Common Questions About PicoWay Tattoo and Permanent Makeup Removal

Considering PicoWay for tattoo or permanent makeup removal? It's natural to have questions before committing to any procedure. PicoWay has become a leading choice for those looking to erase unwanted ink, thanks to its advanced technology and remarkable results. Below, we’ll answer some of the most common questions clients ask about PicoWay tattoo and permanent makeup removal.

1. How Does PicoWay Work?
PicoWay is a state-of-the-art laser system that uses ultra-short picosecond pulses to target ink particles in the skin. Unlike traditional lasers, which rely on heat, PicoWay uses a photoacoustic effect to shatter the ink into tiny fragments. These smaller particles are easier for the body to eliminate, leading to faster and more effective results with minimal discomfort.

2. Is PicoWay Safe for All Skin Types?
Yes, PicoWay is safe for all skin types. The laser’s precision allows it to target the ink without damaging surrounding skin, making it an excellent option for individuals with darker skin tones. Additionally, PicoWay's adjustable settings ensure that the treatment can be customized to your unique skin type and tattoo color.

3. How Many Sessions Will I Need?
The number of sessions required depends on several factors, including the size, color, and age of the tattoo or permanent makeup. On average, most tattoos require between 6 to 10 sessions for complete removal. Lighter inks, such as green and blue, and newer tattoos may require additional treatments. During your consultation, our specialists will assess your specific situation and provide a more personalized estimate.

4. Does the Treatment Hurt?
Pain tolerance varies from person to person, but many clients describe PicoWay treatments as feeling like a series of quick snaps against the skin. While the sensation is similar to getting a tattoo, it’s generally less intense. For added comfort, we offer numbing options to minimize any discomfort during the procedure.

5. What Can I Expect After the Treatment?
After a PicoWay session, you may experience some redness, swelling, or mild bruising in the treated area. These side effects are temporary and usually subside within a few days. It’s important to follow aftercare instructions provided by your specialist, which typically include keeping the area clean, avoiding sun exposure, and refraining from picking at any scabs.

6. Can PicoWay Remove All Colors?
PicoWay is highly effective at removing a wide range of ink colors, including stubborn shades like green and blue, which are often difficult to erase with other lasers. Its multiple wavelengths allow it to target different colors more effectively, making it a versatile solution for complex, multi-colored tattoos and permanent makeup.

7. Is PicoWay Suitable for Removing Permanent Makeup?
Yes, PicoWay is an excellent choice for removing unwanted permanent makeup, such as eyebrow tattoos, eyeliner, and lip liner. The laser’s precision ensures that it can target the ink without damaging delicate facial skin. However, because the pigments used in permanent makeup are often lighter, additional sessions may be required for complete removal.

8. Will the Tattoo or Makeup Be Completely Gone?
PicoWay offers significant results, and many clients see near-complete removal of their tattoos or permanent makeup. However, results can vary based on individual factors like skin type, ink color, and the age of the tattoo. In some cases, a faint trace may remain, but it is usually much less noticeable than the original ink.

9. How Much Does PicoWay Tattoo and Permanent Makeup Removal Cost?
The cost of PicoWay removal varies depending on the size and complexity of the tattoo or makeup. During your consultation, we’ll provide a detailed cost estimate based on your specific needs. While PicoWay may be more expensive than other removal methods, its effectiveness and reduced risk of scarring make it a worthwhile investment.

10. How Do I Get Started?
If you’re considering PicoWay tattoo or permanent makeup removal, the first step is to schedule a consultation with a qualified specialist. They’ll evaluate your skin and ink, discuss your goals, and create a personalized treatment plan to help you achieve the best possible results.
