PicoSure Tattoo Removal
Laser Tattoo Removal in Princeton, New Jersey
Many of the millions of Americans who have tattoos on their body seek an effective and safe tattoo removal procedure. This can be for a wide range of reasons, but those looking for this particular service often face the same problem: tattoo removal procedures can be very painful, or are only partially effective. Until now. With PicoSure™ laser tattoo removal, patients can safely and effectively remove unwanted tattoos without harming their skin.
What is PicoSure tattoo removal?
PicoSure laser tattoo removal uses an advanced laser to break up the ink in a tattoo. By focusing laser energy into the ink particles under the skin, the laser is able to remove the unwanted ink and allow the body to eliminate any color, leaving patients with clear skin after the appropriate amount of treatments have been done.
How PicoSure laser tattoo removal works
PicoSure emits a pressure wave of energy in picoseconds (a trillionth of a second). The technology was developed especially for treating pigmented areas of the skin.
The pressure wave is emitted in short, powerful pulse bursts without damaging the surrounding skin, providing better results and less treatment time than previous laser tattoo removal methods.
