Say Goodbye to Unwanted Ink with PicoLazer Tattoo Removal
Tired of living with a tattoo that no longer fits your style or story? At Pure Skin Aesthetics in Burnsville, MN, we’re proud to offer the most advanced and effective tattoo removal technology available – the Rohrer PicoLazer. This revolutionary laser system delivers faster results, fewer treatments, and minimal discomfort, helping you achieve clear, smooth skin again.
What Is PicoLazer Tattoo Removal?
PicoLazer uses ultra-short picosecond pulses of energy (that’s one trillionth of a second) to target ink particles beneath the skin. These pulses shatter the pigment into tiny fragments that your body naturally clears away through the lymphatic system.
Unlike traditional nanosecond lasers, PicoLazer works faster and more efficiently, meaning you’ll need fewer sessions and enjoy less downtime between treatments.
Why PicoLazer Is the Best for Tattoo Removal
- Faster Results: Picolazer’s advanced technology breaks ink down into finer particles than older laser systems, allowing for faster fading and fewer treatments overall.
- Safe for All Skin Types: The Rohrer PicoLazer offers multiple wavelengths, making it safe and effective for all skin tones and all ink colors, even those stubborn blues, greens, and reds.
- Minimal Downtime: Most clients experience only mild redness or swelling for a short period after treatment. You can return to your normal routine almost immediately.
- Less Painful Than Traditional Laser Removal: Because PicoLazer delivers energy in ultra-short bursts, heat buildup is minimized- resulting in a more comfortable experience and reduced risk of skin damage.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
The number of sessions depends on factors like ink color, depth, tattoo age, and skin type. On average, most clients need between 4-8 sessions spaced about 6-8 weeks apart for optimal results.
During your consultation at Pure Skin Aesthetics, our licensed professionals will assess your tattoo and customize a treatment plan designed for safe, effective, and complete removal.
What to Expect During Your Treatment
- Consultation: We’ll evaluate your tattoo and discuss your goals.
- Treatment: The PicoLazer device targets ink with precision energy pulses, lasting just a few minutes per session.
- Aftercare: You’ll receive personalized aftercare instructions to promote healing and protect your skin.
Our goal is to make every step of your tattoo removal journey comfortable, informed, and empowering.
