At RevivEstetik, we use PicoWay for tattoo removal.

PicoWay is an advanced laser treatment designed for various skin issues, including tattoo removal, pigmented lesions, and skin rejuvenation. When it comes to tattoo removal, PicoWay is highly regarded due to its precision, reduced risk of side effects, and faster results compared to older laser technologies.

PicoWay is a picosecond laser, which means it emits ultra-short laser pulses in picoseconds (trillionths of a second). The technology uses extremely short bursts of energy that create a photoacoustic effect (rather than a photothermal effect) to shatter ink particles in tattoos into smaller fragments. This allows the body's immune system to clear these fragments more efficiently.

• Ultra-Short Pulse Duration: PicoWay delivers energy in picoseconds, which minimizes heat generation in the skin. This reduces the risk of burns or scarring.
• Multiple Wavelengths: PicoWay offers different wavelengths (532 nm, 730 nm, 1064 nm) to target a variety of tattoo ink colors, including black, blue, red, green, and yellow, which are traditionally harder to remove.
• Photoacoustic Effect: Instead of relying on heat, PicoWay uses pressure waves to break up tattoo ink, which reduces discomfort and minimizes skin damage.
• Less Downtime: The reduced heat generation means fewer side effects like redness, swelling, or blistering, resulting in faster recovery.

• All Ink Colors can be treated
• Fewer Treatment Sessions are needed
• Safer for All Skin Types
• Minimal Discomfort

• During the consultation, we will assess the tattoo, including its size, color, and age. The depth of the ink and the patient's skin tone will also be considered to determine how many sessions may be required.

• Each session typically lasts between 10 and 30 minutes, depending on the size and complexity of the tattoo.
• Most tattoos require multiple sessions for complete removal. Typically, a patient may need up to 10 treatments spaced about 6-12 weeks apart to allow the skin to heal and the body to clear the ink particles.

• After each session, patients may experience some redness, swelling, or tenderness in the treated area. These side effects usually subside within a few days.
• It's essential to keep the treated area clean, avoid sun exposure, and follow aftercare instructions provided by the practitioner.

• Results are typically seen gradually, as the body removes the ink particles over time. Darker colors, such as black and blue, will fade more quickly, while lighter colors may take more sessions to fully disappear.
• Older tattoos and amateur tattoos tend to fade more easily than newer, professionally done tattoos.
