Services - Tattoo Removal
Precise Pico tattoo removal refers to the use of advanced picosecond laser technology to effectively and safely eliminate unwanted tattoos. Unlike traditional lasers that emit nanosecond pulses, picosecond lasers deliver ultra-short bursts of energy, measured in trillionths of a second. This rapid delivery allows for more precise targeting of tattoo ink particles, breaking them down into smaller fragments that the body can naturally eliminate.

Here are the most common questions for those just getting started with their tattoo removal journey.
Thanks to our advanced PicoWay technologies, we can work on even the more challenging tattoo colors that at one time would have been impossible to eliminate from the skin. It is even an alternative for those who have tried tattoo removal before but gave up after seeing the poor results.
Most tattoos can be entirely removed using our lasers. Based on the specific characteristics of your tattoo, our laser professionals will be open with you about what level of removal is most likely to be possible for your tattoo.
Where the tattoo is located on your body, and how much ink is present, does have an impact. The further away from your heart and the denser the ink, the longer it will take to remove the tattoo. For example, a tattoo on a foot can take significantly more sessions to remove than the same size and color tattoo on the chest. This is because the blood circulation is much better closer to the heart than in your foot (the same reason your feet get colder quicker than the rest of your body). The less circulation present to carry away the ink, the longer it will take to remove the tattoo.
Many tattoo artists encourage customers to lighten an existing tattoo before covering it with a new one. This dramatically reduces any chance of the old tattoo appearing through the new one. In most cases, a minimum of three to six treatments is all that’s required to lighten an existing tattoo.
Our Picoway lasers pulse is so quick that they’re able to dissolve the ink without destroying the live tissue in the process. Like running your hand over a candle very quickly, there is not enough time to burn the skin. Redness, swelling, blistering, and scabbing may follow tattoo removal laser treatments. But our laser technology combined with proper aftercare ensures that there will be no scarring.

Laser treatment usually doesn’t take more than a few minutes, depending on the size of the tattoo, complexity, and color(s) of the tattoo. On average we can have you in and out in fifteen minutes!
Removing a tattoo is a fading process that requires several treatments scheduled six to eight weeks apart. Black inks usually respond more quickly than bright colors because they absorb the light better. The depth, ink color, and amount of ink, as well as the location of the tattoo, are all determining factors in how quickly we’ll be able to get your tattoo off. Depending on your preference for fading or full removal, the process can take between 5 -12 sessions
Using our advanced Pico Laser technology, most tattoos are removed in as few as 10 visits, with sessions scheduled eight weeks apart. The PSRx Body & Skin professionals will take great care in establishing your personalized treatment plan and expectations based on the specific characteristics of your skin and your tattoo.
Most patients say that the laser treatment feels like being snapped by a rubber band and that the discomfort is roughly equivalent to having a tattoo applied. Here at PSRx Body & Skin we focus on making the procedure as comfortable as possible. In preparation for a laser procedure doctors recommend that non-aspirin products be used for minor pain. Don’t use aspirin or Ibuprofen as this can produce bruising after treatment. We are also unique in using the Zimmer Cryo 6 cooling system. We cool the skin before, during, and after the procedure, reducing pain while decreasing thermal temperature.
Laser treatment is a safe and effective method for removing tattoos when it’s performed by a certified technician trained to use tattoo removal lasers.
