Our Picoway Laser Tattoo Removal Service

Advanced tattoo removal with PicoWay is a state-of-the-art treatment designed to effectively and safely remove unwanted tattoos. Using advanced picosecond laser technology, PicoWay helps to break down tattoo ink into tiny particles, which are then naturally eliminated by the body. This innovative approach allows for faster results with minimal discomfort and fewer treatment sessions compared to traditional tattoo removal methods. Whether you're looking to completely remove a tattoo or fade it for a cover-up, PicoWay offers a precise and efficient solution tailored to your needs.

  • How does it work?

    Picoway laser tattoo removal utilizes intense, short pulses of light that penetrate the skin to break down the tattoo ink particles. The laser’s light energy is absorbed primarily by the ink, sparing the surrounding skin from damage. Once the ink particles are fragmented, the body's lymphatic system gradually flushes them out. Each session builds upon the last, progressively fading the tattoo until the desired result is achieved.

  • Who Is a Good Candidate?

    Laser tattoo removal is suitable for individuals who:

    • Wish to remove or significantly fade an old or unwanted tattoo.
    • Have tattoos with colors that are responsive to laser treatment (such as black, dark blue, and certain other colors).
    • Are in good overall health and do not suffer from skin conditions that might impede healing.
    • Have realistic expectations regarding the number of sessions needed for optimal results.

  • Important Things to Note

    Here's a list of things to note about PicoWay Laser Tattoo Removal:

    • Multiple sessions are typically required to achieve complete tattoo removal.
    • The number of sessions needed can vary based on the tattoo's size, color, and age, as well as individual skin type and response to treatment.
    • Some side effects, such as redness, swelling, or temporary changes in skin pigmentation, may occur but usually resolve on their own.
    • A consultation with our experienced team will provide a personalized treatment plan tailored to your tattoo and skin type.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions about Laser Tattoo Removal? Our FAQ section covers everything you need to know about the process, from what to expect during sessions to post-treatment care. Get informed and feel confident about your tattoo removal journey.

  • What can I expect during a Laser Tattoo Removal session?

    During a PicoWay laser tattoo removal session at Vanity Compound Medical Aesthetics, you'll be provided with protective eye gear to shield your eyes from the laser light. A cooling device may be used to minimize any discomfort you might feel during the treatment. Our skilled technician will then use the PicoWay laser to deliver short pulses of intense light to your skin, specifically targeting the tattoo ink. Each session typically lasts between 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the size, color, and complexity of the tattoo being removed. The procedure is designed to be quick and efficient, allowing for minimal disruption to your day.

  • Can Laser Tattoo Removal completely remove a tattoo? How many sessions would it need?

    While PicoWay laser tattoo removal is highly effective, complete removal of a tattoo is not guaranteed and can vary based on factors like the type and color of the ink, and the age of the tattoo. Some ink colors, such as green and yellow, are more challenging to remove than others like black and dark blue. However, the PicoWay technology is designed to maximize the likelihood of substantial tattoo clearance. The effectiveness can also depend on individual skin types and how well the body responds to the treatment.


    The number of sessions required for complete tattoo removal with the PicoWay laser can vary based on several factors, including the size, age, and color of the tattoo, as well as your skin type and how your body responds to the treatments. On average, most patients need between five to 10 sessions spaced several weeks apart for optimal results. Each session builds upon the previous one, progressively breaking down the tattoo ink until it is significantly faded or completely removed. During your initial consultation at Vanity Compound Medical Aesthetics, our experts will assess your specific situation and provide a tailored treatment plan.
