Yes. The further the distance from the heart your tattoo appears, and the denser the ink, the longer it will take. Your ankle tattoo, for example, will take longer to remove than one on your chest. This is because there is better blood circulation closer to your heart.

Yes. Before you set out to begin a new tattoo, we can prepare the area for your tattooist. This can involve lightening the area where the old tattoo was for a coverup style tattoo.

No. That’s because PicoWay® lasers pulse at such an incredibly fast speed that they break down ink without actually affecting your tissue. There is simply not enough stagnant time to burn the skin. You might notice a little redness, some swelling, blistering or scabbing after treatment, but with the correct aftercare, there will be no scar.

Laser treatment seldom takes more than just a few minutes. However, this will hinge on the following: the size of the tattoo, intricacy of the design, and colour. At most, you will be in and out of the actual procedure within fifteen minutes.

Vivid colours will take longer. We will assess the ink colour on your individual tattoo, the amount of ink, and the location of your tattoo. Your therapist will then present you an idea of how many sessions you will need in your treatment plan. You might decide to fade for coverup or to go for a comprehensive removal. You can expect to be quoted between 5 to 12 sessions for your treatment plan, depending on your choice.
