Many of our patients have tattoos that they either no longer want, or even want to have altered for a new look. While tattoo removal may have meant a great deal of discomfort with less than desirable results in the past, groundbreaking technological advances in tattoo removal lasers have changed tattoo removal forever.
PicoSure is the first of a new generation of aesthetic lasers that don’t rely solely on heat to burn or melt away unwanted tattoo ink or melanin, the pigment that causes dark spots in your skin. Instead of building up heat, PicoSure delivers energy so rapidly (in trillionths of a second) that tiny particles that make up pigment and tattoo ink vibrate and shatter, without burning surrounding tissue. Less heat means less tissue damage and discomfort.
Creating an intense photothermal impact in trillionths of a second, PicoSure’s advanced technology spares the skin high thermal damage and targets the chromophore for better clearance in fewer treatments.
With Picosure we're able to target black, blue, and green tattoo inks, as well as to effectively treat typically hard to correct “sunset colors” like red, yellow and orange. We're even able to treat darker skin patients that may not have had treatment options in the past.
