onto the skin. This also helps to protect your skin.
We do not use topical numbing creams on your skin before laser treatment. These creams can change the texture of your skin and make the tattoo removal process more challenging.
During your tattoo removal session, the device fires ultra-short bursts of laser energy directly into the tattoo. This ensures that we are targeting the ink particles directly, breaking them down into much smaller particles for your immune system to flush out.
We will use different wavelengths to target different colours and depths of your ink.
Each tattoo removal session should take 10-20 minutes. This will depend on the size, age, and location of your tattoo. Small tattoos can take a few seconds, whereas larger, newer tattoos take longer.
See our accompanying blog on how PicoWay laser works for added information.
After PicoWay Removal London
Following your treatment, your skin may look red and slightly swollen. This is entirely normal and nothing to worry about. You may even experience some blisters when we remove tattoos from specific areas.
We will provide aftercare instructions to help you heal after each session. These include applying a cold compress or ice pack to the treatment area to reduce redness. After 48 hours, we will also encourage you to use a vitamin E or aloe vera gel to soothe any itching and calm the skin.
You must also cover your tattoo up when you go out in the sun. If you cannot do this, wear a factor 50 sunscreen to protect your skin.
How many PicoWay sessions will I need?
The number of PicoWay sessions for laser tattoo removal depends on your skin type, tattoo design, tattoo location, and tattoo age.
We will assess this during your consultation and create a bespoke tattoo removal treatment plan to provide excellent results.
Everyone responds differently to laser tattoo removal, but on average, you will need:
- 2-6 tattoo removal treatments to fade a tattoo
- 6-10 sessions to entirely remove your unwanted tattoos
To get the most out of your sessions, you need to give your skin time to heal. For this reason, you will need to wait at least 10 weeks between each tattoo removal treatment. This recovery time also gives your body a chance to process the broken-down ink.
