Unlike traditional lasers, the Picolaser operates at speeds measured in picoseconds (trillionths of a second), allowing it to target the ink with high precision without the thermal damage associated with slower devices. This advanced technology is particularly effective on stubborn colors and intricate designs, can reduce the number of sessions required and promote faster healing. Patients typically experience quicker recovery times, making it a superior choice for tattoo removal.
The journey begins with a thorough consultation where Dr. Diwan evaluates the specifics of your tattoo, including its size, location and color saturation. Understanding these factors allows us to develop a tailored treatment plan that addresses your specific needs while ensuring the highest safety standards.
To ensure maximum comfort, we offer a local anesthetic injection of the tattoo before the treatment. You’ll wear protective eyeshields during the laser tattoo removal session. After anesthetic injection patients typically do not feel any discomfort.
Immediately after the treatment, we apply an ointment and bandage to soothe and protect the skin. Swelling and redness are common but typically subside within a few days. We provide detailed instructions, including how to care for the treated area, signs of infection to watch for, and tips for aiding the healing process.
Laser tattoo removal is a gradual process in which each session breaks down more ink. The number of treatments varies. Treatments are generally spaced six to eight weeks apart to allow the body to remove the ink particles and heal adequately between sessions. Following this schedule maximizes the effectiveness of the removal process and reduces the risk of skin irritation or damage.
