With the recent surge in popularity of tattoos and the advancements in tattoo artistry, more and more people are getting tattoos.  People get tattoos for many reasons, sometimes after much thought and planning, at other times on the spur-of-the-moment.  The expectation for most is that they will love their tattoo and that they will love it forever. Unfortunately that is not always the case.  If you have a tattoo that just isn’t you, and you want it off, there is good news.  Removing tattoos just got faster with Picosure.

HOW DOES LASER TATTOO REMOVAL WORK?

The ink used in tattoos is made from minerals. To understand how tattoo removal works think of the ink as tiny “rocks.”  With multiple treatments, the “rocks” are broken down into smaller and smaller “pebbles.”  The number of treatments required to get a tattoo off varies greatly based on factors such as the age of the tattoo, whether it was applied by a professional or not, the depth and concentration of ink, the number of colours, the type of laser used, and the technique used to perform the treatments. Traditional lasers 

used for tattoo removal are called Q-Switches.  These nano-second lasers predominantly rely on photothermal action and deliver heat into the pigment and surrounding tissue.  A minimum of 6 treatments and upwards of 15 or 20 are required.  Complete clearance of ink is an unlikelihood if the tattoo has multiple colours.  Scarring is not only possible but probable.  The risk of scarring from Q-Switch treatments is heightened by treatment methods that involve multiple passes in the same session.  

Now there is a New Laser!

Now there is a new pico-second laser that operates at speeds measured in trillionths of a second!  This breakthrough technology, known as Picosure, has opened up a whole new realm of possibilities for the use and effectiveness of lasers including faster clearance of tattoo ink.  Picosure uses pressure-wave technology that creates an in-tense mechanical impact that shatters the ink into tiny particles.  The “rocks” are not reduced to “pebbles,” but instead become “sand.”
