Tattoo Removal in Waterloo & Kitchener

PicoSure® is a laser technology used for tattoo removal that utilizes short pulses of energy to break down tattoo ink particles into smaller fragments that can be eliminated by the body’s natural immune system. Unlike traditional laser tattoo removal, PicoSure® delivers energy in picoseconds, which is much faster than traditional lasers that use nanoseconds. This allows for more efficient and effective removal with fewer sessions required. PicoSure® is also effective for removing difficult ink colors, such as greens and blues, which can be resistant to traditional laser removal. The procedure is generally well-tolerated, with minimal discomfort and a low risk of scarring.

What Is Tattoo Removal?

PicoSure® tattoo removal is a type of laser treatment that uses a picosecond laser to remove unwanted tattoos from the skin. The PicoSure® laser emits ultra-short pulses of energy that specifically target the ink particles in the tattoo, breaking them down into smaller fragments. These tiny fragments are then eliminated by the body’s natural processes.

PicoSure® tattoo removal is considered to be more effective and faster than traditional laser tattoo removal methods because it delivers shorter pulses of energy, which can penetrate the skin more efficiently and target the ink particles more precisely. Additionally, PicoSure® tattoo removal can also treat a wider range of ink colors, including difficult-to-remove shades like green and blue.

How Does Tattoo Removal Work?

PicoSure® tattoo removal uses a picosecond laser to remove unwanted tattoos from the skin. The laser emits ultra-short pulses of energy that specifically target the ink particles in the tattoo. These pulses are so short that they create a photomechanical effect that shatters the ink into tiny fragments. The shattered ink particles are then absorbed by the body’s immune system and naturally eliminated over time. The picosecond pulses used in PicoSure® tattoo removal are shorter and more intense than those used in traditional laser tattoo removal, allowing for a more effective and efficient treatment.

PicoSure® tattoo removal is able to treat a wider range of ink colors than traditional lasers, including difficult-to-remove colors like green and blue. It also causes less damage to the surrounding skin, resulting in faster healing times and fewer side effects.

  • Have realistic expectations about the results of the treatment.
  • Have fair to medium skin tones (although PicoSure® is safe for all skin types).

FAQ's

Yes, PicoSure® tattoo removal is generally considered safe when performed by a licensed and experienced healthcare professional or aesthetician.
PicoSure® tattoo removal is generally less painful than traditional laser tattoo removal, thanks to the shorter pulses of energy and built-in cooling technology. However, some patients may still experience some discomfort during the treatment.
There is little to no downtime after PicoSure® tattoo removal treatment, and patients can resume their normal activities immediately after the procedure.
The number of PicoSure® tattoo removal treatments needed varies depending on several factors, including the size, color, and location of the tattoo, as well as the patient’s individual skin type and response to treatment. However, most patients require multiple sessions, spaced several weeks apart, to achieve optimal results.
The length of a PicoSure® tattoo removal treatment depends on the size and complexity of the tattoo being treated, but most sessions take only a few minutes to complete.
Patients may see some immediate lightening of their tattoo after a PicoSure® treatment, but it may take several weeks or months for the full results to become visible.
The results of PicoSure® tattoo removal can be long-lasting, but it is important to avoid exposing the treated area to the sun and to follow a healthy skin care regimen to help maintain the results.
Pre-care instructions:
  • Avoid direct sun exposure on the treatment area for at least 2 weeks prior to the treatment. This is because sun exposure can increase the risk of skin damage and reduce the effectiveness of the treatment.
  • Refrain from consuming alcohol, drugs or any other blood thinning medications before the treatment as it may lead to excessive bleeding during the procedure.
  • The treatment area must be shaved before the procedure. This will ensure that the laser targets the tattoo ink and not the hair on the skin.
  • Apply a moisturizing cream on the area being treated at least a week before the treatment. This will keep the skin hydrated and reduce the risk of skin damage.
  • Avoid using any harsh soaps, exfoliants, or scrubs on the treatment area as it may lead to skin irritation.
Post-care instructions:
  • Do not wet the treated area for at least 24 hours after the treatment. Avoid swimming, hot tubs or any other activity that may cause excessive sweating for a few days after the treatment.
  • Applying an ice pack on the treated area for 10-15 minutes every hour for the first few hours after the treatment can help reduce swelling and discomfort.
  • Avoid direct sun exposure on the treated area for at least 2 weeks after the treatment. Sun exposure may cause skin damage and increase the risk of scarring.
  • Keep the treated area clean and dry.

    I have done 2 Cutera IPL treatments at Sunshine Kitchener Waterloo Cosmetic Clinic and Medi Spa. My skin was much more even tone immediately after the treatments. Dr. Cathy Ding is so knowledgeable and professional. She will talk you through the process so you know exactly what to expect during the service and how to care for your skin afterwards. I am going to see Dr. Ding for my 3rd session next week and couldn't be more excited. I would 10/10 recommend this medical spa in a heartbeat.
