PicoSure laser tattoo removal treatment uses ultra-short pulses of laser light targeting tattoo ink and breaking it down into smaller elements. The particles are eliminated through the body’s natural processes resulting in the lightening of the tattoo. These pigments deteriorate into minute particles before dispersing. The body eliminates these grains in less than six weeks with the assistance of its immune system.
