Laser Tattoo Removal with Pico Laser
Fade or fully clear unwanted ink with our Pico Laser platform — ultra-short pulses that break down ink particles with less heat, less discomfort and faster clearance than older laser technology.
Our Pico Laser delivers energy in picosecond pulses — trillionths of a second, far shorter than older Q-switched lasers. That speed matters: instead of heating the skin, the ultra-short pulse creates a mechanical pressure wave that shatters ink particles into microscopic fragments, without spreading heat into the surrounding tissue. Smaller fragments are easier for your body to clear, which is why Pico technology typically needs fewer sessions than older tattoo removal lasers.
After each session, your body's lymphatic system gradually carries the broken-down ink away. You will usually see the treated tattoo lighten in stages over the following weeks as your immune system does the work — most patients notice the first visible fading within a few days, with the full result from each session building over 6 to 8 weeks.
Recovery is minimal. Immediately after treatment the skin may show light frosting, redness and slight swelling that settles within a few hours. Over the following days you may see mild scabbing or pinpoint marks as the skin renews — most patients are back to normal activities the same day, and multiple sessions (typically spaced 6 to 8 weeks apart) are used to progressively fade or fully clear the tattoo depending on its size, ink density and colors.
The difference is in the details
Fewer sessions
Picosecond pulses fragment ink more efficiently than older lasers, often clearing tattoos in fewer total treatments.
Less heat, less discomfort
Ultra-short pulses target ink without overheating surrounding skin, for a more comfortable treatment and lower risk of scarring.
Minimal downtime
Most patients return to normal activities the same day, with only mild redness or light scabbing as the skin renews.

Common questions
How does Pico Laser tattoo removal work?
The laser delivers energy in picosecond pulses — trillionths of a second — that shatter ink particles into microscopic fragments using a mechanical pressure wave rather than heat. Your body then clears those fragments naturally through the lymphatic system over the following weeks.
How many sessions will I need?
Most tattoos need a series of sessions spaced 6 to 8 weeks apart to allow your body to clear the fragmented ink between treatments. The exact number depends on the tattoo’s size, ink density, colors and how your skin responds.
Does it hurt?
Most patients describe it as a quick, rubber-band-like snap. Sessions are fast, and topical numbing can be used to keep you comfortable.
Is there any downtime?
Downtime is minimal. Expect light redness, swelling or frosting immediately after treatment, and possibly mild scabbing over the following days, but most patients resume normal activities the same day.
Can all colors be removed?
Pico Laser is effective on a broad range of ink colors, including many that are historically difficult to treat. Your provider will assess your tattoo’s specific colors and ink density at your consultation to set expectations.
How is pricing determined?
Tattoo removal is priced by size, from extra small to extra large. Your provider will confirm your tattoo’s size category and a full treatment plan at your complimentary consultation.
