Laser technology has made it possible to remove unwanted tattoos via a faster and safer method than ever before.
No longer will patients need to consider skin-damaging treatments such as acid removal, excision, and dermabrasion. Today’s aesthetic lasers offer a proven alternative for safer and more effective ink removal.
Lasers remove the ink by targeting ink’s pigment with a high intensity light beam causing it break up into smaller molecules. The ink is then removed and flushed by the body’s natural immune processes, fading the tattoo until it is no longer visible.
Tattoos can be lightened in preparation for a cover-up tattoo. It is usually recommended that you wait eight weeks between your last treatment and when you have the new tattoo completed. Even difficult ink colours such as blues and greens, as well as previously treated tattoos, can be removed in fewer treatments with better clearance and improved recovery time with a Picosure laser.
PicoSure has produced positive results with stubborn colours and previously treated tattoos. The disrupted ink particles are typically absorbed and eliminated over an 8 week period after each treatment, (this is how long it takes the immune system to flush the ink particles) but individual results will vary.
PicoSure is the world’s first and only picosecond aesthetic laser cleared by the FDA.
The PicoSure Difference
PressureWave™ Technology – PicoSure uses the latest technology to remove ink colours by delivering ultra-short picosecond pulses of energy into the skin. These pulses create a photomechanical effect, or PressureWave, that targets ink while avoiding unmarked tissue. PressureWave shatters the ink into tiny, dust-like particles which are easily eliminated by the body. PicoSure’s short bursts are measured in picoseconds (trillionths of a second, 1,000,000,000,000 of a second), which cause the tattoo ink to break apart into tiny particles which are then easily eliminated by the body.
Fewer Treatments, with PicoSure, tattoos can be removed faster, and with fewer treatments than ever before. The number of laser treatments needed for tattoo removal is dependent on a number of variables such as ink type, size of the tattoo and lifestyle habits. Clinical studies for the use of PicoSure to remove tattoos have shown a dramatic reduction in the amount of treatments needed in comparison to Nanosecond lasers (one billionth of a second, 1,000,000,000 of a second) energy pulse.
Picosure’s Laser Tattoo Removal Promises:
Fewer Treatments
With PicoSure, tattoos can be removed faster, and with fewer treatments than ever before. The number of laser treatments needed for tattoo removal is dependent on a number of variables such as ink type, size of the tattoo and lifestyle habits. Clinical studies for the use of PicoSure to remove tattoos, treat hyper or hypo pigmentation, acne scarring and deliver skin rejuvenation results have shown a dramatic reduction in the amount of treatments needed in comparison to Nanosecond lasers.
Better Precision
The PicoSure laser is precise enough that a small amount of a tattoo can be removed without affecting the surrounding tattoo. Tattoos can also be lightened in preparation for a cover-up tattoo. It is usually recommended that you wait six weeks between your last treatment and when you have the new tattoo completed.
Greater Effectiveness
PicoSure has produced positive results with stubborn colours and previously treated tattoos. The disrupted ink particles are typically absorbed and eliminated over an 8 week period after each treatment, (this is how long it takes the immune system to flush the ink particles) but individual results will vary.
Competitive Pricing
The cost of laser tattoo removal depends on several factors, but particularly the size of tattoo. Although PicoSure treatments may cost more per visit, you will need fewer treatments than with older technologies, thus reducing the cost and the downtime. We do our best to give the most competitive rates for laser tattoo removal on the Gold Coast. Book your consultation today!
Picosecond technology vs Nanosecond technology
PicoSure works by utilising PressureWave technology (ultra-short picosecond pulses of energy delivered into the skin),
which provides greater results per treatment and incurs less discomfort during treatment than lasers utilising Nanosecond technology.
