Tattoos can be a powerful form of self-expression, but not every tattoo you got in the past represents who you are today. Luckily, ink doesn’t have to be forever with PicoSure laser tattoo removal at Ageless Remedies SouthPark in Charlotte.
PicoSure is the only laser designed with PressureWave technology, which uses targeted laser energy to remove ink without damaging the surrounding skin. The rapid pulses break unwanted ink into tiny, dust-like particles that are then absorbed by your lymphatic system and naturally eliminated.
Though the duration of treatment depends on the size of your tattoo, most sessions are short and sweet—about 15 to 30 minutes. Even better, since PicoSure doesn’t burn or damage the surface of your skin, you can immediately apply makeup, moisturizers, and sunscreen after treatment.
If unwanted ink is affecting your self-confidence, PicoSure laser tattoo removal in Charlotte can help. Key benefits of this innovative treatment include:
PicoSure’s advanced technology can erase a range of tattoos, including:
Traditional lasers often fall short when treating multi-colored tattoos, particularly those with green and blue hues. But PicoSure was designed to target a broad range of ink colors, addressing even the most stubborn shades for clear, ink-free skin.
PicoSure’s advanced PressureWave technology breaks down black and gray ink more efficiently than traditional lasers. This results in faster, more noticeable improvements with fewer sessions—even on densely saturated tattoos.
If you’re planning a cover-up tattoo, PicoSure can fade your existing ink, giving your artist a cleaner canvas to work with. This makes it easier to create a sharp, eye-catching design.
Whether your tattoo is new or decades old, PicoSure can help. This innovative technology breaks down lingering traces of older ink and delivers impressive results on newer tattoos, helping you achieve smooth, clear skin.
PicoSure tattoo removal is a quick, non-surgical procedure with minimal downtime. Typically, treatment sessions take about 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the size and saturation of the tattoo.
Here’s what you can expect during and after the procedure:
Before receiving PicoSure laser tattoo removal treatment in Charlotte, you’ll meet with your provider for a one-on-one consultation. During this appointment, your provider will assess your skin type, tattoo condition, and health history to develop a personalized treatment plan.
This treatment plan will include the number of sessions needed. Most patients require about four to six sessions, each spaced six to eight weeks apart to give the body time to break down and eliminate the ink particles.
On the day of your treatment, your aesthetician will clean the treatment area. They may also apply a topical anesthetic to minimize discomfort.
They will then perform a patch test on a small section of your tattoo to see how your skin reacts to the laser. This helps confirm the best laser settings for your treatment.
During the treatment session, your practitioner will pass the PicoSure laser over your tattoo multiple times. As the laser energy is emitted, you may hear a slight cracking noise and feel a brief, stinging sensation—similar to the snap of a rubber band. Most people find this discomfort to be manageable.
The entire treatment typically takes between 15 and 30 minutes. Once the session is complete, your provider will apply a soothing ointment to help with irritation and promote healing.
Following your doctor’s aftercare instructions is essential for a smooth healing process.
Aftercare instructions typically include:
After your PicoSure session in Charlotte, you may experience mild swelling, redness, and discomfort. These side effects typically dissipate in one to three hours and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
Results from PicoSure tattoo removal vary depending on the size, location, and color of your tattoo. While some fading may be noticeable after the first session, the best results are typically achieved after a series of treatments.
The number of sessions depends on the tattoo’s size, color, age, location, and other factors. Typically, most people need four to six sessions to achieve optimal results.
The exact cost will vary depending on your treatment plan. During your consultation, your provider can offer an estimate based on your specific needs.
The duration of each session varies depending on the size and location of your tattoo. On average, sessions take about 15 to 30 minutes.
It takes about 14 days for the skin to fully recover after a tattoo removal session.
You may feel a brief, stinging sensation—similar to the snap of a rubber band—during PicoSure laser tattoo removal. This pain is generally well-tolerated by patients; however, a topical numbing agent can be applied to reduce discomfort.
Yes. While other lasers struggle to remove certain colors of inks, especially greens and blues, PicoSure can remove bright, colorful tattoos.
