Picosure Tattoo Removal in Ajax ON 

PicoSure works by using ultra-short pulses of energy to break up tattoo ink without harming the skin.

Here’s how it works:

​

1. Tattoo ink is embedded in your dermis. These ink particles are too large for your body to remove on its own.

2. The laser delivers picosecond bursts of energy. These pulses generate a photomechanical effect, not heat, that shatters ink into smaller fragments.

3. Your body’s immune system flushes out the debris. Once broken down, the ink particles are cleared through your lymphatic system over the weeks following each treatment.

4. Different wavelengths target different ink colours. PicoSure utilizes a 755nm wavelength, which is ideal for black, blue, and green ink. Additionally, a second 532nm handpiece may be used for red, yellow, and orange inks.

5. Because the energy is delivered so fast, there’s less risk of thermal damage, which means faster healing and fewer side effects.

Advantages of Picosure Laser

PicoSure offers multiple benefits over traditional laser treatments:

​

• Faster ink clearance – Most people require fewer sessions to see visible results.

• Safe for all skin types, including darker tones, which are often prone to laser complications.

• Less heat, more comfort – Reduced risk of burns or scarring due to minimal thermal effect.

• No downtime – Most people return to daily activities the same day.

• Versatile – Treats tattoos and other medical concerns, such as acne scars and skin revitalization.

Potential PicoSure Laser Side Effects

Side effects of PicoSure are generally mild and temporary:

​

• Redness and swelling – Usually fades within a few hours to days.

• Pinpoint bleeding – Common after intense sessions on deeper ink.

• Crusting or blistering – Occurs in some cases but heals with proper care.

• Skin sensitivity – Treated areas may feel tender or itchy.

• Hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation – Rare and more likely in darker skin types.

• Temporary darkening of ink – Some pigments may oxidize before breaking down.

PicoSure Treatment Aftercare

Follow these aftercare steps to protect your skin and speed up healing:

​

• Clean the area daily – Let clean water run over the wound, then gently pat it dry.

• Apply Aquaphor – Use 2-3 times daily to keep the skin moisturized.

• Cover with nonstick gauze – Especially during the first few days.

• Do not pick or scratch – Let scabs fall off naturally.

• Avoid direct sun exposure – Use SPF 30+ with zinc if exposed.

• Skip intense exercise for 2–7 days to prevent excessive sweating at the site.

• Avoid swimming and using hot tubs until the area has fully healed.
