TATTOO REMOVAL IN AUSTIN

WHAT IS PICOWAY?

PicoWay is an advanced 4-in-1 laser technology that uses ultra-short picosecond pulses, lasting around one-trillionth of a second each. The PicoWay laser uses photo-acoustic energy to treat wrinkles, acne scars, dark spots, and break up unwanted pigmentation in the skin, including ink from tattoos.

As the newest picosecond laser technology, PicoWay® Syneron Candela (532 ,785 & 1064mm) is an FDA-approved leading, innovative pulsed laser is believed to be the safest, fastest and quickest method to fade out or completely remove tattoos. It transforms the skin and this is due to both its photo-acoustic function and the picosecond method, which distinguishes it from all the other pulsed lasers.

HOW DO TATTOO RMOVAL LASERS WORK?

Tattoos placed by both professionals and amateurs can be removed by our tattoo lasers. Tattoo lasers work by targeting colored pigment particles. The particles absorb laser light, which is converted into heat almost instantly. This heat destroys the particles, and they are eliminated through the skin and internally by your immune system. Immediately after your procedure, the treated tattoo can appear white, but it becomes pink and crusted over the next few days. As your skin heals, your tattoo fades.

TATTOO REMOVAL AUSTIN ALL COLORS AND TYPES

Traditional laser tattoo removal delivers a constant beam of energy to eliminate the pigment. It’s often difficult for patients to tolerate and requires many treatments over time. Because of the higher energy delivered by the PicoWay laser, these treatments are more effective in breaking up pigments, resulting in more effective treatments and fewer visits required for removal.

WHAT TO EXPECT TATTOO REMOVAL AUSTIN

PicoWay treatments last around 20 minutes each and are usually given every 4-6 weeks. The number of treatments we will recommend varies based on your condition and goals. The sensation of the laser feels like a small rubber band snapping the skin—while some patients do experience discomfort, the PicoWay laser is better tolerated by patients than other laser treatments. After your treatment, we will apply a calming cream to the skin.

BENEFITS OF PICOWAY TATTOO REMOVAL

It is a safe, effective treatment that requires only a few sessions, so it is more comfortable for the patient. It can be applied to all skin types. Due to its non-fractional modality, it can treat a wide range of discolorations and is highly effective in any tattoo type and color, even in recalcitrant tattoos!

PicoWay is completely safe because it generates less heat compared to traditional lasers, leaving the skin intact. Thus, it minimizes the risk of side effects and offers an effective treatment with little to no recovery time. PicoWay can achieve greater results in fewer treatments than any laser technology on the market, with more comfort and ease.

WHAT TO DO AFTER TATTOO REMOVAL

Immediately after the tattoo removal Austin session, a cold compress is applied to the treated area to calm the skin and a barrier spray is applied. Sometimes a topical antibiotic cream is also recommended. After the first treatment, your provider will advise you on how to take care of your skin, as it is very sensitive after laser therapy. In the first few days, you should avoid using a scrub and an abrasive cleanser on the treated area. A gentle cleanser and a cortisone cream are preferred. It is very important to protect the treated area from the sun as much as possible. In the next few days, the treated area gets darker and sloughs off revealing a more even skin.

RESULTS OF PICOWAY TATTOO REMOVAL AUSTIN

The number of sessions required for a visible improvement in your skin varies depending on your expectations and your skin condition. The end results depend on the site of the lesion, its depth, size, and the characteristics of the pigmentation. You may need to have several treatments for some type of lesions, while others can be eliminated in a single session. In general, for optimal results, a series of three treatments is recommended, performed a month apart. Your consultant and our Nurse Practitioner will take into consideration your history and skin condition and will recommend the number of sessions that best meet your needs.

WAYS TO REMOVE A TATTOO

If you have a tattoo that you want to remove, you’re likely looking into every tattoo removal method available. As tattoo removal experts, we’ve also looked into methods other than laser treatment so that we can provide our clients with the best possible advice.

Tattoo removal is achieved in one of two ways. The first way is when the body absorbs the ink and the second is that the ink is pushed or extracted up and out of the skin. All methods other than laser tattoo removal require breakage of the skin so that ink can be pushed out via natural, mechanical, or chemical processes. Lasers are the only method that can break down the ink without breaking the skin, allowing the body to absorb the ink naturally and pass it out of your system.

DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON NON-LASER TATTOO REMOVAL METHODS

The truth of the matter is, other than physical excision of the tattoo (which is expensive and leaves a scar), the only truly effective way of completely removing a tattoo is with a professional laser. Though home tattoo removal and non-laser tattoo removal may seem appealing, they are rarely effective.
