What Is a
Laser Tattoo Removal?
Tattoo removal with the Candela PicoWay laser is a fast, effective, and non-invasive solution for fading and eliminating unwanted tattoos. Using advanced picosecond technology, the PicoWay laser delivers ultra-short pulses of energy to break down tattoo ink into tiny particles, which are naturally absorbed and removed by the body. This method targets all ink colors with minimal discomfort and downtime, offering quicker results compared to traditional lasers. Ideal for tattoos of all sizes and ages, PicoWay provides a safer, more efficient way to remove unwanted ink for clearer, smoother skin.

Target Treatment Areas
Laser tattoo removal can be performed on any area of the body that has a tattoo. Laser tattoo removal can be more difficult or require more treatments on certain areas of the body, such as the hands, feet, face, and neck. This is because these areas have a higher concentration of nerve endings and may be more sensitive to the laser. The most common treatment areas include:
Arms
Legs
Chest
Back
What to Expect
During a laser tattoo removal session, the laser emits energy that is attracted to the pigment in the tattoo ink. This energy heats the ink just enough to allow it to separate from the skin without causing burning or damage to the skin around it. We use various types of laser treatments for tattoo removal, including Fraxel, a non-invasive laser technology that can restore the appearance of glowing, healthy skin. Tattoos, by design, are meant to be permanent, so they require multiple laser sessions to completely remove, especially darker, bolder tattoos or colored tattoos
1
During the Procedure
Session times will depend on the size of the tattoo. Small tattoos should take anywhere from 5-20 minutes per session, while large tattoos can take up to 30 minutes per session.
Recovery
After your first treatment, the tattoo will be lightened slightly as the first layer of ink is removed from the skin. Slight redness and swelling are common directly after the procedure but should reduce within a few days.
2
After the Procedure
No downtime is required after a tattoo removal treatment, but it is important to discuss aftercare procedures with your physician to ensure the treated area heals properly. Patients can return for additional sessions every six to eight weeks to allow their skin to heal in between sessions.

Is Laser Tattoo Removal Right for Me?
If you are looking to remove one or more tattoos, laser removal is a reliable and minimally invasive solution. Tattoos that are heavily shaded, done on scar tissue, or are multicolored will be more difficult to remove, but significant fading can still be accomplished through laser removal. Laser tattoo removal might not be suitable for those who:
-
Are pregnant or breastfeeding
-
Have a history of abnormal scarring on the skin
-
Are currently sick
-
Had recent sun exposure or sunburns
