Understanding the PicoWay Laser
Tattoos often hold deep personal significance, but sometimes, circumstances change. Whether you’ve outgrown the design or need to make room for new ink, the PicoWay laser offers an advanced, safe, and effective solution for tattoo removal. This revolutionary laser technology targets the ink beneath your skin, gradually breaking it down over multiple sessions to reveal clear skin once again.

How PicoWay Works
The PicoWay laser operates using ultra-short picosecond pulses, which deliver laser energy to the tattoo ink in tiny bursts. Unlike traditional lasers, which rely on heat, PicoWay uses a photoacoustic effect to shatter the ink particles. These microscopic particles are then naturally eliminated by your body’s immune system over time.

Session 1: The Beginning
Your first PicoWay session is all about assessing the tattoo and starting the removal process. During this session, the laser is calibrated to your skin type and the specific colors of your tattoo. The sensation is often described as a quick snap against the skin, similar to the feeling of a rubber band. After the session, the treated area may appear white or frosted—this is a temporary reaction as the skin begins to absorb the laser’s energy.

Session 2-4: Progress and Patience
As you progress through your sessions, you’ll notice the tattoo gradually fading. Darker colors like black and dark blue typically respond the quickest, while lighter colors such as green and yellow may take a bit longer. Each session is spaced several weeks apart to allow your skin ample time to heal and your body time to remove the shattered ink particles.

During these middle sessions, you’ll start to see significant changes. The tattoo may become patchy or uneven in color, which is a positive sign that the ink is breaking down. It’s essential to follow post-care instructions diligently during this period to ensure the best results and to protect your skin.

Session 5-8: Nearing the Finish Line
By the time you reach the final sessions, the tattoo should be considerably lighter, and in some cases, nearly gone. Depending on factors like the depth of the ink, the age of the tattoo, and your skin’s response, you might need fewer or more sessions. These final treatments are focused on clearing out the remaining stubborn ink particles and fine-tuning the results.

The Aftercare Process
Proper aftercare is crucial to achieving optimal results with PicoWay tattoo removal. Immediately after each session, you should keep the treated area clean and apply a soothing ointment to promote healing. Avoid sun exposure as much as possible, and always use a high-SPF sunscreen to protect the area. Your skin may be sensitive, and maintaining proper care will help prevent scarring or pigmentation changes.

PicoWay is known for its ability to target all ink colors, including those that are traditionally difficult to remove. Its advanced technology also minimizes the risk of scarring and hyperpigmentation, making it a top choice for tattoo removal.
