A Guide to Laser Tattoo Removal

Richard M • January 28, 2023

Just like getting a tattoo, having a tattoo removed is an important decision. It matters who you choose to do the removal. Otherwise, some clinics use uncertified laser technicians who may not have any medical background at all.

At Unthink Inc, we use advanced laser technology to remove tattoos safely and effectively.


Understanding Tattoo Removal Technology


There are many ways to remove tattoos. However, one of the most effective is PicoWay laser tattoo removal. This modern technology has turned tattoos from a permanent decision to one that can be reversed if your circumstances or feelings change. The PicoWay process uses shorter pulses, known as picosecond pulses, to target tattoo ink and break it into very small particles that can then be absorbed by the body, removing the tattoo. Compared to the nanosecond pulses used in traditional lasers, picosecond pulses target the ink more effectively.


In the past, some tattoo removal methods had trouble with mid-spectrum colors such as light blues and greens, for instance, but these can be treated with PicoWay technology.


When looking at laser tattoo removal before and after photos, you can often spot the difference between high-quality work using modern technology and treatment methods that are older and less effective. Choosing the right technology matters. It also matters who you choose to do the work.


Focusing on What Matters


The ins and outs of laser tattoo removal machine technology can often be confusing for people. With so many lasers available and so many different possible techniques and technicians as options, some people focus on what seems to be the easiest difference to understand: the price.

However, in the words of Gabriel Biel, "You get what you pay for." In the vast majority of cases, the less you pay for something, the lower quality it will inevitably be. This is not a risk that you will want to take with something as important as tattoo removal.


There are many people who want to get tattoos removed because they chose the wrong artist to do the work in the first place and they don’t like how the tattoo looks. Don’t let this happen to you again by choosing an inexperienced tattoo removal professional who uses older technology. Unfortunately, when you choose the lowest price option, this is often what you get.


This technology is not only less effective at removing the tattoo, but it also tends to be more painful, requires more sessions, and increases the risk of skin damage. If you want the industry-leading medical laser specifically made for tattoo removal, then choose PicoWay.

Eyebrow tattoos have become an increasingly popular beauty trend, offering a semi-permanent solution for those seeking perfectly shaped and defined brows. However, not everyone ends up satisfied with their results. Whether it's due to a change in aesthetic preferences, an allergic reaction, or less-than-desirable outcomes, you might find yourself considering removal. At Unthink Inc. , we specialize in helping clients achieve the look they want through effective removal methods. Here’s a comprehensive guide on when to consider eyebrow tattoo removal with a combination of saline injections and laser treatment. Understanding Eyebrow Tattoos and Their Risks Before diving into when to consider removal, it's crucial to understand what eyebrow tattoos entail. Typically, these tattoos are a form of cosmetic tattooing, where pigment is implanted into the skin to create the appearance of fuller, darker eyebrows. While many are thrilled with the results, there are potential risks involved. The process can cause skin damage, infections, or allergic reactions, which in turn may lead you to reconsider your decision. Symptoms Indicating Removal Might Be Necessary 1. Faded or Uneven Pigment: Over time, the pigment used in eyebrow tattoos can fade or turn into an undesirable color, especially with exposure to sunlight. If your eyebrow tattoos have started to look uneven or have changed color, it might be an indication that removal is your best option for a fresh start. 2. Allergic Reactions: Unfortunately, not everyone’s skin reacts well to tattoo pigments. Allergic reactions can result in redness, itching, or swelling. If you experience these symptoms, removal could alleviate discomfort and help restore your skin to its natural state. 3. Discomfort or Scarring: The tattooing process can sometimes damage your skin, causing discomfort or scarring. If your eyebrow tattoos have left visible scars or if you have ongoing discomfort, removal can potentially improve the appearance of your skin, reducing both visible and physical distress. 4. Change in Aesthetic Preferences: Your style and preferences can evolve over time. What seemed like a perfect choice five years ago might no longer align with your current taste or beauty goals. If your eyebrow tattoos don't fit your desired look anymore, removal offers a safe and effective way to reclaim your natural brows. The Dual Approach: Saline Injections and Laser Tattoo Removal For those considering removal, Unthink Inc. offers a unique approach combining saline injections and the PicoWay laser treatment. This dual method is designed to deliver optimal results tailored to individual client needs. 1. Saline Injections for Lighter Pigments: In some cases, saline injections may be recommended to lift lighter pigments before proceeding with laser treatment. This helps to create a more uniform appearance and prepares the brows for effective laser removal. Our specialists, will work closely with you to coordinate the saline process, ensuring a smoother transition to laser treatments. 2. PicoWay Laser for Final Touches: Once the lighter pigments are addressed, the PicoWay laser is employed to remove the remaining darker elements of the unwanted brows. Known for its precision and safety, this state-of-the-art technology targets the tattoo pigment with minimal impact on the surrounding skin. Preparing for Your Removal Session Before undergoing treatment, a consultation with a qualified specialist at Unthink Inc. is vital. We’ll assess your tattoos and discuss your goals and expectations. Here are some tips to prepare for your session: - Avoid sun exposure at least two weeks before your appointment to reduce skin sensitivity. - Refrain from using topical creams or medications that can make your skin more sensitive. - Communicate any skin conditions or concerns with your technician. Recovery and Aftercare Post-treatment care is essential for optimal results. After your session, you may experience some redness or swelling around the treated area. To ensure a smooth recovery, follow these aftercare tips: - Avoid sun exposure and apply sunscreen as advised. - Keep the treated area clean and moisturized. - Refrain from picking at any scabs or flaky skin.
