Tattoos can be a beautiful form of self-expression, but what happens when your ink no longer aligns with who you are? Whether it’s an impulsive decision from years ago or a design that just hasn’t aged well, tattoo regret is common. Fortunately, advances in laser technology have made tattoo removal more effective than ever—especially for larger tattoos. At GloUp Beauty Studio, we use the cutting-edge PicoWay laser to help our clients say goodbye to unwanted ink with minimal discomfort and downtime.

Why Choose the PicoWay Laser?

The PicoWay laser is one of the most advanced tattoo removal systems available today. Unlike traditional lasers that use heat to break down tattoo ink, the PicoWay delivers ultra-short pulses of energy—measured in picoseconds (trillionths of a second). This allows the laser to shatter ink particles into tiny fragments that are easier for your body to eliminate naturally.

Key benefits of the PicoWay laser include:

• Effectiveness on All Colors: The PicoWay laser can target a wide range of tattoo colors, including difficult-to-remove shades like greens and blues.

• Minimized Skin Damage: The ultra-fast pulses limit the amount of heat that reaches the skin, reducing the risk of scarring or pigmentation changes.

• Fewer Treatments: Thanks to its advanced technology, the PicoWay often requires fewer sessions to achieve desired results, even for larger tattoos.

What to Expect During Treatment

Removing a larger tattoo with the PicoWay laser is a process, but the results are worth the journey. Here’s what you can expect during your treatment series:

1. Consultation Before starting treatment, we’ll have an in-depth consultation to assess your tattoo. Factors like the size, color, age of the tattoo, and your skin type will determine the number of sessions needed. Larger tattoos typically require more treatments, spaced several weeks apart, to allow your skin time to heal and your body to flush out the ink particles.

2. The Treatment Process During each session, the PicoWay laser will be calibrated to target the specific colors and depth of your tattoo. You might feel a snapping sensation as the laser pulses hit your skin, but most clients describe the discomfort as mild and tolerable. We can also apply a topical numbing cream to enhance your comfort.

3. Post-Treatment Care After each session, you’ll notice some redness and swelling, similar to a mild sunburn. This is a normal part of the healing process. Applying ice packs and keeping the area moisturized with a recommended ointment will help soothe the skin. It’s important to avoid sun exposure and follow all aftercare instructions to achieve the best results.

4. The Results Tattoo removal is a gradual process. With each session, you’ll see the ink fade and the design become less defined. Patience is key, especially with larger tattoos. On average, most people need 6-10 sessions for significant fading, though the exact number will vary based on your tattoo’s characteristics.

Why Larger Tattoos Take Time

It’s important to understand that larger tattoos require more time to remove compared to smaller ones. The sheer volume of ink and the area it covers means the PicoWay laser must work more extensively to break down the particles. Additionally, the body’s immune response plays a crucial role in clearing away the fragmented ink, and this process takes time.

However, the PicoWay laser’s precision and power mean that even large tattoos can be effectively removed with fewer sessions than older laser technologies would require. The key is to commit to the process and follow through with the full course of treatments.
