During the last decade, the laser tattoo removal industry has improved significantly. Tattoos of all ink colour and skin of all tones can now be treated effectively and more importantly, safely. However, a lot of old technology still exists and are in laser clinics all over Ontario.

If you are looking into tattoo removal, it is important that you look into the technology —not just the price. Having your tattoo removed with older laser tattoo removal technology (known as Q-switched laser) increases the risk of scarring, slows the entire removal process, and is more painful and difficult.

There are many reasons to choose tattoo removal with Syneron Candela Picoway laser over traditional Q-switched lasers. Here are just five:

The Picoway laser uses picosecond technology which is 1000 times faster than the laser pulses of Q-switched lasers. Shorter pulses means a faster tattoo removal journey and potentially decreasing the number of sessions needed for total clearance.

The shorter the pulse duration, the less time skin is exposed to heat and potential pain. The Picoway mainly uses  photoacoustic laser energy not photothermal laser energ y. Not only does this decrease risk, but it makes sessions far more comfortable.

The Picoway laser is the first of its kind offering the following three laser wavelengths: 532nm, 1064nm and the new 785nm. The laser wavelength determines the colours that the laser is able to target and clear making the Picoway more capable of clearing difficult tattoos. With the Picoway ability to target just specific colours, Unthink Inc. offers partial tattoo removal allowing clients to alter existing ink into a new creation. If you have blue or green ink within your tattoo in particular, Picoway is the obvious answer to your tattoo removal.

Using Q-switched lasers for tattoo removal greatly increases risk scarring because the majority of the laser power is photothermal (laser light energy and heat). Not only does the extra heat make the process uncomfortable, but also increases the risk of hyperpigmentation or hypopimentation. The PicoWay uses majorly photoacoustic (which is laser light energy and vibration) making the treatments safer and available to clients of all skin tones and tattoo colours.
