At some point, you may have wanted a tattoo, but later regretted your decision. If this sounds familiar, laser removal may be the solution for you. At SL Aesthetic Clinic, we utilise Pico Laser technology for effective tattoo removal. Read on to learn more about the concerns this treatment can address.
Since the tattoo pigment is injected into the lower layers of the skin, it is sealed by a tough network of collagen fibres. Therefore, it is not easy to remove the tattoo pigment without impacting the surrounding tissue.
Tattoo pigments, including yellow, fluorescent inks and green are more difficult to treat when compared to the ones, which are dark blue and black in colour. It is a challenge to treat these pigments, as they have absorption spectra that fall on the edge of the emission spectra available in the tattoo removal laser.
Pico Laser is highly versatile, capable of addressing tattoo removal and a range of pigmentation concerns, including:
The Pico Laser’s technology allows it to effectively treat a wide range of colours, including brighter pigments like red, orange, and yellow, which are typically more difficult to address. Multiple sessions are often needed to achieve optimal results.
Our pico laser tattoo removal treatment ranges from $199 to $700 per session, depending on the size and location of your tattoo. Please refer to our price list for more details.
Pico Laser is a non-invasive treatment that uses short pulses of high-intensity light, which is highly effective for tattoo removal. Pico Laser can also help to address skin concerns like pigmentation, acne scars, and enlarged pores.
Yes, SL Aesthetic Clinic’s Pico Laser is a safe treatment for tattoos and unwanted pigmentation.
With Pico Laser treatment, you can expect:
Pico Laser works by delivering short pulses of high energy directly into tattoo pigments or skin pigmentation. These pulses target tattoo ink or pigmentation in the skin, creating a photoacoustic effect, and fragmenting the particles into smaller sizes for easy removal by the body’s natural processes.
Most patients require a minimum of 3 sessions, though the exact number may vary depending on the pigmentation type, depth, and individual response to the treatment.
Side effects are minimal and well-tolerated, but as with any procedure and treatment, these can vary by the individual.
The treatment session itself takes approximately 15 minutes to 30 minutes after the initial consultation. If numbing cream is required, an additional 30 minutes may be needed. Alternatively, you can schedule a separate appointment for the procedure.
Pico Laser results can last up to several months, depending on individual factors such as skin type, lifestyle, and the specific condition being treated.
Most patients find Pico Laser treatments to be highly tolerable. Unlike many traditional lasers, which rely on prolonged heat generation to target pigments, Pico Lasers produce significantly less heat, resulting in reduced skin irritation, minimal downtime, and less discomfort.
Patients often describe the sensation as similar to tiny rubber bands snapping on the skin or mild warm pricks. For individuals with a lower pain threshold, numbing cream can be applied before the procedure to ensure maximum comfort.
You may experience some redness after the procedure, but this should resolve within a few hours. Apart from minimising sun exposure, most patients return to their daily activities as normal. Downtime can vary based on individual circumstances and the treatment area.
