Jan 27, 2023

Welcome to Foley James D MD, your trusted source for advanced laser tattoo removal services. In this article, we will explore the innovative PicoWay® laser technology and how it efficiently removes unwanted tattoos. If you're considering tattoo removal, understanding the process is crucial. Let's dive into the details!

The PicoWay® Laser - A Revolutionary Approach

PicoWay® laser tattoo removal is a state-of-the-art technique that utilizes picosecond laser technology to break down ink particles into smaller fragments. This advanced laser system delivers ultra-short pulses of energy targeted at the tattooed area, resulting in effective tattoo removal with minimal impact on surrounding skin.

How Does the PicoWay® Laser Target Ink?

The PicoWay® laser emits laser pulses at an extremely rapid rate, measured in picoseconds (trillionths of a second). These short pulses generate a strong pressure wave that breaks down the tattoo ink into tiny particles. The laser targets the pigment colors by utilizing specific wavelengths that can effectively penetrate different ink colors while minimizing damage to the surrounding tissues.

The picosecond pulses of the laser allow for better ink shattering, resulting in increased efficiency and faster clearance of the tattoo. This cutting-edge laser technology is suitable for various tattoo colors, including resistant inks that were difficult to remove using traditional laser systems.

The PicoWay® Laser Process

Before the laser treatment, our experienced medical professionals will conduct a thorough consultation to assess your specific tattoo and determine the best approach for removal. This personalized approach ensures optimal results with minimal side effects.

Step 1: Preparation and Anesthesia

Prior to the procedure, the tattooed area will be cleaned, and a topical anesthetic may be applied to minimize any potential discomfort. Our team will ensure you are comfortable throughout the process.

Step 2: Laser Treatment

Once preparation is complete, the PicoWay® laser will be directed at the tattooed area. You may feel a sensation similar to the snap of a rubber band against the skin, but the treatment is generally well-tolerated. The duration of the treatment session depends on the size and complexity of the tattoo.

Step 3: Aftercare and Recovery

After the laser treatment, you may experience minor redness, swelling, or blistering in the treated area. This is a normal part of the healing process and should subside in a few days. Our medical professionals will provide you with aftercare instructions to ensure proper healing and minimize any potential complications.

Advantages of PicoWay® Laser Tattoo Removal

PicoWay® laser tattoo removal offers several advantages over traditional tattoo removal methods:

  • Efficiency: The picosecond pulses of the PicoWay® laser break down tattoo ink effectively, providing efficient removal in fewer treatment sessions compared to older laser technologies.
  • Minimal Discomfort: The PicoWay® laser system is designed to minimize pain and discomfort during the procedure. Our team takes every measure to ensure your comfort throughout the process.
  • Faster Results: Due to the advanced technology and precise targeting, PicoWay® laser tattoo removal results in faster clearance of tattoos, allowing you to achieve your desired outcome in a shorter period.
  • Minimal Side Effects: PicoWay® laser treatment is known for its minimal side effects, such as redness and swelling, which typically subside within a few days. The gentle nature of the laser reduces the risk of scarring or skin damage.
  • Versatility: The PicoWay® laser is effective on a wide range of tattoo colors, including stubborn and hard-to-remove pigments.
