At Blade & Shade, we offer the most advanced technology for tattoo removal. The picosecond laser is the ideal tool for removing or lightening tattoos.

The picosecond laser has the advantage of being more effective and faster than conventional methods, while simultaneously minimizing the risk of scarring or skin damage. However, it is important to note that results may vary depending on skin type, tattoo type, and size. An experienced laser therapist will adjust the process accordingly to achieve the best results.

Tattoo removal using picosecond laser is an advanced process for eliminating tattoos with the help of ultra-short laser pulses in the picosecond range. A picosecond is equivalent to one trillionth of a second. This means that the laser pulses are extremely short. This technology allows for a more precise and effective removal of tattoos compared to conventional Q-switched lasers.

The process begins with a careful analysis of the tattoo to determine the appropriate wavelength and energy settings for the laser. During the treatment, the picosecond laser is directed onto the skin, and the short laser pulses penetrate the skin without damaging the surrounding tissues.

The ultra-short pulses of the picosecond laser break down the color particles of the tattoo into smaller fragments. These fragments are naturally transported out of the body through the bloodstream or broken down by the immune system. Because the laser pulses are so short, less heat is generated, minimizing the risk of skin damage.

The entire process requires multiple sessions as tattoo colors respond differently to various wavelengths. The skin needs time to regenerate between sessions. After each session, there may be temporary redness, swelling, or crusting, which typically subsides within a few days.
