Q-switched lasers are excellent for laser tattoo removal, but Cynosure PicoSure® laser removal has rapidly become the gold standard in laser tattoo removal. Pico laser is measured by pico seconds, while Q-switch lasers are measured by nano seconds. The technology of pico laser shatters pigments into much smaller fragments compared to Q-switch; this allows the body to get rid of stubborn pigmentation at a faster rate.

With the PicoSure®, the 755nm wavelength is able to target black, blue, and green tattoo inks, while the optional 532nm wavelength offers effective treatment of “sunset colours”—red, yellow and orange—which are typically hard to correct.

• Tailor treatments using variable spot sizes
• Use boost mode to better treat recalcitrant tattoos with shortened pulse width
• Treat black ink in darker skin type patients using the 1064nm delivery

Creating an intense photothermal impact in trillionths of a second, PicoSure’s advanced technology spares the skin high thermal damage and targets the chromophore for better clearance in fewer treatments.

What does PicoSure® tattoo removal feel like?
PicoSure® laser tattoo removal process is relatively comfortable, and most patients have reported about the non-painful nature of the procedure.

What Colours Can the PicoSure® Laser Remove?
Stubborn ink colours tend to fall into the green, blue, and purple categories. Tattooregret.ca have found that the PicoSure® laser completely removes these colours in fewer sessions than any other wavelength of the laser in the picosecond market. With this technology, we’ve found that colours that were stubborn to laser removal are now often more easy to remove than black ink.

When will I See Results from my PicoSure® Laser Treatment?
Healing from a Picosure® tattoo removal treatment typically takes around two weeks. During this time, you will notice some minor swelling and redness in the treated area as well as some bruising between the first and third days following treatment. You may develop some burning, itching, and blistering, during the healing process, which is normal.

How Many PicoSure® laser Treatments Does it Take to Remove a Tattoo?
With the Picosure® laser, we are able to completely remove stubborn tattoos in as few as 8-12 treatments, 6 weeks apart. Picosure® laser is also much less damaging to the skin than other lasers. Even tattoos that still have visible ink after 10 or more laser treatments (recalcitrant tattoos) can be effectively treated with the Picosure® laser.

The laser tattoo removal treatment with the PicoSure® laser causes less damage to the skin than other non-picosecond lasers and the healing process is shorter than with a different tattoo removal laser.

The EVO Q-Plus Series is the evolution of the industry-favorite three-wavelength laser for tattoo removal. Now with a 3 Hz Ruby—the fastest available—and three separate emission modes to expand treatment possibilities beyond typical Q-switched devices.

New OptiBeam™ II Technology OptiBeam™ II technology is extremely important for any application where Q-switched laser is involved. The extremely high laser peak power of these devices has to treat the skin without any “hot points” in the spot size. The OptiBeam™ II handpiece assures a perfect flat top beam profile due to its advanced optical technology, distributing the laser power homogeneously all over the spot size.
