Laser tattoo removal using PicoWay Laser technology fades unwanted tattoos based on size, ink color, depth, and location. A consultation is required for a custom plan. The service does not apply to permanent cosmetics. The procedure feels like a hot rubber band snap, but goes by quickly; topical numbing is available. Expect downtime like redness or blistering. Proper aftercare is vital, and microneedling may be suggested between sessions. Treatments are spaced to allow skin healing.

Permanent makeup removal

Laser removal is a highly effective, non-invasive treatment designed to fade or remove unwanted permanent makeup, including microbladed eyebrows, eyeliner, and lip blush. The treatment uses ultra-fast pulses of light to break down pigment particles beneath the skin. Over time, the body naturally flushes these particles out through the lymphatic system, helping the pigment gradually fade. A consultation is required to assess the area, pigment depth, color, and skin type before creating the right treatment plan. The number of sessions needed may vary depending on the individual and the type of permanent makeup being treated.

Microneedling for Tattoo Removal

Microneedling can be used alongside laser tattoo removal to support healthier skin, improve texture, and help speed up the ink-clearing process. When used between laser sessions, it may help promote better healing, reduce the appearance of scarring, and support improved laser penetration. This treatment works by creating controlled micro-channels in the skin, which stimulates collagen and elastin production. These natural healing responses can help restore the skin’s appearance during and after the tattoo removal process. Microneedling may also be recommended after the ink has faded or cleared to help improve the skin’s overall texture and restore a smoother, healthier look. A consultation is required to determine the right treatment plan based on the area being treated, tattoo size, skin condition, and removal goals. Treatments are typically scheduled after a laser tattoo removal session to allow proper healing.

Laser Tattoo Removal Overview

Laser tattoo removal is a medical process designed to break down the pigments in tattoo ink so they can be removed from the skin. Tattoos are created by inserting ink into the dermis, the second layer of skin beneath the epidermis. This ink can vary in color, density, and composition, impacting the method and effectiveness of removal.

The PicoSure Laser at AZ Laser Rx is particularly effective on stubborn ink colors like reds, blues, and greens and typically requires fewer treatment sessions compared to other lasers. Sessions are spaced apart depending on the size of the tattoo and the depth of the ink.

Patients often observe significant and permanent fading after each session. The number of treatment sessions necessary varies based on:

The complexity of the tattoo colors
The size of the tattoo
Following post-care instructions
Staying current on your scheduled treatments

Does Tattoo Removal Hurt?

Most patients describe the laser tattoo removal sensation during the procedure as similar to a hot rubber band snapping against the skin. Topical anesthesia may be utilized to alleviate some discomfort depending on tattoo size and colors, but the sensation relief is not guaranteed with topical numbing agents.

‍

How Many Sessions Will I Need?

The number of sessions varies depending on the shape, size, and color of the tattoo. With each session, patients will notice the tattoo fading even more. The PicoSure laser is the gold standard of tattoo removal with efficiency, accuracy, and fewer treatments necessary compared to other lasers.

Hair Removal & Grooming: Waxing and/or the use of chemical depilatories must be avoided in the treatment area before and after the treatment to avoid skin sensitivity. Shaving is allowed before treatment to remove surface hair in the areas to be treated.
