What is laser tattoo removal and how does it work?
Laser tattoo removal is a medical procedure that uses light energy to break down tattoo ink pigments embedded within the skin layers. Notably, the innovative laser technology known as Picosecond Laser, or PicoCare, represents a significant advancement in both the efficacy and safety of tattoo removal.
How PicoCare Laser Works
PicoCare Laser's Working Principle
The working principle of the PicoCare Laser involves delivering high-intensity light energy to the skin layers to shatter tattoo ink pigments into the smallest possible particles. This rapidly emitted energy creates a mechanical pressure (Photoacoustic Effect) that is highly effective in destroying ink pigments byDoes not cause heat accumulation in the surrounding tissues. Breaks down pigments much more finely, allowing the body to eliminate them more easily and quickly.
Highlights of PicoCare Laser for tattoo removal
The highlight of PicoCare Laser for tattoo removal
1. High Efficiency in Multi-Colored Tattoo Removal
With multiple wavelengths (1064 nm, 532 nm, 694 nm), the PicoCare laser can effectively target almost all ink colors, from black to hard-to-remove colors like red, green, and blue.
2. Reduces the Number of Treatment Sessions
PicoCare can break down tattoo pigments much more finely, allowing patients to require fewer sessions. Noticeable differences can be seen within the first few treatments, compared to older lasers that may require dozens of sessions to achieve satisfactory results.
3. Reduces the risk of scarring
With a mechanism that focuses on breaking down pigments using mechanical pressure rather than heat, the surrounding tissues are not damaged. The chance of scarring is therefore very low, and it alsohelps reduce issues such as blistering, burning, hypopigmentation, or scarring after tattoo removal.
4. Short recovery time
The downtime is very short. Swelling, redness, or small scabs typically resolve within approximately 5–7 days, and patients can resume their daily activities immediately after the treatment. It is only necessary to avoid sun exposure and scrubbing the treated area during the initial recovery period.
Research supporting the efficacy of PicoCare Laser
Research supporting the efficacy of PicoCare Laser
Based on the research “Prospective Comparison Study of 532/1064 nm Picosecond Laser vs 532/1064 nm Nanosecond Laser in the Treatment of Professional Tattoos in Asians” (PMC7447827), which is a comparative trial on the efficacy of each type of laser for tattoo removal, the findings are summarized as follows:
In terms of overall results
- Picosecond lasers (both 532 and 1064 nm) provide significantly better results in terms of tattoo fading compared to nanosecond lasers.
- Tattoo fading, particularly for black and dark blue ink (using the 1064 nm picosecond laser) and red, yellow, and green ink (using the 532 nm picosecond laser), demonstrates clearly superior results.
- Picosecond lasers help fade tattoos faster in fewer treatment sessions. They are suitable for Asian skin types looking to reduce the risk of PIH (Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation) and avoid frequent pain or repeated irritation.
- Number of treatments required to fade tattoos (average of 3 sessions) – Picosecond Laser: Shows faster results across all colors, reducing the number of sessions by 1–2 times. Meanwhile, Nanosecond Laser: Requires more repeated sessions to achieve similar results.
- Comparing side effects, Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH) is commonly found in the group using the 532 nm Nanosecond laser, whereas the Picosecond laser presents fewer side effects. Hypopigmentation is observed specifically in the 532 nm laser group. Paradoxical Darkening is found slightly across all groups at about 5% and typically occurs with special tattoo colors containing metal ingredients.
- No permanent scarring was found in any of the treated patients across all groups, indicating that both technologies are highly safe when used appropriately.
PicoCare Laser Tattoo Removal Process
1. Assessment and Treatment Planning
The doctor will thoroughly assess the tattoo, including its size, color, and depth, to determine the appropriate energy settings and wavelengths for the tattoo removal.
2. Cleansing and Anesthetic Application
Cleanse the skin in the treatment area. A topical anesthetic may be applied to reduce discomfort during the procedure.
3. Laser Treatment for Tattoo Removal
The doctor will begin applying the PicoCare laser to the tattoo. The laser emits energy to break down the pigment in the skin layers. During the laser treatment, cold air will be blown to help soothe the skin.
4. Aftercare for Tattoo Removal
After the laser treatment, the doctor will recommend proper skin care, such as applying creams or antibiotic ointments and avoiding sunlight.
