Your Guide to Laser Tattoo Removal with the Candela PicoWay: FAQs and Insights
At Laser Center of Orlando, we recognize that lasers are the most effective solution for removing unwanted tattoos. The Candela PicoWay is the most powerful of the picosecond lasers on the market. This laser breaks up tattoo ink through photoacoustics (sound waves) at a trillionth of a second and fades tattoos away over time. The Candela PicoWay is the most sought-after laser tattoo removal device. Below are frequently asked questions about laser tattoo removal using the Candela PicoWay laser.
What happens during laser tattoo removal?
During laser tattoo removal with the Candela PicoWay, a high-intensity laser beam is directed at the tattooed area. The energy from the laser penetrates the skin and effectively breaks up the ink particles into small molecular fragments. These tiny fragments are then naturally absorbed by the body’s immune system and flushed out naturally.
What can I expect from the laser tattoo removal process?
During the laser tattoo removal process with the Candela PicoWay, you can expect some discomfort and slight redness or swelling in the treated area. This reaction is normal as the ink particles in your skin absorb the laser energy. It is rare, but you may also experience blistering or scabbing as your body works to remove the small, shattered ink particles. This is a natural part of the healing process and should not cause concern.
