The Procedure
Frequently Asked Questions
How many sessions are needed for tattoo removal?
The number of sessions required varies based on several factors, including the size, color, and age of the tattoo, as well as the individual’s skin type. Generally, patients can expect to need between 3 to 10 sessions for complete removal. Each session is spaced several weeks apart to allow the skin to heal and the body to naturally eliminate the broken-down ink particles.
Is PicoWay® Laser painful?
Many patients report that the discomfort during treatment is minimal compared to traditional laser methods. The ultra-short pulses of the PicoWay® laser can feel like a slight snapping sensation on the skin. To enhance comfort, a topical anesthetic is often applied before the procedure. Some patients describe the sensation as similar to a rubber band snapping against the skin.
How long does each session take?
The duration of each session typically ranges from 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the size and location of the treatment area. For larger tattoos or extensive skin rejuvenation, the session may take longer. The efficiency of the PicoWay® technology allows for quicker treatments than older laser systems.
What should I expect during recovery?
After treatment, you may experience mild redness, swelling, or sensitivity in the treated area, similar to a sunburn. These effects usually subside within a few hours to a few days. It’s important to follow post-treatment care instructions, which may include keeping the area clean, applying soothing ointments, and avoiding sun exposure.
Are there any side effects?
While side effects are rare, they can include temporary redness, swelling, or slight changes in skin pigmentation. Some patients may experience blistering or scabbing, particularly after tattoo removal sessions. Following the aftercare guidelines can help minimize risks and ensure proper healing.
Can PicoWay® treat all skin types?
Yes, PicoWay® is designed to be effective on various skin types, including darker skin tones. However, a thorough consultation is necessary to determine the best treatment plan tailored to your specific skin type and condition.
How soon can I see results?
Results can often be noticed after the first session, especially for skin rejuvenation treatments, which may show improvements in skin texture and tone. For tattoo removal, it may take multiple sessions before significant fading occurs, with full results becoming apparent several weeks after the final treatment.
Is there any downtime?
Most patients experience minimal downtime with PicoWay® treatments. While some redness and swelling may occur, many individuals can resume their normal activities immediately after the procedure. However, it is advisable to avoid strenuous exercise, hot showers, and sun exposure for a few days to ensure optimal healing.
