Do you have a tattoo that no longer fits your lifestyle or preferences?
Whether it’s an outdated design, a name you’d rather forget, or simply a change in personal style, you’re not alone. A Pew Research Center study shows that nearly one in four people with tattoos experience regret at some point. Fortunately, advanced laser technology makes it possible to remove unwanted ink safely.
At Miami Skin & Vein in Coral Gables, FL, Dr. Shaun Patel offers state-of-the-art tattoo removal using the PicoWay® laser – one of the most sophisticated devices for breaking down ink particles with minimal discomfort and downtime. Dr. Patel is a recognized expert in laser aesthetics and a Key Opinion Leader for Candela®, the company behind the PicoWay system.
How Does PicoWay Laser Tattoo Removal Work?
PicoWay is a cutting-edge picosecond laser that delivers ultra-short energy pulses to the skin.
Traditional lasers use heat to break down tattoo pigment. However, the PicoWay device uses rapid pulses of energy to shatter ink particles into tiny fragments. This allows the body’s natural processes to clear away pigment while reducing the risk of scarring and skin damage.
Benefits of PicoWay Laser Tattoo Removal
People prefer PicoWay laser tattoo removal for several reasons, including the following:
- It produces faster results compared to traditional laser treatments
- It causes minimal discomfort
- It offers shorter recovery times
- It’s safe for all skin types, including darker skin tones
- It targets a wide range of tattoo colors, including stubborn blues and greens
How Long Does Tattoo Removal Take?
A PicoWay tattoo removal appointment generally takes 15 to 30 minutes. Removing a tattoo requires multiple sessions, as it takes time for the laser to break down and clear the ink.
The number of appointments needed depends on factors such as:
- Tattoo size and location
- Ink colors and depth
- Skin type and general health
- Age of the tattoo
During your consultation at Miami Skin & Vein, Dr. Patel will assess your tattoo and develop a personalized treatment plan. For optimal outcomes, most patients require 4-8 sessions spaced 6-8 weeks apart.
