Tattoo & Pigment Laser

Overview in Sharjah & UAQ

Pico laser technology represents a step-change in tattoo and pigment removal. Compared to older Q-switched systems, Pico delivers energy in picosecond pulses — fragmenting ink and pigment particles into smaller fragments that the body clears more efficiently, with significantly less heat damage to surrounding skin.

We use Pico laser for unwanted tattoos (amateur, professional, cosmetic micropigmentation), stubborn pigmentation (sun spots, resistant melasma, freckles), and benign lesions. Each case is assessed individually — tattoo depth, ink composition, and skin type all influence the appropriate energy settings and expected session count.

Tattoo course: 6–15 sessions, 6–8 weeks apart

Pigment course: 3–6 sessions, 4–6 weeks apart

Fewer Sessions, Faster Results

Pico technology breaks ink particles smaller than older Q-switched lasers — your body clears them faster. Most tattoos require 30–40% fewer sessions versus older systems.

Effective on All Ink Colours

Different Pico wavelengths target different colours — blues, greens, reds, and even cosmetic pigments respond to appropriate Pico settings. Older lasers struggle with these.

Lower Scar Risk

Picosecond pulses cause far less collateral heat damage than nanosecond Q-switched lasers — significantly reducing scar risk, particularly for darker skin tones.

Why Choose Us

01

Genuine Pico Laser Platform

We use authentic Pico laser equipment — not relabeled Q-switched devices. The device serial and authenticity documentation are available on request.

02

Multi-Wavelength for All Colours

Our system delivers multiple wavelengths (typically 532nm, 755nm, 1064nm) to target the full ink colour spectrum effectively.

03

Conservative Skin-Type Settings

For darker skin tones, we use lower fluences across more sessions rather than aggressive single-pass treatment. This produces clearance with the lowest risk of pigmentation complications.

Aftercare Recommendations

Frosting & Mild Swelling

Tattoos often show a white "frost" immediately post-treatment — normal and fades within 30 minutes. Mild swelling and tenderness for 24–48 hours.

Scabs May Form — Do Not Pick

Some tattoos form a light scab over 5–10 days. This is part of the healing process. Picking it off causes scarring. Let it fall off naturally.

SPF 50, Always

Strict SPF 50 on treated area until full healing and beyond. UV exposure during the clearing process causes pigmentation.

Be Patient Between Sessions

Most ink clearance happens BETWEEN sessions as your body breaks down fragmented particles. Continued fading for 4–8 weeks after each session.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many sessions to remove my tattoo?

Most tattoos require 6–15 Pico sessions, spaced 6–8 weeks apart. Variables include: ink density, depth (professional vs amateur), colour (black easiest, fluorescent hardest), and skin location.

Will tattoo removal leave a scar?

With Pico technology and conservative dosing on appropriate skin types, scarring is uncommon. The lower thermal damage of picosecond pulses dramatically reduces scar risk compared to older lasers.

Can you remove cosmetic tattoos — eyebrows, lip liner?

Yes — though cosmetic pigments are sometimes more challenging due to titanium dioxide and iron oxide content. We perform a test spot first to confirm safe response before treating the full area.

Does laser tattoo removal hurt?

Yes — it is more intense than getting the tattoo. We use topical numbing, cold air cooling during treatment, and short pulse durations. Most sessions take only minutes.
