Tattoo Removal & Fading with PicoWay
Your Guide to a Fresh Start
Thinking about removing or fading an unwanted tattoo? With advanced PicoWay technology, the process is faster, safer, and more effective than ever. Here's what you need to know about achieving clear skin or creating the perfect canvas for a cover-up.
Why PicoWay Is Different
Traditional lasers use nanosecond pulses that heat the skin. PicoWay uses picosecond pulses—one trillionth of a second—to shatter ink particles without excessive heat. This means:
Far less discomfort
Faster ink clearance
Fewer total sessions
Safe for all skin types
Reduced risk of scarring
What Can PicoWay Remove?
Black Ink Tattoos – The easiest and fastest to treat, responding quickly to PicoWay's 1064 nm wavelength.
Multicolored Tattoos – Even stubborn colors like green, light blue, teal, purple, and red can be effectively removed thanks to PicoWay's multiple wavelengths (532 nm, 785 nm, and 1064 nm).
Previously Treated Tattoos – If older lasers didn't work, PicoWay's advanced technology can often succeed where others failed.
Removal vs. Fading
CHOOSE FULL REMOVAL WHEN:
You want the tattoo completely gone
You prefer clear, bare skin
CHOOSE LIGHTENING WHEN:
Your tattoo is too dark or dense for a cover-up
You want to expand creative possibilities for your artist
You want faster results with fewer sessions
How Many Sessions?
Most PicoWay clients achieve significant clearing in 4-10 sessions, compared to 10-20+ with older lasers. The exact number depends on:
Tattoo age and ink depth
Color complexity
Professional vs. amateur tattoo
Location on body
Your skin type
What to Expect
During Treatment:
Quick snapping sensation (like an elastic band)
Sessions often under 20 minutes
Optional topical numbing available
Temporary whitening effect (frosting) is normal
After Treatment:
Mild redness and slight swelling (subsides in 1-2 days)
Keep area clean and dry
Avoid sun exposure for 7-14 days
Most patients see fading after the first session
Safe for All Skin Types
PicoWay's photoacoustic technology makes it safe for Fitzpatrick skin types I-VI, with lower risk of hyperpigmentation or burns compared to heat-based lasers.
Why Choose Visage Skin Clinique?
Your treatment is supervised by a facial cosmetic surgeon, ensuring:
Safe, customized treatment protocols
Precision targeting of stubborn ink
Medical-grade care and monitoring
Better outcomes with minimized risk
