What are the advantages of PICO Enlighten III versus other laser tattoo removal devices?
The PICO Enlighten III laser is the gold standard and most advanced technology on the market for laser tattoo removal on all skin types. The treatment uses nanosecond and picosecond pulses to break down ink particles in tattoos into tiny fragments, which are then naturally broken down through the lymphatic system. Over time as the particles are removed, the tattoo lightens and ink-free skin will appear.
The PICO Enlighten III laser has several advantages over traditional laser tattoo removal methods. It delivers short, high-intensity pulses of laser energy into trillionths of a second, which means it can treat tattoos more quickly and effectively with fewer sessions than other PICO or Q-switched laser systems. Additionally, the PICO Enlighten III laser offers multiple wavelengths, including 532 nm, 670 nm, and 1064 nm allowing for a customizable treatment approach that can target a wide range of tattoo colours and types. White, yellow, pink, and green colours are typically very difficult to treat with other laser tattoo removal devices, however, the PICO Enlighten III is the strongest and most advanced of all the PICO devices on the market today and excels at removing all colour palettes.
Laser Tattoo Removal
How many laser treatments are required to remove a tattoo?
The total number of treatments vary depending on the composition, depth, and colour of the ink, as well as the size of the tattoo. Since the PICO Enlighten III laser is the most powerful laser on the market for laser tattoo removal service, the number of treatments you will need at FCP Dermatology will be significantly less than at other clinics. During your consultation, we will assess your tattoo to help determine how many treatments will be necessary to achieve optimal results.
Is the procedure painful?
The PICO Enlighten III tattoo removal procedure is well tolerated by patients at FCP Dermatology. Our team of experienced and educated laser technicians combined with our on-site Dermatologist will make sure the treatment is as comfortable as possible. A topical or local anesthetic may be used to minimize any discomfort during the treatment.
Tattoo Removal Procedure
Which professionals can treat patients with the PICO Enlighten III laser for tattoo removal?
Lasers are not regulated in Canada so anyone can operate a laser. We do unfortunately see burns and pigment changes from lasers being operated by unqualified technicians at other clinics. Be careful and do your research. A Dermatology clinic with an on-site Dermatologist and licensed experienced laser technicians is where you want to go. At FCP Dermatology, all treatments are supervised and overseen by our on-site Double Board-Certified Dermatologist, Dr. Kristy Bailey.
Before the procedure
A careful analysis of your tattoo will be performed by our team of laser technicians and on-site Dermatologist. We will advise you on the number of treatments necessary to give you the best results. Hair should be shaved if it is within the treatment area. Please shave the night before treatment to avoid any irritation. Please do not tan or use self-tanners for 2 weeks prior to treatment and for 2 weeks after the treatment.
During the procedure
Depending on the colour of the tattoo, the appropriate wavelength will be chosen. The handpiece is waved over the tattoo, immediately showing frosting over the treatment area. The procedure is quick, efficient, and effective. Since we have an on-site Dermatologist at FCP Dermatology, local or topical anesthesia may be applied to minimize any discomfort.
After the procedure
Patients may experience swelling, redness, and in some cases develop blisters on the treated area. These are normal side effects of tattoo removal and subside with proper care. Follow all post-care instructions provided to you during your appointment at FCP Dermatology. Avoid sun exposure for 2 weeks following treatment and use an SPF 50 broad spectrum (UVA/UVB) sunscreen. Avoid skin irritants (products containing tretinoin, retinol, benzoyl peroxide, glycolic/salicylic acids, etc.) until the skin is fully healed.
Ongoing Care
At FCP Dermatology we are dedicated to the ongoing care of our patients to provide you with the best results possible.
