Tattoo Removal – New Generation Solution with Picosure Laser


As a physician interested in aesthetic applications, in this article I would like to talk about a technology that we have heard about frequently in recent years in tattoo removal processes, namely PicoSure Laser. This is one of the topics that my patients have been most curious about, especially recently.

What is Picosure?
PicoSure is one of the most advanced laser technologies used in tattoo removal. It gets its name from its ability to shoot in “picoseconds” (i.e. a short time unit of one trillionth of a second). This means that it sends more effective energy to the skin in a much shorter time.

How to Remove a Tattoo with Picosure?
PicoSure sends ultra-short laser shots to the color pigments in the tattoo, breaking these pigments into pieces as small as dust grains. These particles are easily cleaned by the body.

Thanks to Pico technology:

Colored tattoos (especially difficult colors such as green and blue) are removed more effectively,

Fewer sessions are required,

The risk of skin damage is minimized,

The healing process is much faster.

Does it hurt?
As with every laser application, there may be a slight stinging sensation. However, since PicoSure shots are very short-lived, the procedure is more comfortable. If necessary, pain can be reduced by using local anesthetic cream before the procedure.

How Many Sessions Are Required?
While 8-10 sessions may be required in classic laser systems, this number can usually be reduced to 4-6 sessions with PicoSure. Of course, a personalized plan is made according to factors such as the tattoo's:

Color,

Depth,

Quality of dye used,

Skin type.

Does Picosure Leave a Scar?

This is one of the biggest advantages of PicoSure: It only affects the dye pigments without damaging the skin. In this way, the skin tissue is protected and the risk of scarring is much less than with classic lasers.

Who is it suitable for?
Those who want to completely remove their tattoos,

Those who have colored tattoos,

Those who want to see faster results with fewer sessions,

It is an ideal option for those who are worried about scarring on their skin.

What to Pay Attention to Afterwards?
The skin may be slightly reddened and there may be slight crusting after the procedure.

You should definitely protect yourself from the sun.

You should regularly use the creams recommended by your doctor.

You should not pick the crusts or irritate the area.

Conclusion
PicoSure laser is a new generation technology that combines comfort, speed and success in tattoo removal. If you want to get rid of your tattoo safely and effectively, this system may be the right option for you.

Every skin is different, every tattoo has a different story. It is always the healthiest step to get an expert opinion to determine the most suitable method for you.

Remove safely, proceed without leaving a scar.

Stay healthy,
