Before & After Photos

How Pico Laser Tattoo Removal Works

The pico laser emits pulses in picoseconds—trillionths of a second—which creates a photoacoustic (pressure wave) effect that shatters the ink. Older nanosecond lasers rely more on heat to break down pigment.  The tiny ink particles created by the pico laser are more easily absorbed and flushed out by the body's lymphatic system.  Pico can be effective on a wide range of ink colors, including stubborn blue, green, and yellow pigments that are difficult to treat with other lasers. 
Benefits:
  • Removes more colors than older systems
  • Targets ink precisely without damaging surrounding skin
  • Minimizes discomfort with less heat transfer
  • Speeds up healing so you can get back to your life faster

Tattoo Removal Chattanooga: What to Expect

Most clients describe the sensation of a pico laser session as similar to the feeling of a rubber band snapping against the skin. Ice and a cooling device are used to minimize discomfort.
Redness, swelling, and temporary darkening or lightening of the skin (hyperpigmentation and hypopigmentation) are possible but usually resolve over time.  Less common effects are blistering, crusting, and pinpoint bleeding. Proper aftercare is crucial to prevent any infection and/or scarring.
  • Ice and use a cooling device are used prior to treatment to increase comfort.
  • The Pico Laser is passed over the tattoo, targeting ink pigments with precision bursts.
  • Sessions usually last 15–30 minutes depending on tattoo size.

We apply antibiotic ointment and a protective dressing. Redness or swelling is common and typically resolves within a day. Avoid direct sun exposure and follow our aftercare instructions for the best results.
