Tattoo Removal

PicoSure tattoo removal uses ultra-short pulses of laser energy to help break down tattoo ink in the skin.

PicoSure uses picosecond technology to deliver laser energy in extremely short pulses, shattering the ink particles in the tattoo into tiny, easily eliminated fragments by the body's natural processes.

PicoSure can be used across a range of skin types, including darker skin tones. Suitability for your skin is confirmed at consultation.

The number of sessions required varies based on factors such as the size, colour and age of the tattoo, as well as the individual's skin type. This is discussed with you at consultation.

Most patients report minimal discomfort during PicoSure tattoo removal, likened to the snapping of a rubber band. A local anaesthetic or numbing cream may be applied to minimise any discomfort.

Temporary side effects are typically mild and may include redness, swelling, and pinpoint bleeding at the treatment site. These effects normally subside shortly after the session.

There is minimal downtime after PicoSure tattoo removal, with many patients being able to resume their normal activities immediately following the procedure.

Some fading of the tattoo may be noticeable after the first few sessions, and further sessions may be recommended depending on your response to treatment.

PicoSure is designed to target a range of tattoo ink colours, including green and blue, which can be harder to treat with other lasers.

PicoSure is suitable for a variety of tattoo types, including professionally applied tattoos, amateur tattoos, and previously treated tattoos. However, a consultation is required to assess specific tattoos and determine the most suitable treatment approach.
