Laser Tattoo Removal: Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How does laser tattoo removal work?
A: A laser targets ink particles with light energy, breaking them down so your immune system can flush them out naturally.

Q: What is the PicoWay system?
A: PicoWay uses ultra-short laser pulses (picoseconds) to shatter ink more efficiently, making it one of the most advanced tattoo removal systems.

Q: What makes PicoWay different?
A: It’s effective on a wide range of colors, including tough ones like blue and green, and is safe for all skin types.

Q: What is selective photothermolysis?
A: It’s a process where laser energy is selectively absorbed by tattoo ink—leaving the surrounding skin untouched.

Q: How many sessions will I need?
A: Most tattoos require multiple sessions, typically spaced 8 weeks apart, depending on ink color, depth, and your body’s healing ability.

Q: Will it hurt or leave scars?
A: Some discomfort is normal, but most patients describe it as tolerable. PicoWay minimizes the risk of scarring compared to older lasers.
