Tattoo removal with picosecond laser in Frankfurt

Various types of lasers are used for tattoo removal. The breakthrough to picosecond technology has been achieved through constant further development and research in the laser industry. Picosecond lasers, as the name suggests, work in picoseconds. This means that much shorter energy pulses are emitted than with other laser systems. Energy pulses in the 300 to 450 ps range produce faster and more effective results as the color pigments are broken down into much smaller parts.

The effectiveness of the treatment depends on many factors such as the colour, age, position, depth, size and type of tattoo.

Due to the more effective removal of the tattoo and the shorter treatment intervals, due to the rapid regeneration of the skin, one can assume that the previous treatment time that would have been required with a "standard laser" has been halved. For all tattoo removals, however, several treatments are always required for an optimal result. On average, 8-10 treatments may be necessary.

The cost of treatment depends on the area, size and condition of the tattoo.

How often a treatment has to be repeated in order to achieve the corresponding result (complete removal or a cover-up) is very individual, arrange a free consultation appointment for more detailed information.

This groundbreaking picosecond technology shatters the tattoo into tiny particles in a trillionth of a second, which can then be eliminated by the body's natural processes.

The color pigments are destroyed by a photoacoustic reaction. These pulses are so short that hardly any heat is generated. The treatment is therefore much less painful and side effects are minimized.

The sensitivity to pain varies for each person and depends on the type and location of the tattoo on the body.

What can you expect and what precautions should be taken throughout the treatment?

A cold compress may be applied immediately after treatment to soothe the treated area. In some cases, an antibiotic ointment may be prescribed. In the first few days, care must be taken to ensure that there is no friction on the treated area and no peelings may be used.

The PicoWay laser only targets pigment, in this case tattooed areas, so the surrounding skin is not damaged during the treatment. In addition, much less heat is generated than with conventional lasers, since the Picoway with its picoseconds mostly works with a photoacoustic effect and not with a thermal effect. This guarantees a safe treatment with fewer side effects. After the treatments, the skin may become discolored or there may be redness around the treatment site. A transient lightening of the skin may also be seen in some patients. However, this will usually normalize after a while.

Yes, the PicoWay is also effective for treating various pigment spots.
