Through the unique magic of PicoWay laser Tattoo removal!
What Is PicoWay Laser Tattoo Removal?
The PicoWay laser system is an FDA-approved device that uses the picosecond laser beam to transform skin from the inside out. It treats benign lesions, acne scars, and wrinkles and removes multi-colored tattoos. With the ability to remove pigment, the PicoWay laser grew in popularity because of its adjustable wavelength that tailors to various skin types.
This laser works below the surface and leaves the outer layer of your skin intact. It creates tiny spaces in the dermis and encourages the production of elastin and collagen. With a specialty in a wide range of tattoo colors, the PicoWay laser requires a series of brief treatments to eliminate the entire tattoo. As such, the PicoWay is the laser of choice and the dermatologist’s most beloved tool.
Things to Consider Before Opting for the Picoway Laer Tattoo Removal Procedure
Before embarking on your permanent tattoo removal journey, it’s essential to understand the key factors that you should consider before opting for this procedure:
- Skin Type
People from different races and heritage have a variety of skin types that will react differently to the tattoo removal process. Some skin types are more agreeable to PicoWay laser removal than others. For instance, darker skin tones need time and multiple removal sessions. The greater the contrast between the skin and the tattoo, the higher the energy required to blast it out. Statistically, Caucasian skin is the most agreeable with the removal process as it is lighter, while other skin tones fall below it.
- Tattoo Location
The location of the tattoo is a significant factor. Remember, the head and neck have rich blood vessels and lymphatic channels that will drain better than most other body parts. The blood vessels help clear the tattoo vessels once the laser breaks down tattoo particles into smaller sizes. Thus, the head and neck require fewer laser sessions than tattoos on the hands, feet, and back.
- Tattoo Color
The appropriate matching of the laser wavelength determines the speed and accuracy of the tattoo removal process. As black pigments absorb laser energy the best, they are the fastest to remove. Red pigments are next in line, while multicolored tattoos will take much longer to remove.
- Amount of Pigment
The denser the tattoo, the more pigment, and the longer the time laser removal will take. The amount of pigment factors into the removal process as it affects the time and money spent. However, it’s been possible to hasten the removal process by fine-tuning protocols and stacking pulses.
- Layering
PicoWay restores faith in laser removal by making it safer than alternative treatment methods. Layering makes tattoos hard to clear. Although they will take longer, the laser will reach the pigment in the depths of the skin. It may mean going in for more brief sessions, but the tattoo will ultimately clear.
- Tissue Change or Scarring
Scarring happens during the tattooing process or due to previous removal attempts. It’s best to proceed with caution to prevent the worsening of the tattoo. The good news is that PicoWay laser removal manages scars that linger from both these processes while simultaneously correcting textural irregularities.
It’s essential to keep these factors in mind when planning a PicoWay laser removal process. Laser removal requires careful looking after of the site once the process is complete. Don’t rush recovery. Give it time, and you’ll enjoy a tattoo-free happy ever after!
