Tattoo Removal with Pico Laser in Austin TX

Pico lasers are the preferred choice for clinicians and patients alike when it comes to tattoo removal. The ultra-short pulses of laser light, coupled with how strong and concentrated the energy is, cause ink pigments to shatter into small dust-like particles. These super fine pigment granules are more readily absorbed and eliminated by the body, allowing for faster and more efficient tattoo removal.

Overall, this results in better clearance of the tattoo and fewer total treatments.
However, it’s important to note that every tattoo is in terms of coloring and volume of ink. Bigger and more pigmented tattoos will take more time and treatments to resolve, while smaller and less colorful tattoos may not take as long. It’s important to speak with your attending skin care professional to find out how many treatments you may need and what to expect from each session.

No two tattoo removal processes are exactly the same, as they will vary based on the pigment and size of the tattoo, and the length and number of your removal sessions. During your consultation, your clinician will be able to assess your tattoo and make an educated estimate of how many sessions it will take to remove your tattoo.

However, Pico laser treatment has been clinically proven to work 3 times faster than any other laser treatment on the market when it comes to tattoo removal.

For the best results, it is important to allow your skin adequate time to heal between laser treatments. This allows the body to reabsorb and dispose of the tattoo inks, while also allowing healthy skin cells to take the place of old ones. Most skin care professionals suggest waiting between 6-8 weeks between sessions to give your skin enough time to acclimate and heal.

Your level of pain during Pico laser tattoo removal will depend on the location of your tattoo and your own unique pain threshold.

While tattoo removal does generally hurt to a certain extent (just as getting tattooed hurts a certain amount), patients have noted that Pico laser removal hurts considerably less than its technological predecessors. The pain is often compared to an elastic band being rapidly snapped against the tattoo area, the intensity of which varies from person to person.

Tattoos typically begin to fade within the first 2-3 weeks following your Pico laser treatment.

However, every individual’s response to laser tattoo removal is different as the removal process relies on how effectively your body can eliminate ink from the skin. This can happen quickly for some people and longer for others, so adjusting your expectations accordingly is key. While many clients report fading after a few weeks following their treatment, it’s not uncommon for the body to take a year or longer to completely eliminate ink.
