Benefits Of PicoWay Laser Tattoo Removal

How This Process Works

Tattoo inks tend to be made of compounds from heavy metals such as lead, copper, and manganese. To remove a tattoo, lasers are needed to break up and dissemble the ink particles. The tattoo removal laser is extremely hot, operates in a very narrow frequency, and works on a scale of a trillionth of a second. The heat from the laser expands the ink particle, while the “zap” of the laser discharges quickly enough so that half of the particle remains cool. The opposing cool and hot forces rip the ink particle apart. This process, called photothermolysis, is also used in laser hair removal. Once the lasers break the ink particles apart, your body’s white blood cells can absorb and eliminate them. The laser heat is intense, but because it happens rapidly and is specifically directed toward the ink, the laser doesn’t burn skin tissue – the energy collapses into a shockwave instead. It may illicit a bit of a sting, but the effect usually only lasts just a few seconds. Soon, your tattoo will have completely disappeared.
