01. Does Picoway® laser work for colored tattoo removal?

Yes, Picoway laser technology is designed to work on a wide range of tattoo colors, including darker colors like black and blue, as well as lighter colors like green and yellow. This advanced laser technology uses ultra-short pulses to break up the pigment particles in the tattoo ink, allowing the body's natural processes to remove the ink over time. Whether you have a single-color tattoo or a multicolored design, Picoway laser technology can help you achieve your desired results.

02. How many sessions do I need?

The number of sessions required for tattoo removal with Picoway laser technology can vary depending on a number of factors, including the size and location of the tattoo, the colors used, and the age of the tattoo. On average, most patients require between 6 to 12 sessions to achieve optimal results. However, some tattoos may require fewer or more sessions depending on their complexity. During your initial consultation, your provider will assess your tattoo and give you a more accurate estimate of the number of sessions required for complete removal. With each session, you'll notice a gradual fading of the tattoo until it's completely gone, leaving you with a clear, unblemished complexion.
