What is Laser Tattoo Removal?

In the past, getting a tattoo was a permanent decision. Thanks to recent advances in laser technology, there is now a safe way to change your mind: laser tattoo removal using the PicoWay Laser.

PicoWay laser tattoo removal is a quick, effective treatment that can remove unwanted ink with fewer side effects than other methods. The laser uses picosecond pulses, which are shorter than the nanosecond pulses used in traditional lasers. This allows the us to target the ink more precisely, breaking it up into smaller particles that are then absorbed by the body. It's advanced technology removes all colors and removes tattoos on all skin types. Even previously hard to treat mid-spectrum colors such as light blues and greens are easily treatable with the PicoWay 730nm wavelength. As a result, PicoWay laser tattoo removal can be completed in fewer sessions, and with less risk of skin damage.

If you are considering tattoo removal, our Laser Tattoo Removal service featuring the PicoWay technology may be right for you.

What to Expect

While tattoos are permanent, there are certain circumstances where tattoo removal may be the best option.

For example, if you have an allergy to the ink or if the tattoo was applied improperly, you may experience adverse reactions that can only be corrected through removal. In addition, if your tattoo has faded significantly or if you simply regret getting it, tattoo removal may be the right choice for you.

If you are thinking about starting your removal process, there are a few things you should know. Here's what you can expect when you come in for a laser tattoo removal session at Unthink Inc.

Before

First, you'll need to consult with our expert technicians to discuss your goals and develop a treatment plan. Depending on the size, location, and color of your tattoo, this process may take multiple sessions.

Keep in mind that this process can be pricey and time-consuming, so it's important to be sure that you really want your tattoo gone before you commit.
During

During each session, the technician will target the tattoo with pulses of laser light. The light breaks up the ink Pigment particles, which are then absorbed by the body and eventually eliminated.

You may experience some discomfort during this process, but we will work with you to ensure that you are as comfortable as possible. We offer free Cryoanesthesia with our Zimmer 6 cold air blower.
After

After each treatment session, you'll need to protect the treated area from sun exposure and allow it to heal. As your body clears the ink pigment particles, you'll see your tattoo gradually fade away. Once it's gone, you'll be able to enjoy clear, beautiful skin.

Our Registered Nurse will advise and provide post care instructions including using provided Vitamin E ointment. We will also go over strategies to make your time between treatments optimal for your tattoo removal.

If you're ready to say goodbye to your unwanted ink, contact us today to schedule a consultation. We'll be happy to answer any questions you have and help you get started on your tattoo removal journey.

FAQ's About Laser Tattoo Removal

We understand that getting a tattoo removed is a big decision. We want you to be as comfortable as possible when you visit us here at Unthink Inc., so we've put together this helpful guide to answer any questions you may have.

Am I good candidate?

If you're considering tattoo removal, you may be wondering if you're a good candidate for the procedure. There are a few factors that will influence whether or not tattoo removal is right for you.

First, the location of the tattoo can impact the success of the removal. Tattoos on areas with more fatty tissue, such as the thighs or buttocks, are generally easier to remove than those on bony areas, such as the ankles or wrists.

Second, the size of the tattoo can also make a difference. Smaller tattoos are typically easier to remove than larger ones.

Finally, your skin type can also affect your candidacy for tattoo removal. People with lighter skin tend to have better results than those with darker skin.
How does the PicoWay Laser work?

The PicoWay Laser uses short pulses of energy to break up the ink particles in the tattoo. The body then clears these ink particles naturally over time.

To visualize the difference PicoWay can make, think of your tattoo removal as a rock that you’re trying to destroy. If we were to use a traditional tattoo removal laser that delivers pulses in nanoseconds, the rock would smash into pebbles, that would need to be smashed again and again until it turned to dust. This would take multiple treatments, and cause more pain due to the additional impact needed. With the PicoWay laser and it’s picosecond pulses, the rock turns to such tiny dust particles during each treatment.
How many treatments will I need?

The number of treatments needed varies from person to person and depends on factors such as the size and location of the tattoo, as well as the type of ink used. However, most people require 4-6 treatments for complete removal.
Who will be removing my tattoo?

Given its complexity, laser tattoo removal calls for specialized education, training, and expertise. At Unthink Inc., you are guaranteed a highly qualified laser expert performing all your sessions.

What are the side effects?

The most common side effect of laser tattoo removal is temporary redness and swelling at the treatment site. Other potential side effects include blistering, scabbing, and changes in skin color. These side effects typically resolve within a few weeks after treatment.
