Lots of people who are looking to take out tattoos, both big and small, are curious about the tattoo removal process, how it works, and what kind of results they can expect. There are several tattoo removal procedures on the market today, all effective in their own way and to some degree, though many experienced dermatologists would definitely vote for some methods over others. Laser tattoo removal procedures are among the most efficient and most sought after methods among dermatologists and patients alike for tattoo removal. They are performed with greater ease and precision than other tattoo removal methods and are effective at removing even deep, dark ink pigments when multiple treatment sessions are performed.
The PicoSure® laser is among the most advanced modern lasers used in tattoo removal procedures throughout the country. But how do they stack up to other lasers, and what makes some dermatologists prefer them? PicoSure® results tend to be superior!
About PicoSure
The first thing to understand is that basically all tattoo laser removal works in essentially the same way. The laser is targeted at the ink of a tattoo and the emitted wavelengths break down the ink pigments into particles small enough to be efficiently absorbed by the body. Since tattoo ink molecules are too large for the body to absorb, they settle on the layers of skin unless they are properly broken down.
The PicoSure Difference
PicoSure® lasers use pressure waves to break down the ink with a laser that is measured in picoseconds (or 1 trillionth of a second, which is about 1,000 times faster than a nanosecond). Many of those who advocate the PicoSure® laser do so because they believe that because the laser of a PicoSure® fires so much faster than other lasers, it is able to break down the tattoo ink into even smaller particles. Smaller particles mean easier absorption and quicker disappearance. In fact, those who use PicoSure® lasers claim that they can take out tattoos in half the amount of sessions compared with other lasers.
Pressure & Heat
PicoSure® tattoo removal advocates will also say that the pressure wave energy used by PicoSure® lasers is better than the thermal energy of other lasers because thermal energy has a greater chance of damaging surrounding skin tissue. However, it’s important to note that PicoSure® users should be properly trained and well experienced because misuse of PicoSure® lasers can cause a lot of damage to the skin, even if they are overall less risky than other lasers.
PicoSure Focus is a laser that uses the power of light to reduce unwanted pigmentation in the skin. Dark spots are a common sign of aging, but no match for PicoSure’s pulsed energy. PicoSure Focus treatments can be customized to your specific skin concerns. There’s no downtime after a treatment session, and afterward, additional stores of collagen and elastin are produced for firmer, rejuvenated skin.
