How laser tattoo removal works

Pico laser tattoo removal works by breaking pigment into tiny particles so the body can naturally flush it out. Sessions are typically spaced 6 to 8 weeks apart, each session only takes a few minutes, and clients gradually see fading after every visit.

How many sessions will I need?

The number of sessions depends on your goals, whether you want lightening for a cover-up or full removal. Most small tattoos take about 3 to 7 sessions, brow PMU may take 1 to 3 sessions, and color or layered tattoos may take 6 to 10 sessions. Ink depth, color, age, skin type, and goals all affect the timeline.

What to expect at and after your appointment

During your appointment, you can expect a quick consult, patch test, optional numbing, and a 5 to 15 minute treatment. After your appointment, you may be instructed to ice the area, apply ointment, avoid sun exposure, and expect mild redness or swelling. Aftercare instructions are sent home with you.

Does laser tattoo removal hurt?

Most clients say laser tattoo removal feels like a quick rubber band snap. Treatments are fast, usually only a few minutes, and the discomfort only lasts during the laser pulses, not afterward. Numbing may be available for clients who are extra sensitive.
