Safe, Effective permanent makeup Removal with Pico Laser Technology
If you’ve outgrown your tattoo or want to lighten permanent makeup, our Pico Laser Permanent Makeup Removal at Dollface offers one of the most advanced, precise, and skin-safe solutions available today. Using cutting-edge picosecond laser technology, this treatment targets unwanted ink with ultra-fast bursts of energy that break pigment into tiny particles, allowing your body to naturally flush them away over time.
This method is highly effective on a wide range of ink colors, including stubborn shades like blue and green, and it can be safely used on most skin types. Because of its speed and precision, the Pico laser delivers excellent results with significantly less redness, swelling, and downtime than older laser systems.
How Pico Laser Tattoo Removal Works
Tattoo ink sits deep within the skin, making it difficult to remove without affecting surrounding tissue. The Pico laser uses concentrated light energy that’s delivered in trillionths of a second to shatter pigment particles into microscopic fragments.
Because these pulses are so fast, they create a photoacoustic effect rather than a thermal one. This means there’s minimal heat or damage to surrounding skin.
Over the weeks following your session, the body’s natural lymphatic system gradually removes the broken-down ink particles, lightening the tattoo with each treatment.Over time, the tattoo fades significantly or disappears completely, depending on ink density, color, and placement.
Why Tattoo Placement Matters for Removal
Tattoo placement plays a significant role in removal success and timeline. Tattoos located closer to the heart, such as those on the chest or upper arms, typically respond better to laser treatment because of superior blood circulation. Areas with strong blood flow help the body’s lymphatic system efficiently flush out fragmented ink particles after each session.
In contrast, tattoos on the hands, feet, and lower legs often require more sessions due to reduced circulation in these extremities. Additionally, areas with thinner skin or more sun exposure may present unique challenges.
Understanding how your tattoo’s location affects the removal process helps set realistic expectations for your treatment journey and allows your technician to create a customized plan for optimal results.
Why Pico Laser Outperforms Traditional Removal
The Pico laser’s ultra-short pulses allow for a more comfortable treatment experience and faster healing; meaning you can return to your regular activities quickly after each session.
What to Expect During Your Appointment
- Consultation: Your technician evaluates the tattoo’s color, size, and location to determine the best treatment plan and estimate the number of sessions needed.
- Preparation: The area is cleansed and cooled before the laser is applied. Numbing cream can be used for added comfort.
- Laser Treatment: The Pico laser emits ultra-short pulses that precisely target pigment without damaging surrounding skin.
- Aftercare: A soothing ointment is applied, and your technician will review post-treatment care instructions to promote healing.
The treatment typically lasts between 15 and 45 minutes, depending on tattoo size and complexity.
Tattoo Removal vs. Permanent Makeup Removal
While both use laser technology, the technique varies slightly:
At Dollface, our technicians are trained in both, ensuring safe removal even in delicate areas like eyebrows or eyeliner.
If you’re looking to remove faded permanent makeup, and wish to have your brows refreshed, microblading or ombre powder brows will help you acheive natural-looking brows.
