A Guide to Laser Tattoo Removal

Unthink Inc • January 28, 2023

Just like getting a tattoo, having a tattoo removed is an important decision. It matters who you choose to do the removal. Otherwise, some clinics use uncertified laser technicians who may not have any medical background at all.

At Unthink Inc, we use advanced laser technology to remove tattoos safely and effectively.


Understanding Tattoo Removal Technology


There are many ways to remove tattoos. However, one of the most effective is PicoWay laser tattoo removal. This modern technology has turned tattoos from a permanent decision to one that can be reversed if your circumstances or feelings change. The PicoWay process uses shorter pulses, known as picosecond pulses, to target tattoo ink and break it into very small particles that can then be absorbed by the body, removing the tattoo. Compared to the nanosecond pulses used in traditional lasers, picosecond pulses target the ink more effectively.


In the past, some tattoo removal methods had trouble with mid-spectrum colors such as light blues and greens, for instance, but these can be treated with PicoWay technology.


When looking at laser tattoo removal before and after photos, you can often spot the difference between high-quality work using modern technology and treatment methods that are older and less effective. Choosing the right technology matters. It also matters who you choose to do the work.


Focusing on What Matters


The ins and outs of laser tattoo removal machine technology can often be confusing for people. With so many lasers available and so many different possible techniques and technicians as options, some people focus on what seems to be the easiest difference to understand: the price.

However, in the words of Gabriel Biel, "You get what you pay for." In the vast majority of cases, the less you pay for something, the lower quality it will inevitably be. This is not a risk that you will want to take with something as important as tattoo removal.


There are many people who want to get tattoos removed because they chose the wrong artist to do the work in the first place and they don’t like how the tattoo looks. Don’t let this happen to you again by choosing an inexperienced tattoo removal professional who uses older technology. Unfortunately, when you choose the lowest price option, this is often what you get.


This technology is not only less effective at removing the tattoo, but it also tends to be more painful, requires more sessions, and increases the risk of skin damage. If you want the industry-leading medical laser specifically made for tattoo removal, then choose PicoWay.
