What Is Tattoo Removal?

Tattoo removal is a non-invasive laser treatment that targets tattoo ink beneath the skin. Using rapid pulses of pico-second laser energy, the ink particles are broken down into tiny fragments that your body naturally eliminates over time. This process allows tattoos to fade gradually with each session, while keeping surrounding skin safe.

The Pico Laser is especially effective for treating a wide range of tattoo colors, including stubborn pigments like blue and green, and typically requires fewer sessions compared to older laser technologies.

Discovery Pico Derm Laser

The Discovery Pico Derm laser is an advanced picosecond laser that delivers powerful, ultra-short pulses to target unwanted pigment, sun damage, and tattoos with precision. It stimulates collagen production for smoother, more even-toned skin—all with minimal downtime.

Types of Pigment Disorders

Consultation

Your visit begins with a detailed evaluation of your tattoo, skin type, and goals. Our dermatology team will explain the process, review expected results, and design a customized treatment plan just for you.

Treatment

Each session typically lasts 15–45 minutes, depending on the size, color, and age of the tattoo. The Pico Laser delivers precise energy pulses to break down ink particles while minimizing impact on surrounding skin.

Downtime

Most patients notice mild redness, swelling, or scabbing immediately after treatment, which usually resolves within a few days. Normal activities can typically be resumed right away.

Aftercare

Proper care is essential for healing. We recommend gentle cleansing, hydration, avoiding picking or scratching, and diligent sun protection to protect the skin and support the best possible results.
