Non-invasive solution
Tattoo removal at Victoria Park Medispa uses advanced picosecond laser technologies, such as PicoWay® or PicoSure™, depending on the clinic. These lasers deliver ultra-short pulses that precisely break down tattoo ink while minimizing impact on the surrounding skin. Different wavelengths allow the treatment to target multiple ink colors effectively and safely across a wide range of skin types. Over a series of sessions, the fragmented ink is naturally cleared by the body, leaving the skin gradually clearer.

HOW THE
TREATMENT WORKS
PicoWay® tattoo removal uses ultra-short laser pulses to shatter ink particles into tiny fragments. These fragments are then naturally cleared away through the body's lymphatic system, allowing the tattoo to gradually fade while preserving the surrounding tissue.
Step 1
A personalized consultation is performed to assess the tattoo and determine whether PicoWay® treatment is appropriate for your goals.
Step 2
The area is cleansed and prepared prior to treatment. Protective eyewear is provided to ensure your safety and comfort.
Step 3
Laser settings are customized according to the tattoo’s color, depth, and age to ensure precise and appropriate treatment.
Step 4
The PicoWay® laser delivers ultra-short pulses to fragment ink particles within the skin.
Step 5
Targeted and methodical passes are performed to ensure even coverage of the treated area.
Step 6
The treatment concludes with the application of soothing and protective skincare products tailored to the skin. Personalized recommendations are provided to help optimize comfort, recovery, and treatment results.

FAQ
Got questions about PicoWay® laser tattoo removal? We’ve got your answers here!
HOW DOES PICOWAY® LASER TATTOO REMOVAL WORK?
PicoWay® uses ultra-short picosecond laser pulses to break tattoo ink into tiny particles. These particles are then naturally eliminated through the body's lymphatic system. Its advanced technology allows for effective tattoo removal with less heat, greater comfort, and fewer side effects compared to older laser technologies.
WHY CHOOSE PICOWAY® FOR LASER TATTOO REMOVAL?
PicoWay® uses advanced photoacoustic technology to shatter ink particles while minimizing thermal damage to the surrounding skin. Its multiple wavelengths allow it to effectively target a wide range of tattoo colours, including difficult shades such as green, blue, and red. This often results in excellent clearance with fewer treatment sessions.
IS PICOWAY® LASER TATTOO REMOVAL PAINFUL?
Most patients describe the sensation as similar to quick rubber-band snaps against the skin. A topical numbing cream may be applied before treatment to improve comfort.
AM I A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR LASER TATTOO REMOVAL?
PicoWay® tattoo removal is suitable for most individuals who wish to fade or remove a tattoo. A consultation will assess your skin type, tattoo characteristics, and treatment goals to determine the most appropriate treatment plan.
IS PICOWAY® LASER TATTOO REMOVAL SAFE FOR ALL SKIN TYPES?
Yes. PicoWay® can be used on a wide range of skin types and skin tones. A consultation is recommended to confirm your suitability for treatment.
HOW MANY PICOWAY® LASER TATTOO REMOVAL SESSIONS WILL I NEED?
The number of sessions depends on several factors, including the tattoo’s size, colours, depth, location, and age. Most tattoos typically require between 5 and 8 treatments for optimal results.
WHEN WILL I SEE RESULTS FROM LASER TATTOO REMOVAL?
Tattoo fading occurs gradually after each session over several weeks. Results continue to improve throughout the treatment series.
WHAT WILL MY SKIN LOOK LIKE AFTER LASER TATTOO REMOVAL?
Following treatment, temporary redness, swelling, or whitening of the treated area may occur. These are normal responses and generally resolve within a few days.
CAN I REMOVE ONLY PART OF A TATTOO?
Yes. PicoWay® can precisely target specific portions of a tattoo, making it possible to remove only selected areas or prepare the tattoo for a cover-up.
CAN PICOWAY® REMOVE ALL TATTOO COLOURS?
Yes. PicoWay® uses multiple wavelengths to treat a broad range of tattoo colours, including black, blue, green, red, and other challenging pigments.
