Tattoo Regrets
Whether it was a spontaneous visit to a tattoo shop on vacation, or a planned-out trip to your local ink studio, many people experience tattoo regrets. However, because the tattoo procedure involves injecting ink underneath the skin, getting rid of unwanted designs isn’t so easy. Thankfully, Aluna Vein Centers has a solution. Keep reading to learn about Picosecond.
What is Picosecond?
Laser picosecond tattoo removal is the most advanced way to completely remove tattoos from the skin, both quickly and efficiently. It uses ultra short pulses of laser energy directed at the tattoo to break up the ink into tiny dust-like particles, which are then eliminated from the body naturally. This causes the ink to become lighter and eventually disappear. The name comes from how the laser pulses are measured—in picoseconds (one-trillionth of a second).
When Will I See Results?
The answer to how soon you will see complete results depends on a number of factors, including:
- The size of the tattoo
- The type & color of the ink
- Where the tattoo is located on your body
Typically, tattoos can be completely removed in three to five treatment sessions. Expect a six to eight week period between each skin treatment. Keep in mind that every patient and every tattoo respond differently to laser tattoo removal. Only Dr. Massoudi will be able to determine your exact treatment times and how long you will need to wait in between sessions.
