Thinking of removing a tattoo? You’re not alone. What seemed like a great idea at the time can become a source of regret. But with advances in laser technology, getting a clean slate is now faster, more effective, and more comfortable than ever before.
Here at Pure Skin Aesthetics Clinic, located conveniently near Swindon in Wiltshire, we use the state-of-the-art Pico Pro laser, and we’re here to explain why it’s the gold standard for tattoo removal.
The Pico laser Difference: Speed and Precision 
Traditional tattoo removal lasers (Q-switched) use heat to break down tattoo ink. This process can be slow, painful, and often requires many sessions. The Pico Pro laser works differently. Instead of relying on heat, it uses ultra-short pulses of energy, measured in picoseconds (a trillionth of a second), to shatter the ink particles with a “photomechanical” effect.
 * Shattering, not heating: This technology breaks the ink into much smaller, dust-like particles that your body can then more easily and efficiently flush away. This reduces the risk of thermal damage to the surrounding skin.
 * Fewer sessions: Because the Pico Pro laser is so effective at fragmenting the ink, you’ll need significantly fewer sessions to achieve your desired results compared to older technology.
 * Faster results: Each session is typically quicker, and you’ll see a more noticeable fading after each treatment, making the journey to a tattoo-free future much shorter.
Tackling Stubborn Colours and Less Painful Treatments 
One of the biggest limitations of older lasers is their inability to effectively remove certain colours, particularly stubborn blues and greens. The Pico laser tattoo removal process is designed to tackle a full spectrum of colours, meaning even the most vibrant tattoos can be successfully removed.
And what about the pain? While no tattoo removal is completely painless, many clients describe the Pico Pro sensation as far more comfortable than older lasers. It’s often compared to a quick snap of a rubber band against the skin, rather than the more intense heat-based sensation of traditional methods.
