Laser Tattoo Removal

Picolazer technology is the industry-leading tool for tattoo removal and skin revitalization. This groundbreaking technology moves away from the former heat-focused tattoo removal methods. Instead of burning or melting your unwanted tattoo, Picolazer uses high-powered short pulses to offer a non-thermal alternative. This transforms your skin from the inside out, breaking down ink molecules to make it easier for your body to absorb.

Picosecond technology means the laser can enter and exit the skin extremely quickly, leading to rapid results. With our Picolazer treatment in Bakersfield, CA, you can enjoy fewer treatments and a shorter recovery time as you watch your tattoo disappear.

Tattoo removal using Picolazer technology is highly successful but may require multiple sessions before a tattoo is entirely removed.

A physician may or may not be able to remove your tattoo in one single session, depending on the color, size and age of your tattoo and your skin’s receptiveness to the treatment. Generally, black or dark tattoos are easier to remove than colored ones because of the laser beam light’s ability to break down the darker ink easier during removal.

There’s no guarantee that it will be completely gone by the end of your first session, but in most cases, tattoo lightening is evident. While some may notice an improvement after one session, others may require up to 10 sessions or more before the tattoo is invisible. The physician will discuss the way forward and the anticipated amount of sessions you’ll need during your initial consultation.

Some benefits of tattoo removal include:

• A quick procedure that’s mostly pain-free.
• No recovery period — get back in action immediately after a session.
• No more unwanted tattoos and skin left rejuvenated and clear.

You should not be left with any scars after removing a tattoo if done correctly. However, if you stop the removal sessions after insufficient treatments, you could still be left with light, faded ink instead of a completely removed tattoo. Here are a few tips to prevent scarring and scabbing after sessions:

• Minimize sun exposure to the treated area.
• Refrain from scratching it even if it itches but rather rub gently around the area to soothe any irritation.
• Avoid submerging the treated area in water for as long as instructed after the session.
• Don’t pull off any dry or flaky skin or scabs, as it will fall off and heal naturally.

The pain associated with tattoo removal is minimal. Some claim that it’s more uncomfortable than painful and compare it to stinging, jabbing or burning sensations. It only lasts as long as the laser is at work. It also depends on your personal pain threshold. You may have higher pain tolerance than the next who considers the laser removal distressing.

Although it comes down to each person’s ability to distinguish and handle the intensity of pain, it certainly is not as painful as getting a tattoo.
