Can PicoWay Remove All Colors of Tattoos? The Ultimate Guide to Picoway Tattoo Removal in Edmonton

Tattoos are a form of self-expression, but sometimes, that ink just doesn’t age well. Whether it’s a design that no longer resonates with you or one that you regret, the thought of tattoo removal can feel overwhelming. Fortunately, with advanced technology like the Candela PicoWay Tattoo Removal system, removing tattoos is safer, faster, and more effective than ever before. But can PicoWay remove all colors of tattoos? Let’s dive into this question and explore how the Picoway Tattoo Removal process works, and whether it’s the right choice for your tattoo removal needs in Edmonton.

What is Candela PicoWay Tattoo Removal?

The Candela PicoWay laser is a cutting-edge tattoo removal technology that has become the gold standard in the industry. Unlike traditional laser removal, which uses heat to break down ink particles, the PicoWay Tattoo Removal works by delivering ultra-short pulses of energy (in picoseconds) to break the ink into tiny particles. These particles are then naturally eliminated by the body. The beauty of the Picoway Tattoo Removal is its precision and ability to target various ink colors without harming the surrounding skin.

Can PicoWay Remove All Colors of Tattoos?

The short answer is yes! One of the biggest advantages of the Candela Tattoo Removal system is its ability to effectively target and remove a wide range of tattoo colors—something that many older laser systems struggle with.

While traditional tattoo removal lasers have a more limited spectrum, the PicoWay laser is specially designed to break down pigments of all kinds, from dark blacks to more challenging shades like blues, greens, and even some of the stubborn reds. This is because the PicoWay uses multiple wavelengths, each tailored to target specific colors:

  • 532 nm: Best for red, orange, and yellow pigments.
  • 785 nm: Targets blue, green, and black pigments.
  • 1064 nm: Effective for darker colors and some stubborn inks.

So, whether your tattoo is in vibrant shades of purple, bold black, or even pastel pinks, PicoWay can effectively break it down into smaller, easily digestible particles, making it one of the most versatile tattoo removal lasers on the market.

How does the PicoWay laser work on tattoos?

Wondering how PicoWay Tattoo Removal works in practice? The procedure begins with a consultation to assess your tattoo’s size, color, and age. At Bush Whacked Laser, our experienced technicians will determine the best treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. During the actual procedure, the Picoway Laser is applied to the tattoo area. It delivers a series of fast pulses that shatter the tattoo ink without causing significant damage to the surrounding skin.

While most clients experience minimal discomfort, many describe the feeling as similar to the snap of a rubber band. After each session, your body’s immune system works to clear away the shattered ink particles, gradually lightening the tattoo over a series of treatments. Depending on the size, color, and location of your tattoo, several sessions may be required for optimal results.

How many sessions for tattoo removal with PicoWay?

The number of sessions needed for successful tattoo removal depends on a variety of factors, including:

  • Tattoo size
  • Tattoo color(s)
  • Ink depth
  • Skin type
  • Location on the body

On average, most tattoos require between 4 to 10 sessions, spaced about 6 to 8 weeks apart. However, lighter tattoos or those with less saturated colors may require fewer sessions, while large, multi-colored tattoos may take a bit longer to fade completely.

How to Remove a Tattoo with PicoWay Laser: Step-by-step guide to PicoWay tattoo removal

If you’re considering PicoWay Tattoo Removal at Bush Whacked Laser in Edmonton, here’s what the process typically looks like:

  1. Consultation: Your journey begins with a detailed consultation to assess your tattoo and medical history. Our professionals will create a customized treatment plan based on your tattoo’s unique features. A test patch will then be done to make sure there are no adverse reactions.
  2. Preparation: The treatment area is cleaned, and an ice pack may be applied to protect your skin during the procedure. For those concerned about discomfort, a topical numbing cream can also be applied.
  3. Laser Treatment: The Candela PicoWay laser is applied to the tattoo, delivering rapid pulses of energy to break up the ink. The time that it takes the laser to treat a tattoo will be less than 5 minutes to 15 minutes depending on the size of tattoo.
  4. Post-Treatment Care: After the treatment, you may experience some mild redness or swelling, which should subside within a few hours. It’s essential to follow your technician’s aftercare instructions for optimal results.
  5. Healing & Fading: Over the next few weeks, your body will naturally work to eliminate the shattered ink particles. With each session, your tattoo will gradually fade, with full results typically visible after several treatments.
