Tattoo Removal
PicoSure Pro laser is the worldwide gold standard for Tattoo removal and skin rejuvenation
Do you suffer from tattoo regret? Are you among the 20-50% who received a tattoo and later came to regret your decision? If you thought it was forever, it doesn’t have to be.
When it comes to tattoo removal, the most important thing is choosing the right laser to remove your tattoo. At UltraSmile, our team uses the latest tattoo removal laser from Cynosure: The PicoSure Pro.
The PicoSure Pro laser is the most powerful and advanced tattoo removal lasers on the market. Its revolutionary technology can break up even the deepest tattoo ink with minimal discomfort and minimal risk of scarring or skin discoloration. It treats and removes all types of tattoos in half the number of sessions versus other old technologies available.
The PicoSure Pro employs the use of pressure and not heat to create change in the skin, tattoo removal is often less painful, and results are obtained much faster in less sessions than other lasers used to remove tattoos.
Additionally, because the laser energy is targeting the ink that is most often found in the deep dermis or subcutaneous layers of skin, you will not be left with hypo pigment, appearing as white spots where the tattoo used to be. PicoSure Pro is able to remove all colours of ink from the skin, including reds, yellows and oranges, which traditionally have been the most difficult colours to remove. This laser is suitable for any skin type.
The PicoSure Pro is the perfect tattoo removal solution for those seeking a safe and effective way to get rid of unwanted tattoos. With its advanced laser technology and unparalleled results, it is the ideal choice for a successful tattoo removal experience.
How Does Laser Removal work?
So how does laser tattoo removal work? The basic principle involves a high-intensity light beam with a laser that breaks up the pigment.
PicoSure Pro’s picosecond technology is a revolutionary advancement in the field of laser tattoo removal. Unlike traditional nanosecond lasers, PicoSure Pro emits ultra-short pulses of energy in picoseconds, which are one trillionth of a second. This incredibly rapid and precise energy delivery is the key to its effectiveness. When the picosecond pulses hit the tattoo ink, they create a photomechanical effect, generating intense pressure on the ink particles.
This pressure causes the ink to shatter into tiny, dust-like fragments. These micro-particles are considerably smaller than those produced by nanosecond lasers, making them easier for the body’s immune system to clear away. PicoSure Pro’s picosecond technology not only breaks down tattoo ink more efficiently but also minimizes the risk of damage to the surrounding skin, resulting in improved results and faster healing times.
What is the Process?
Consultation: Before starting the treatment, you will have a consultation with our qualified laser technician or doctor. During this consultation, your skin type, the colours of your tattoo, and other relevant factors will be assessed to determine the appropriate settings for the PicoSure Pro laser.
Preparation: The technician will clean the tattooed area and apply a numbing cream or use a cooling device to minimize discomfort during the procedure.
Laser Treatment: PicoSure Pro uses ultra-short pulses of energy (picoseconds) to target the tattoo ink. These pulses are delivered in a fraction of the time compared to traditional lasers, helping to break down the ink particles into smaller fragments. The body’s natural processes can then eliminate these smaller particles more effectively.
Number of Sessions: The number of sessions required depends on various factors, including the size, colour, and age of the tattoo, as well as individual skin characteristics. Some tattoos may require multiple sessions spaced several weeks apart for optimal results.
Post-Treatment Care: After each session, you may experience redness, swelling, and minor discomfort in the treated area. It’s essential to follow the aftercare instructions provided by your practitioner, which may include avoiding sun exposure, applying ointments, and keeping the treated area clean.
Results: Results vary from person to person, but PicoSure Pro is known for providing faster and more effective tattoo removal compared to traditional lasers. The technology is particularly effective for treating stubborn ink colours, such as blues and greens.

Questions
PicoSure Pro is an advanced laser technology designed for tattoo removal. It uses picosecond pulses to break down tattoo ink into smaller particles, making it easier for the body to eliminate them.
PicoSure Pro works by delivering ultra-short pulses of energy to the tattoo ink. These pulses are in picoseconds, which is faster than traditional Q-switched lasers. The rapid energy delivery shatters the ink into tiny particles, allowing the body’s immune system to eliminate them naturally.
Many users and practitioners claim that PicoSure Pro is more effective than traditional lasers, particularly for stubborn and multicolored tattoos. The shorter pulses of energy are believed to break down the ink more efficiently.
The number of sessions required varies based on factors such as the size, color, and age of the tattoo, as well as individual skin characteristics. On average, several sessions are needed, usually spaced several weeks apart.
PicoSure Pro is generally safe for all skin types. However, it’s essential to consult with a qualified practitioner who can assess your skin type and determine the most suitable treatment plan.
The recovery time is relatively short compared to traditional lasers. Patients may experience redness, swelling, and mild discomfort for a few days. It’s essential to follow post-treatment care instructions provided by the practitioner.
Side effects are typically mild and temporary, including redness, swelling, and blistering. Serious complications are rare when the treatment is performed by a qualified and experienced practitioner.
While PicoSure Pro is effective for various tattoo colors, some pigments may respond differently. Black and dark-colored inks usually respond well, while certain lighter colors may require more sessions.
The sensation during PicoSure Pro treatment is often described as similar to snapping a rubber band against the skin. Some discomfort is normal, but practitioners may use numbing creams or cooling devices to minimize it.
The waiting period between sessions is typically several weeks to allow the body to eliminate the broken-down ink particles. The exact interval will be determined by the practitioner based on individual response and tattoo characteristics.
