The PICO laser emits ultra-short pulses of energy that break down tattoo ink into tiny particles, which are naturally cleared by your body's immune system. This method is highly effective for treating all colors of tattoos with minimal damage to surrounding skin.

A DeScribe Patch is an advanced tool that can be used during laser tattoo removal to minimize discomfort and reduce the number of sessions needed for effective treatment. It acts as a barrier between the skin and the laser, making treatments more comfortable.

Tattoo removal with the PICO laser can cause some discomfort, often described as similar to a rubber band snap. However, most patients find it tolerable, and numbing cream and Pronox(laughing gas) are available to minimize pain.

The number of sessions depends on the size, color, and age of the tattoo.  You will be given an approximate estimate of how many sessions to expect during your
laser consultation.  Generally, several treatments spaced 6-8 weeks apart are required.

The duration of a session depends on the size and complexity of the tattoo. Small tattoos can be treated in as little as 20 minutes, while larger areas may take longer.

Yes, once the tattoo ink is broken down and cleared by your body, the removal is permanent. However, the number of sessions needed to completely remove a tattoo can vary based on the ink used and its depth in the skin.

Common side effects include temporary redness and swelling at the treatment site. These typically resolve within a few days, and proper aftercare can minimize any risks.

Avoid sun exposure, tanning, and any skin irritants in the area to be treated.  You will be required to apply numbing cream prior to your appointment.
