Tattoos Aren't Permanent Anymore | Enlighten Laser and Skin Care Clinic

Just a decade ago, deciding to get a tattoo was a commitment you could not take back (at least not without serious pain). With the growth and innovation of the tattoo removal industry, there has been a peak in those willing to get inked and we can only assume it’s because tattoo regret is a thing of the past because of the PicoWay tattoo removal laser.

Many individuals decide to get tattoos and despite thought and planning, regret their ink almost immediately. In the past decade, technological advancements within the tattoo removal industry have opened up opportunity for those regretting their ink. Within a year, you can comfortably remove your tattoos without the the risk or severe pain of past removal methods.

Plain and simple—tattoos aren’t permanent anymore.

At Enlighten Laser and Skin Care Clinic, we trust Syneron Candela’s PicoWay tattoo removal laser, the most advanced laser tattoo removal technology on the market today. With ultra-short picosecond pulses of energy the laser is able to target ink particles and shatter them to tiny pieces without impacting the surrounding skin. The tiny pieces can then be naturally disposed of through the body’s natural processes.

Picosecond energy is much faster than any other laser tattoo removal competitor, which means PicoWay is the more efficient and most comfortable solution to your unwanted ink. With its ability to safely treat a broader range of skin types and an array of tattoo colours, the PicoWay laser allows us to clear tattoos faster and more effectively than traditional Q-Switched lasers. Most laser devices use slower energy speed, nanoseconds, which means that patients must undergo many treatments before the skin is completely cleared of ink. Faster pulses means fewer, shorter treatments.

Furthermore, most lasers only use one or two wavelengths that limit the range of tattoo colours that can be cleared and targeted effectively. The PicoWay laser uses three separate wavelengths: 532 nm, 785 nm and 1064 nm. This is the first laser of its kind able to perform at 785 nm and targeting difficult tattoo colours in the blue and green family.

The PicoWay laser has been used on thousands of satisfied clients and continues to gain national attention in the media due to its ability to completely free people from their tattoos (and regrets).
