I use Picosecond laser.

Picosecond lasers are considered the most advanced technology for tattoo removal, offering unmatched speed, precision, and results. Here’s what makes them stand out:

Ultra-Short Pulses: Picosecond lasers deliver energy in trillionths of a second, breaking tattoo ink into tiny particles that your body can eliminate more easily. This leads to faster fading compared to traditional lasers.

Fewer Sessions Needed: Thanks to its advanced technology, a picosecond laser often requires fewer sessions to achieve optimal results, saving you both time and money.

Minimal Risk of Scarring: The ultra-short pulses generate less heat, reducing the chance of burns, scarring, or damage to surrounding skin.

Safe for All Skin Types: Picosecond lasers are effective across a wide range of skin tones, making them a versatile option for everyone including darker skins like Fitzpatrick 5.

Precision for Delicate Areas: Their high precision makes picosecond lasers perfect for sensitive areas like the eyebrows or lips, ensuring no hair/skin is damaged.

By choosing a picosecond laser, you’re selecting the safest, fastest, and most effective method for tattoo removal, giving you superior results with minimal downtime.

Picosecond laser is suitable and safe for all skin types including Fitzpatrick 5-6.

With darker skin tones and highly melanated skin, treatments must be performed at lower energy levels because higher melanin content also absorbs laser energy.

This reduces the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, hypopigmentation, or skin texture changes.

As a result, progress is more gradual, more sessions are typically required, longer wait times (12-16 weeks) and complete removal cannot always be guaranteed.

Temporary redness, warmth, or residual pigment tones may remain during the process.

Pregnant or breastfeeding clients, or those with active skin conditions in the treatment area.

Pain is subjective. Most patients experience minimal discomfort when being treated but it also depends on the area being treated.
Professional zimmer ice cooler machine is provided for the duration of the appointment for extra comfort.

Tattoo removal with Pico laser technology may be considered slightly painful depending on your own pain tolerance. Clients describe it has a rubber bands snapping on skin.

Yep, it sure can. Nicotine narrows the small blood vessels that normally bring oxygen and nutrients to the treated areas to help them heal. So there are less blood cells there to flush away the ink particles – slowing down the body's ability to aid the tattoo removal process.

Your overall health affects the tattoo removal results. A strong immune system can give you a stronger chance of removing your tattoo successfully. Boosting your body’s overall health can make a real difference to the speed and the end result.

1. Drink lots of water before & after removal

2. Exercise & stay active

3. Eat clean

After your very last removal session, it is best to wait atleast 8-10 weeks before redoing your eyebrows.

Its very hard to determine how many sessions you need in advanced just by looking at the brow tattoo | body tattoo.

These factors play a part in tattoo removal

• age of tattoo

• depth of tattoo

• size of tattoo

• ink quality/chemical makeup of ink

• location of tattoo (body)

• health/immune system

• your skin colour (darker skin types will take longer)

• Eyebrows: 2–7 sessions are typically needed for permanent cosmetic brow tattoos, depending on pigment type and how deep the ink was applied.

• Body Tattoos: 5–12 + sessions are often required for traditional body tattoos, with larger or darker tattoos potentially needing more treatments.

These are all approx and is never guaranteed or promised.
100% removal is not guaranteed especially for those who have scarring from the tattoo and your skin colour.

Body tattoo removals can take up to a year or longer for a safe and effective removal.

Patience is key

The healthier and more active you are, the better the results.

Yes it is safe for eyebrows.

Pico second laser will not damage hair follicles permanently. The pulse duration is too short for the laser to kill hair follicle.

The Picolaser has produces picosecond pulses of light energy.  This pulse may temporarily  remove hair or hair also may turn white, but the follicle will not be destroyed and will eventually grown another hair unless there is some other disease process going on that causes hair loss such as alopecia areata, thinning of the hair with age, a thyroid condition, genetics, hormones and other causes. 

Patience is key when it comes to effective laser tattoo removal.

Many clinics will tell you to come back every 4-6 weeks so they charge you more sessions, but we suggest every 8-12 weeks.

With darker skin tones its recommended 12-16 weeks wait time.

Your tattoo removal progress is determined by your metabolism. Laser can only break up the ink into smaller particle but it is essentially up to your body’s lymphatic systems ability to carry it away.

By your 4th treatment, we recommend waiting 4-6 months between treatment.

If you go every 4 weeks, you prolong the healing time, your body repairs the skin, inflammatory area before starting to eat the ink particles, making treatments less efficient and longer and more expensive than it should be.

The ink that’s been broken down will remain in the same place unless you give more time for your body to take care of it.

Going back every 4 weeks won’t allow your body to process enough of those ink particles. Your body will take more time healing than carry the ink away.

At each each session, we increase the power; going too frequently CAN increase the risks of hypopigmentation/hyperpigmentation/scarring/burns.

You may experience redness, swelling, or slight tenderness in the treated area, similar to a mild sunburn. These effects typically subside within a few days.

It is best to ice the area and keep out of heat.

Downtime is very minimal - to none. Avoid sun sxposure and heat.

When performed correctly by an experienced technician, the risk of scarring / hypo/ hyperpigmentation is minimal.

Patience and following proper aftercare instructions is crucial and key to reduce any complications.

Pico laser tattoo removal technology is designed to target pigment (ink) particles in the skin using ultra-short picosecond pulses that break the ink into tiny fragments. It is fundamentally different from laser hair removal systems.

Laser hair removal machines are designed to target melanin in the hair follicle, using longer pulses and heat to damage the follicle and reduce hair growth. Because hair removal lasers rely on heat and melanin absorption, they behave very differently in the skin and require different wavelengths, pulse durations, and safety protocols.

In summary, pico lasers target tattoo ink, while hair removal lasers target hair follicles. They are built for different purposes, operate differently, and are not interchangeable.

In some cases, a small amount of eyebrow hair may shed or temporarily turn white following pico laser tattoo removal. This occurs because the laser energy can affect the pigment within the hair shaft. This effect is usually temporary, and normal hair growth and color typically return over time as the hair cycle renews.

NO permanent hair damage.

No, you should not shave your eyebrows before pico laser tattoo removal.

• The laser targets pigment in the skin, not hair growth, so shaving is unnecessary.

• Hair can actually act as a small protective buffer for the skin, and removing it could slightly increase skin sensitivity.

• Any temporary whitening or shedding of hairs from the treatment is natural and will resolve on its own.

When removing old permanent makeup, it’s common for the brow color to change during the fading process. Its NOT from the laser but its from the ink that was used.

This happens because different pigment ingredients react differently to the laser:

• Red or Orange Brows: These tones often appear when brown pigments are breaking down. Many brow inks contain red or warm undertones that become more visible once darker pigments (like black or brown) fade first.

• Yellow Brows: This usually happens with older pigments or certain brands that contain titanium dioxide or iron oxides. As the laser breaks down other color components, the yellow base may temporarily remain.

• Grey or Ash Brows: Cool tones often appear when carbon-based or darker pigments are breaking down. It’s a normal stage as the ink fades out layer by layer.

These color shifts are temporary and part of the removal process. With additional laser sessions, the unwanted tones continue to fade until the pigment is fully removed.

If you recently got botox / filler done in the forehead region, it is best to wait at least 2-3 weeks before doing any laser treatments.

• Wait two weeks before laser removal: This gives the Botox time to settle and for the eyebrow shape to stabilize. Laser treatment on freshly injected Botox could potentially affect how the product works and lead to uneven results.

• If you get laser first: Wait two weeks after the laser session for the skin to heal before getting Botox. This prevents the heat from the laser from affecting the injectable. 

Frosting is the temporary white appearance on the skin immediately after a laser pulse during tattoo removal.

Why it happens:
The laser energy is absorbed by the pigment, causing rapid heating and formation of tiny gas bubbles in the skin. These bubbles scatter light, making the skin look white or “frosted.” It usually fades within 5–20 minutes.

Does frosting mean the treatment is effective?
Not necessarily. Frosting only shows that energy interacted with the skin/pigment, but it does not measure how much ink was actually broken down.

If frosting stops happening:
It often means there is less pigment left, the pigment is deeper, or particles are smaller, so fewer gas bubbles form. The laser can still be working even if frosting is minimal or absent.

• What is paradoxical darkening?

  • When pigment turns darker instead of fading after laser treatment

• Why does it happen?

  • Certain pigments (especially in lip blush) contain iron oxide or titanium dioxide

  • Laser energy can chemically change the pigment, turning it grey, blue, or black

• Is it common?

  • Yes — especially with permanent makeup (PMU) like lip blush

  • Less common with traditional body tattoos

• Why are lips high risk?

  • Lip pigments often contain light colors (pink, nude, beige)

  • These formulas are more likely to react and darken under laser

• When does it happen?

  • Usually after the first session

  • Can appear immediately or within a few days

• Is it permanent?

  • ❌ No, but it can be more difficult to remove

  • ✔️ The darkened pigment can usually be treated like a black tattoo over multiple sessions

• Can it be prevented?

  • Test spots are recommended before full treatment

  • Conservative settings and proper wavelength selection help reduce risk

• What happens if my lips darken?

  • This is a known and manageable reaction

  • After healing, the area can be treated again to gradually lighten the pigment

• Does this happen to everyone?

  • ❌ No — it depends on the type of pigment used
