Tattoo Removal Picoway Laser Treatment

Tattoo removal with the PicoWay machine is a cutting-edge method using a picosecond laser to effectively remove tattoos and certain pigmented skin lesions. This technology is known to be faster, more efficient and less aggressive than traditional lasers.

How does tattoo removal work with the PicoWay laser? 

The PicoWay machine uses ultra-short laser pulses measured in picoseconds (or one trillionth of a second) to target the tattoo ink pigments.

This operation is based on two principles: 

1.Photoacoustic (and non-thermal) effect:

Unlike traditional lasers which use heat to destroy pigments (thermal effect), the PicoWay sends extremely fast pulses which create shock waves. These waves break up the tattoo ink into microscopic particles, without excessively heating the skin. 

2.Natural elimination:

Once the ink is fragmented, the body’s immune system (via macrophages) gradually eliminates these particles. This results in a progressive lightening of the tattoo over the course of the sessions. 

 Why is PicoWay more efficient? 

•Ultra-fast: Picosecond pulses spray ink more efficiently than traditional nanosecond lasers.

•Less pain and side effects: The absence of excessive heat reduces the risk of burns, scars and depigmentation.

•Color Versatility: The PicoWay can target a wide range of ink colors, including the most difficult to remove like blue, green or red.

•Suitable for all skin types: It is suitable for both light and dark skin, with a reduced risk of hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation. 

Progress of a PicoWay tattoo removal

session 

1.Consultation: Analysis of the tattoo (size, color, depth) and the patient’s skin.

2. Preparation of the skin: Application of an anesthetic cream to minimize discomfort.

3.Treatment: The laser is applied to the tattooed area. Tingling sensations or small bursts may be felt.

4. Post-treatment care: Application of a healing cream and recommendations to protect the skin (avoid the sun, keep the skin hydrated).  

Number of sessions required

The number of sessions depends on several factors:

•Depth and density of the tattoo

•Colors used (dark inks fade faster than bright colors)

•Skin type and healing ability In general, it takes between 4 and 10 sessions, spaced 6 to 8 weeks apart, for complete tattoo removal.  Possible side effects

•Temporary redness and swelling

•Formation of crusts or small blisters•Feeling of warmth or tingling These effects usually disappear within a few days.  

Benefits of PicoWay Tattoo Removal

•Faster and more effective treatment than traditional lasers

•Less painful and with a shorter recovery time

•Less risk of scarring and skin damage

•Effective on multi-colored tattoos and resistant inks

In summary, tattoo removal with the PicoWay laser is a modern, safe and efficient solution for gradually erasing tattoos, with faster results and better tolerance compared to older technologies.
