What is Pico Laser Tattoo Removal?

Pico laser tattoo removal is a type of laser treatment used to remove tattoos. The "pico" in pico laser refers to the extremely short pulse duration of the laser light, which is measured in picoseconds. This short pulse duration allows the laser energy to target the tattoo ink with high precision, breaking it down into smaller particles that can be naturally cleared from the body. The treatment works by directing high-intensity laser light at the tattooed area, which is absorbed by the tattoo ink particles. The laser energy breaks down the ink into tiny particles, which are then eliminated by the body's immune system. Pico laser tattoo removal is typically considered to be a safe and effective method for removing tattoos, although the results can vary depending on several factors, such as the size, color, and age of the tattoo, as well as the patient's skin type and the depth of the ink.
