Benefits of Body Tattoo Removal with Discovery Pico

Effective on all ink colors, including difficult hues like green and blue
Requires fewer sessions compared to older laser technologies
Reduces the risk of scarring or discoloration

Specialized Brow Tattoo Removal

Brow tattoos present unique challenges due to their location on delicate facial skin and the need to preserve natural hair. Here’s what you need to know:

With the Discovery Pico laser, we can safely and precisely remove unwanted brow tattoos without harming surrounding tissue or hair follicles
This is achieved through the laser's ultra-short picosecond pulses, which deliver high-energy bursts of light that create a photoacoustic effect
This effect shatters the tattoo pigment into microscopic particles without generating excessive heat, protecting the surrounding skin and hair follicles from damage
The laser’s ability to target specific wavelengths ensures precision, allowing it to break down pigments commonly used in brow tattoos, including stubborn colors, while leaving the natural structures of the skin and hair intact

The Laser Tattoo Removal Process

Preparation

There is no need for special preparation before your session. Our team will evaluate your tattoo and skin type during your consultation to develop a personalized treatment plan.

During the Procedure

The Discovery Pico laser delivers powerful pulses of light energy to shatter ink particles into tiny fragments. Patients often describe the sensation as a mild snapping or tingling feeling. If needed, we can apply a topical anesthetic to enhance your comfort.

Recovery

After your treatment, you may notice redness, swelling, or a slight warm sensation in the treated area. These symptoms are temporary and typically subside within hours. You can resume your normal activities as soon as you feel comfortable.

How Long Does Tattoo Removal Take?

The number of sessions required varies depending on the size, color, depth, and location of your tattoo on the body or face. On average, most patients need 4–8 sessions spaced several weeks apart for optimal results.

Brow Tattoo Removal Timeline

Brow tattoos often require fewer sessions compared to larger body tattoos because of their smaller size and more superficial placement
However, the pigments used in brow tattoos, often designed to mimic natural brow shades, can be stubborn and require the laser to precisely target multiple wavelengths
Each session is typically brief, lasting around 15–20 minutes
Treatments are spaced about 4–6 weeks apart to allow the skin to heal fully and the pigment particles to fade

Body Tattoo Removal Timeline

Body tattoos vary significantly in size, depth, and color complexity, which affects the number of sessions needed
Larger tattoos with multiple colors may require closer to 8 sessions, as the laser must address different pigment types with varying wavelengths
Sessions for body tattoos are slightly longer, lasting 20–30 minutes on average, depending on the tattoo's size
Treatments are spaced 6–8 weeks apart to ensure optimal healing and fading
