Decades ago, it was nearly impossible to remove an unwanted tattoo. As technology has evolved, however, we have found ways to improve the process. Here is how PicoWay® makes laser tattoo removal in Pittsburgh easier than ever:
When you get a tattoo, ink is injected into a deeper layer of your skin—the dermis. PicoWay® delivers short, concentrated bursts of energy to the ink particles within the dermis without damaging the surrounding cells or the healthy skin above the ink.
Different colors of ink will respond best to different laser frequencies. In the past, shades of blue and black would fade away after traditional laser tattoo removal procedures, while reds and yellows would remain frustratingly visible. Fortunately, the PicoWay® laser uses dual frequencies to target different ink colors.
The PicoWay® procedure’s ultra-short pulses will deliver energy more precisely to the targeted ink particles while very little heat is transferred to the skin. This means that PicoWay® is safer and more effective for patients with dark skin tones.
Your body is unable to process the large ink particles in a tattoo, which is why the ink remains within your skin. A traditional laser treatment will break up the ink particles so that the body can carry them away, but it may leave particles that are still too large. The PicoWay® laser shatters the ink particles into tiny pieces, so your body can easily and naturally remove them from your skin.
