Laser Tattoo Removal (3-Pack) – Size: 3.5" x 8.5"

When you come in for a PicoSure laser tattoo removal service at Total Wrapture, here’s what you can expect from beginning to end:

1. Consultation: Your appointment will begin with a consultation with an expert laser technician. They will assess your tattoo, discuss your goals, and provide you with information about the treatment process, including the number of sessions needed, prices, and potential outcomes.

2. Preparation: Before the actual treatment, your laser technician will prepare the treatment area by cleansing your skin.

3. Treatment session: During the treatment, you will be positioned comfortably, and the PicoSure laser will be used to target the tattooed area. The laser emits short bursts of energy, which will be delivered to the skin using a handheld device. You may feel sensations such as a snapping or tingling sensation on your skin, but discomfort is typically minimal and treatments only last for a few minutes.

4. Protective measures: To ensure safety, both you and your laser technician will wear protective eyewear throughout the procedure.

5. Post-treatment care: After the treatment, your laser technician will provide you with instructions on how to care for the treated area. You may experience temporary redness, swelling, or blistering in the treated area which subsides. Over time, as your body eliminates the tattoo ink, you will notice gradual lightening or complete removal of the tattoo.

6. Multiple sessions: Complete tattoo removal typically requires multiple treatment sessions, spaced several weeks apart. The exact number of sessions will depend on various factors, including the size, colour, and depth of the tattoo, as well as individual response to the treatment.

7. Gradual fading and results: Over time, you will begin to notice a gradual fading of the tattoo as the body naturally eliminates the fragmented ink particles. Results vary depending on various factors, and it is important to have realistic expectations about the level of fading that can be achieved.

8. Follow-up appointments: Your laser technician may schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress, assess the healing process, and determine if any additional treatments are necessary to achieve your desired results.

PicoSure laser tattoo removal works by utilizing advanced laser technology to target and break down tattoo ink particles in the skin. Here’s how the process typically works:

1. PicoSure laser emits ultra-short pulses: The PicoSure laser emits ultra-short pulses of energy, measured in picoseconds (trillionths of a second). These pulses are delivered to the tattooed area with precision.

2. Rapid energy delivery shatters ink particles: The rapid and intense energy delivery of the PicoSure laser causes the tattoo ink particles to shatter into tiny fragments. This process is known as photomechanical or photodisruption.

3. Your body’s natural processes eliminate ink fragments: Once the ink particles are shattered, the body’s immune system recognizes them as foreign substances and begins the process of elimination. The lymphatic system gradually flushes out the fragmented ink particles from the body over time.

4. Multiple sessions for complete removal: Tattoo removal with PicoSure usually requires multiple treatment sessions spaced several weeks apart. The number of sessions needed depends on factors such as the size, colour, and depth of the tattoo, as well as individual factors.

5. Gradual fading and improvement: Over the course of the treatment sessions, the tattoo gradually fades as the body eliminates the fragmented ink particles. With each session, the tattoo becomes lighter and less noticeable, eventually leading to significant fading or complete removal.
