h2>Which tattoos respond best to PICO Laser Tattoo Removal?
Pico Laser Tattoo Removal can be used on a wide range of tattoo types. This includes decorative tattoos, whether professional or amateur, single-colour or multi-colour. They can be either lightened for a cover-up or progressively removed. It’s also recommended for unwanted cosmetic tattoos such as brows, eyeliner and lip colour as well as traumatic tattoos caused by embedded debris following an injury. In addition, it can target small surgical tattoos used as alignment markers during radiotherapy.
Ideal candidates for PICO Laser treatments
Just like any laser-based treatment, Pico Laser Tattoo Removal may not be advised for everyone. Good candidates are typically in overall good health, understand the gradual nature of tattoo fading and have realistic expectations about the process.
You may not be an ideal candidate if you:
• Are pregnant or breastfeeding
• Have active skin concerns such as acne, infections or significant skin laxity in the treatment area
• Have recently tanned, whether through sun exposure or tanning beds
• Have a history of keloid scarring
During your consultation, your clinician will assess these considerations to determine if PICO Laser Tattoo Removal is a safe and appropriate option for you.
How many tattoo removal treatments will you need?
As a general guide, professional tattoos often require six to eight treatments, while cosmetic tattoos tend to respond more quickly and may need fewer sessions. Your clinician will provide a personalised treatment plan based on your tattoo and skin type.
Treatments are usually scheduled every eight to 12 weeks to allow your lymphatic system time to break down and eliminate ink particles between sessions. If your tattoo is new, we recommend waiting at least 12 weeks after application to allow the ink to fully settle before beginning removal.
Your clinician will provide detailed before and aftercare instructions, which should be followed closely to support proper healing and reduce the risk of complications.

FAQs
Does tattoo removal hurt? What does it feel like?
Sensations experienced during Pico Laser Tattoo Removal vary between individuals and treatment areas. Most clients describe the feeling as similar to a quick snapping sensation against the skin. While some discomfort may be expected, treatments are generally well tolerated. Cooling measures and comfort techniques may be used to help minimise sensitivity during the session.
How should I prepare before my tattoo-removal session?
Your clinician will provide thorough before-care instructions, but in general, you may be asked to:
•Steer clear of tanning and sun exposure in the weeks leading up to treatment. Sunburnt or recently tanned skin can be more reactive to laser energy, increasing the risk of irritation or unwanted skin responses. If sun exposure cannot be avoided, protect the area with broad-spectrum sunscreen and physical coverage where possible.
• Shave the treatment area if necessary, ideally one to two days before your session, to allow the laser to target the tattoo pigment effectively.
• Keep the area clean, avoiding harsh exfoliation or abrasive treatments prior to your appointment.
• Discontinue the use of active skincare products as advised by your clinician, including products that may increase skin sensitivity.
What aftercare is required after tattoo removal?
General aftercare recommendations may include:
• Applying a cool compress for short intervals to help reduce heat, redness or swelling. Ice should not be applied directly to the skin.
• Avoiding strenuous physical activity for the first 24 to 48 hours.
• Strictly avoiding sun exposure during the early healing phase. Once the skin has recovered, broad-spectrum SPF 50 sunscreen should be applied to the area.
•Avoiding soaking the area for the first 24 to 48 hours. Baths, spas, saunas and swimming should be avoided, while brief, lukewarm showers are generally acceptable.
•Protecting the treated area from friction, particularly during the initial healing phase. If a dressing is applied, it should be removed as advised to allow the skin to recover naturally.
• Expect temporary redness or sensitivity, which is a normal response and typically settles within a short period. A light, non-irritating soothing product may be recommended to support skin recovery.
