PicoSure Tattoo Removal In Kailua Kona & Waimea
PicoSure is a revolutionary technology in the world of tattoo removal. As the worldโs first picosecond laser and the only advanced tattoo removal laser with PressureWave technology, PicoSure works with your body to remove unwanted ink effectively and safely.
How Does PicoSure Work?
PicoSure delivers laser energy that specifically targets tattoo ink, resulting in the fragmentation of the ink particles without harming the surrounding tissue. It works effectively on multi-colored tattoos, including blues and greens, black ink, and even stubborn, previously treated tattoos. PressureWave technology is used to deliver ultra-short pulses of specialized energy to targeted ink particles. These pulses are so rapid they cause a change in pressure that breaks ink apart into tiny dust-like particles. These tiny particles are then absorbed by the lymphatic system, a critical part of your bodyโs immune system, and eliminated naturally.
What Does the Procedure Feel Like?
Laser tattoo removal with PicoSure has been described as feeling similar to the actual tattooing process. We understand that some patients may feel some discomfort, which is why we offer topical numbing cream, lidocaine injections, and cool air with our Zimmer Chiller to make your experience more comfortable.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
The number of treatments needed is dependent on variables such as ink characteristics, size of the tattoo, location on the body, and lifestyle habits. Treatments typically occur every 6-8 weeks, and our expert team will develop a treatment plan tailored to your individual needs.
What is the Downtime?
After the procedure, you may expect a sunburn-like sensation once the numbing effect has worn off. It is recommended that you avoid direct sunlight or the ocean until the area treated is fully healed. Some patients may experience blistering as a side effect.

Dr. Monica Scheelโs office is by far the best in all of Hawaii. I want to share some of my experiences with her and her team: I work as an injector on Kauai so I have had the wonderful opportunity to train under Dr. Monica. She is so thorough, knowledgeable, and next level when it comes to aesthetic medicine. She is more than up-to-date on all the latest techniques and products and she is such a fabulous mentor. I feel so lucky to learn from her. I truly believe she is the best in Hawaii and if Iโm getting any work done, Iโm 100% going to her! Now, for the dermatology side of things, my fiancรฉ and I are in need of our annual skin check and so with him being high risk for skin cancer, I wanted to make sure I was taking him to the best provider I could and that is absolutely at Dr. Monicaโs office. He saw Natalie, PA and she was amazing. She was super thorough. She educated us on changes we can make for our skin health and took such great care of both of us! I highly recommend Natalie! And I must commend Dr. Monicaโs team, from check-in to check out, they make the process so smooth and make you feel very comfortable and right at home. They surely do deserve every bit of praise as they are just incredible all-around. At a recent training that Dr. Monica hosted and was the lead trainer at, I ended up being one of her models to showcase her skill set and the Merz portfolio products. Like I said, she is amongst one of the few people I would trust injecting my face as an injector myself. She so elegantly was able to enhance the contours of my cheeks, give me some amazing jawline definition with Radiesse, and greatly reduced the appearance of my acne scars as well. Her technique is second to none and Iโm so ecstatic about my results! Her medical assistants made the process so easy and pain-free. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Monica Scheel!

Tatiana is one of my #esthibesties at Dr Monicaโs office. I did a beauty day with her and got: dermplane, diamond glow, teeth whitening and peel on my arms and legs! I felt so cared for and loved my glow-up!
2024-10-13
I had my second microneedling session with Tatiana. I already see results from my first treatment, and I'm excited to see what happens with the second. Tatiana is very nice, professional, and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend her and Stephanie from Dr. Scheel's office.
2024-09-29
I saw Steph again for my relaxers and it was great! Everyone in this office, from the front desk, to the MAs and the providers are the best of the best! Top tier care and Iโll never go anywhere else!

PA Tricia Achay is so professional & knowledgable. Best Dermatology visit on Island
2024-09-26
Always prompt and professional. Nala--with her dermaplaning and diamondglowing--transforms my skin into such that dreams are made of. Always on the vanguard of what is happening; the cutting edge of the industry. So grateful to have you so close to home. Mahalo nui loa!

2024-09-22
Tatiana Krause did my facial peel today and this was THE most relaxing experience I have ever had, Tatiana is incredibly knowledgeable and honest. She gives you a thorough assessment of your skin, offers recommendations on products, and gives you tangible goals to work towards in. I felt like everything she did and recommended was in the best interest of my appearance. Big Mahalo to Tatiana was so nice to talk about mainland life since we both were living in the mainland before we moved to/back to Hawaii. I look forward to coming back again such a very pleasant and invigorating experience! Aloha Renee Wong
2024-09-22
I had a great experience receiving a Dermaplaning & Diamond Glow. Tatiana was very personable and knowledgable in skin care. She explained everything she was doing and really made me comfortable. My skin looked & felt like a total refresh.

Shania is AMAZING !!! She was so supporting and attentive during my teeth whitening appointment. Her calm demeanor kept me calm since I wasnโt really sure what to expect. I had taken some ibuprofen before the appointment as suggested on the handout. Wasnโt sure how painful the process was going to be. I felt no pain during the experience. There were four 12 minute periods when the blue lights were doing their thing. Shania continued to ask me if I was doing OK throughout. She would keep me posted on the timing. The procedure was so relaxing I almost fell asleep. hahaโฆ I am impressed with the results. I purchased the โhome kitโ to continue the whitening process. MAHALO SHANIA for a GREAT EXPERIENCE !!! ALSO - Would like to give a shout out of THANKS to Sandra and Dr Monica during my recent annual skin check. I appreciated their empathetic support when I told them my Mom had recently passed. Mom had been a patient of Dr Monicaโs for almost 30 years. Thank you Sandra and Dr Monica for your kind and comforting words. I asked Sandra if she would be my โtwo for one partnerโ for the September Special since Mom had passed. Dr Monica was so kind and supportive of me wanting to do something good for me she said I could have the โ2 for 1โ special with just me. MAHALO DR MONICA !!!

This week was a terrible week for me as I had faced a very unpleasant experience from a supposedly experienced injector from an advanced medical training certification class. I was very anxious, miserable, frustrated and in so much pain. Thankfully, Dr Monica Scheel and her team came to my rescue. They took me in right away and made me comfortable in my time of distress. They were knowlegeable, professional and most of all--kind hearted. Dr Scheel is truly an angel sent by God. As a provider myself, I know the amount of special time she spent ensuring of my well-being and in reaching out to other colleagues to help me with my case. She indeed has the heart to help others. Words cannot express my gratitude to the service I received from Dr Scheel and her team. I highly recommend her clinic.
2024-09-06
Lauren in Waimea is the BEST receptionist!!! Sheโs so patient, and really goes above and beyond with all the appointments you need to book. Also loving the new Estie Tatiana, sheโs very knowledgeable, Iโm excited to continue my future facials with her.

Shania did my teeth whitening! She was very detail oriented and lightened my teeth 10 shades! I didnโt have any sensitivity! I had a great experience and immediately got compliments on my white teeth! As always I felt the genuine caring! Shania you are going to be a great esthetician!

This team is unmatched in the industry of dermatology and aesthetics . If youโre looking for a place where exceptional service is not just a promise but a guarantee, look no further. I canโt recommend this establishment highly enoughโitโs a model of what excellent service should be. --- Let me know if you'd like any changes or additional details!
2024-08-13
I was impressed with the thorough examination by the assistant, and itโs documentation on an official record. This is the second time I visited this doctor and was surprised to find they had kept the record of my prior visit of last year and compared it during my current examination. I really appreciate that, and it made me confident that their diagnosis of no problems was accurate, given the fact they had examined me about a year ago. Thanks so much.
2024-08-13
Caring, professional, competent, trustworthy - highly recommended

I had the pleasure of receiving the Skin Vive treatment from PA Tricia, and I couldn't be happier with the results! The treatment is a fantastic complement to a Botox treatment, and it left my skin looking and feeling rejuvenated. Tricia's expertise and gentle approach made the experience even better. Additionally, her MA Shania was incredibly helpful and attentive throughout the process. I highly recommend Tricia and Skin Vive for anyone seeking a refresh for tired looking skin. Five stars all the way!

Aloha, I rarely leave reviews for anything, but this is an exception. I recently had an appointment with Dr. Monica's Kona office for Lazer Hair Removal. I have had a problem with my facial hair most all my life and just dreaded waking up every morning having to shave since I was 12yo. Now this really wasnt a problem, more of a daily inconvenience. Several years ago, I started my new life and have been in transition MtF. My daily ritual of waking up and staring into the mirror and seeing the return of my former self poking through on my face was as if the mirror was laughing at me. I finally had enough and found Dr. Monica Scheel's office in Kona and booked an appointment. When I arrived, completely with my "nakid" face and some fear, I opened the office door to be greeted by a wonderful staff that made me feel very welcome and addressed my concerns and set me to ease immediately. The staff was thorough and very professional which I appreciated very much. In a short time, a wonderful technician greeted me and escorted me into the treatment room. The room was very clean and had a nice comfortable feeling, again which I appreciated. My technician Brittany explained everything and answered my questions in a matterafact and knowledgeable way. She had a wonderful empathy when I flinched a couple times and really made me feel at ease. My procedure was quick and relatively painless. My check out was wonderful as the staff went through my options for pay and future bookings, I felt no pressure and a true sense of caring from them all. I was given instructions of what to expect the next few days and how to deal with any problems I had. The next day, I woke up and rubbed my face to feel nothing, ONLY the smooth skin of the areas worked on. No stubble, nothing... I couldn't believe it. it was just gone, like magic. I cried it was such an overwhelming experience not to feel/see anything on my face. I just cant describe this feeling in words... Anyway, as a TransFemale, its a true miracle to see the outside reflect what I feel inside, its just unreal. Thank you to everyone at Dr. Monica's office and epically Brittany for my experience and outcome. I am really looking forwards to completing my series of appointment here at this office and HIGHLY recommend to anyone out there thats thinking of having this kind of work done to do so at this office. Truly grateful. Linda

2023-09-06
Today I had the pleasure of experiencing a Diamond Glow Facial with Tahila, and I couldn't wait to share my fantastic experience! From start to finish, it was an absolute delight. Tahila's expertise and professionalism were immediately evident as she guided me through the process. She took the time to explain every step of the Diamond Glow Facial, making me feel at ease and well-informed about the treatment. Her sweet and caring demeanor created a relaxing atmosphere, which greatly enhanced the overall experience. As soon as the facial began, I could sense that I was in the hands of a true skincare expert. Tahila's technique was gentle yet effective, leaving my skin feeling incredibly soft, clean, and rejuvenated. The Diamond Glow Facial exceeded my expectations, and I could visibly see and feel the difference in my skin immediately. What sets Tahila apart is not only her skill but also her passion for what she does. Her knowledge of skincare and willingness to share tips and advice personalized to my skin type were invaluable. It's rare to find someone who is both highly skilled and genuinely caring in their approach, and Tahila embodies both of these qualities. In summary, my Diamond Glow Facial with Tahila was a truly enjoyable experience that left my face feeling revitalized and glowing. I can't thank Tahila enough for her exceptional service and warm hospitality. I wholeheartedly recommend Tahila's services to anyone seeking top-notch skincare treatments and a genuinely pleasant experience. Thank you, Tahila, for making my day and my skin shine brighter! I'll definitely be returning for more of your wonderful treatments in the future.

During cosmetic filler procedures, I get dizzy (and have even fainted in the past). I let them know at my first visit that despite my best efforts and desires, these things were somehow just very hard for me. Patsy and her team were the most skilled and caring I have ever encountered and for the first time, I truly had a positive experience!! They took the time necessary and truly know their stuff. Patsy has so much experience and training that it was easy to relax knowing I was in good hands. She prescribed the perfect treatment and was thoroughly engaged in my concerns and wishes. It was awesome to feel like I wasnโt just being rushed or upsold ! I was treated with respect and care and each question was clearly answered . The medical assistant with me was so assuring and tender, while clearly being impeccably trained and able to read everything that was needed to help the procedure move as quickly and smoothly as possible. Top notch professionals- the absolute best ever! โฆ.and I am thrilled with my results! My new favorite place โค๏ธ

Tahila is the best! It was my first treatment at Dr. Monica Scheel's office and Tahila definitely made me feel very welcome and comfortable. I had my first dermaplane and I was little nervous about it, but she answered any questions and concerns I had. My skin and I are very happy with the results and would definitely go back and do more treatments with Tahila
2023-08-06
If I could, I would post 10 stars. These folks have diagnosed atypical melanoma, and several other types of skin cancer for me. My skin issues manifest differently from most fair skin types. And they've gotten them all through due diligence. It takes a staff that gives 100%. I am so grateful! Beth. ๐

I did my 1st dermaplane and Diamond glow with Tahila @ Dr Monica Scheels office today. My experience was amazing. I could feel the freshness of my skin when the layers were taken off. It felt weightless and clean. Tahila was amazing and professional we had great conversation throughout the whole process. She had great communication skills each step of the way. I recommend it to everyone 10/10. Shout out to the DJ of the day the music was on point it had me relaxed!

Been going here for close to 10 years now and itโs my most favorite doctors to see. Most amazing staff, addressing all your derm concerns, go above and beyond in thoroughly explaining conditions, procedures and your available options of various treatment. They take pride in their patients and keeping them informed in maintaining your skin for your health as well as keeping you confident in its appearance. Cosmetic treatments your are blessed with the best of the best, these are all a group of perfectionist, amazingly skilled woman in everything they doโฆIve had Beverly Hills celebrity plastic surgeons comment on how good my sculptra and botox was done, by how natural it looked and how long it lasted, so thank you โPatsyโ, for taking such good care of me, that later in life if u ever decide to take time away, i will never know how to answer a doctor when they say what do u want done? I will say, โface time patsy right nowโ, to ask what I want, lol However, itโs not just myself thatโs been so fortunate in being treated by them, my 3 boys and husband have been there as well. My husband had a mole removed and botox for migraines, my middle son throughout puberty had hydrafacials that kept his skin clear, as well as botox for TMJ during his track seasons, then my 14 yr old just started for his hydrafacials and microdermabrasion to keep his skin cleared from those hormonal breakouts that he suffered from so very much until his treatments. Thank you all for loving my family as I do and always the one doctors I look forward in seeing! Lisa Kemp

Aesthetician Tahila was professional and knowledgeable. She asked questions and regularly checked with me regarding my comfort.
2023-07-20
It was my first time doing professional teeth whitening and Brittany Heu was amazing. I was worried about pain since I have sensitive teeth and have only been able to use crest white strips for sensitive teeth in the past. Brittany was very helpful in talking me through everything and offered to only do a half session and see how my teeth feel. I was very surprised the next day when my teeth didnโt hurt at all. I finished up my teeth whitening procedure 3 months later and Iโm very happy with the results. I took 1 advil before treatment and my teeth feel fine so far. I also like the toothpaste and at home whitening kit. I have very sensitive teeth and Iโm so relieved this treatment went great!
2023-07-13
The sweetest staff ever!!! And what girl what! There all gorgeous!!! Walked out feeling like a Million bucks!!! Thank u thank u!

Dr. Monica has assembled an amazing team. Stephanie is wonderful! Appointments are always on schedule, never feel rushed and she always provides ample time for consultation and numbing (if requested) prior to treatment in order to ensure a stress & pain free experience. Online booking makes it easy to schedule - I've always been able to get appointments with very short notice. Mahalo!
2023-07-13
Dr. Monica and her staff are so warm and welcoming, and they take such great care of you the second you walk in the door. They are a busy practice but Dr. Monica and her staff take the time to get to know you and understand your needs and goals. After years of struggling with skin issues including acne, I am finally under the care of a compassionate dermatologist and my skin has never looked better.
2023-07-13

Always friendly and efficient staff. Results have been great so far and very natural looking. A doctor's office that consistently runs on time and with a smile. As long as this practice is around I'll never go anywhere else on island.

RN Stephanie is amazing. She is such an expert with lasers and has been keeping my skin spot free for years. I did a Picosure laser followed by a Potenza RF Microneedling today. Stephanie has expert knowledge paired with a gentle touch and I am sure my results will be stellar!
2023-06-20
Dr Patsy is the best artist!! I trust her implicitly her techniques are natural and she take the time to really understand what her client desires. Sheโs top notch!

2023-06-06
Always the most professional experience here! I see PA Patricia for Botox and filler - amazing results! Iโve been to Janelle for a dermaplane facial and I loved it! Today I saw PA Patsy. She totally refreshed my face! I cannot recommend a better office and staff for your medical aesthetics and Injectables.
2023-06-06
I always receive thorough compassionate care Thank you
2023-06-06
At Refresh, there's always an expert touch, making me look and feel my best.The services are a caliber above the rest, professional and pleasant. Customer service at Dr Monica's is top notch!

2023-05-27
Terrific, as always. Every time I leave their office, I feel confident and well cared for. Iโve always found the worst part of any visit to a doctor is the fact that some practitioners often donโt listen to their patients or take the time to explain and discuss the treatment plan. This has never been the case at Dr. Scheelโs office. They spend time talking with you and they actually listen to your concerns, paying close consideration to a variety of different factors to work with you and decide a treatment plan that best suits the individual! They are caring and compassionate while maintaining a reassuring professionalism. These women know their stuff and I will continue to trust them with my care. From the front desk to the medical assistant to the PAs and RNs, youโre always in good hands at Dr. Monica Scheelโs!
2023-05-26
I had the best experience with Nala and Brittany. They both made me feel very comfortable throughout my whole appointment and answered all my questions about my skin concerns. They made great recommendations for at home skin care and different treatments available. I will definitely be booking again!
2023-05-25
I HATE going to the dermatologist, but it's been a fact of my life for so many years. I've been to many dermatologists over the years...some good, some not so good. I'm new to the island and everyone recommended Monica Scheel. I had to wait a year for my initial appointment, but it was well worth it. Dr. Scheel's office is the best...caring, gentle staff; a beautiful atmosphere; and great care. If I have to have it done, I wouldn't go anywhere but here!
2023-05-25
I have always had great outcomes at Dr. Scheelโs offices with Patsy and several other technicians. Iโve had skin scans for cancer, fillers, laser treatments, facials and relaxers. All have been subtle changes that make me feel refreshed. They always listen to my needs. My skin glows and looks much younger than my actual age. So grateful they are here on-island!
2023-05-24
Stephanie and support staff were all incredibly welcoming, educational and comforting throughout the entire process. From consultation to the execution of the procedure to the aftercare instructions, they were professional and accommodating of all my questions and concerns. I left feeling more confident, excited for my skin care journey and will 100% continue to seek all dermatology needs from this practice. Gold star.
2023-05-23
I had a wonderful experience getting Botox today with Dr. Monica Scheel & her staff. They took their time to listen, address & create a plan to improve my other cosmetic concerns as well. Thank you so much for your time ladies!
2023-05-20
I love going here. The staff is so pleasant and helpful. Plus the treatments are great.
2023-05-20
Great experience. I'm so excited to start my laser hair removal process. Brittany did a great job explaining the process and what to expect during the treatment. 1st treatment down and looking forward to the nexr...I have done this years ago!
2023-05-20
I came in looking for Botox, and left with a better understanding of skin care. Mahalo to all...I'm grateful
2023-05-13
Nala is a godsend! I trust her implicitly and always have the best time when I see her. My skin has never looked better!

2023-05-06
The staff is always professional & provides quality service. The esthetician was very knowledgeable & informative. My husband and I appreciated her honestly regarding what products and treatments would be beneficial based on our individual needs versus just trying to make a sale. She was very attentive and thorough in her approach. So grateful for having a safe place to address our medical/cosmetic needs.
2023-05-06
Wonderful experience from when I first walked in the door until I exited. Receptionist staff was very pleasant and quick to acknowledge me. The assistant to PA patsy was very thorough in explaining the procedure (Botox). PA patsy also gave really sound suggestions and advice as to what procedures would be most advantageous to my wants. She listened to what I had to say. I felt very calm and relaxed and Iโm looking forward to my future visits. Even the final step of paying and scheduling was very pleasant. Some businesses could really learn from the staff here. Dr Scheel should be really proud of her employees. Recommend them highly.
2023-04-29
The office is beautiful and the staff are so friendly and wonderful. It was my first time getting relaxers and they made the experience easy and enjoyable

I love the great vibe of this office! I always feel well taken care of, and pleased with my treatment. Today I saw Stephanie, RN. She assessed my skin needs and my concerns, and gave me some very exciting options. Sold! I love that she gave me a detailed description of laser modalities, and helped me understand what would help my skin get the best results. I opted for PICO, as suggested. Very, very happy that Stephanie made time for me, with education, risks/benefits, questions, and some clinical and professional chit chat! The treatment itself was a breeze. Thank you to the front desk and the back desk ladies too!! You are all lovely and awesome ๐

Nalaโs amazing! Sheโs friendly, very knowledgeable and efficient. I had the Potenza RF Microneedling treatment done with her a few days ago. From start to finish she made sure I understood the treatment, precautions and post op care instructions. She also recommended the Alastin Regenerating Skin Nectar to use post treatment, this product is amazing!!! I have barely any post procedure redness and itโs definitely speeding up my recovery time. Highly recommend this product along with this treatment!

2023-02-27
I have pretty sensitive teeth, so I was a bit nervous to get the whitening. Britney was great, she put me at ease, asked lots of questions and went over everything thoroughly. The room was spacious, clean, and bright and I was comfortable during the procedure, which lasted about an hour and a half. The best part, of course, is I feel so much better with whiter teeth!
2023-02-27
I met with Stephanie for a consultation about the best procedure to lighten some beginning facial dark spots and decrease some wrinkles. She recommended a very affordable PicoSure procedure that she felt would meet my needs. Stephanie was very professional and knowledgeable. Iโm scheduled for the procedure in less than a week at a very convenient time. Am looking forward to it!

Explained what she was doing and why it was good for my skin and pores. I really appreciate the education/knowledge behind the service. My face felt so good! So clean and hydrated!

FAQs
Can PicoSure remove all tattoo colors?
Yes, PicoSure is particularly effective at removing a wide range of tattoo colors, including difficult blues and greens, as well as black ink.
What should I do before and after the treatment?
Before the treatment, we advise you to avoid sun exposure and to keep the area clean. After the treatment, it’s important to follow our detailed post-care instructions, which include keeping the area clean, avoiding sunlight and the ocean, and using recommended products for optimal healing.
Are there any contraindications or people who cannot use this service?
Yes, certain conditions may make PicoSure less suitable. This includes pregnancy, certain skin conditions, and certain medications. During your consultation, we’ll discuss your medical history to ensure PicoSure is a safe and effective option for you.
How long does each treatment session take?
The length of each session depends on the size and location of the tattoo, but generally, treatments can take anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour.
How painful is PicoSure tattoo removal?
PicoSure tattoo removal has been compared to the feeling of getting a tattoo, but everyone’s pain tolerance is different. We offer several options for pain management during the procedure, including a topical numbing cream and lidocaine injections.
What are the risks or side effects of PicoSure tattoo removal?
Common side effects include a sunburn-like sensation, redness, and swelling in the treated area. These are temporary and typically subside within a week. More serious but less common side effects include infection and scarring. We’ll provide a comprehensive list of potential side effects and how to prevent them during your consultation.
Can PicoSure completely remove my tattoo?
While PicoSure is one of the most effective tattoo removal systems available, the results can vary from person to person. Factors like the type and color of the ink, depth of the ink in your skin, and your body’s ability to eliminate the ink particles can all affect how completely the tattoo can be removed.
Will I see results after one session?
You’ll likely see some lightening after one session, but multiple sessions are typically needed to achieve optimal results. This is because each session targets a layer of the tattoo’s ink, and tattoos usually have multiple layers of ink.
How long should I wait between PicoSure treatments?
Treatments are typically spaced 6-8 weeks apart. This gives your body enough time to eliminate the broken-down ink particles and heal before the next treatment.
How should I care for the treated area after a PicoSure session?
After your PicoSure treatment, it’s important to keep the area clean and moisturized with an approved ointment. Avoid picking at any scabs or blisters that form, as this can lead to scarring. Also, protect the area from sun exposure to prevent pigment changes in your skin.
Are there any specific activities or substances I should avoid after a PicoSure session?
You should avoid swimming in the ocean or a pool until the treated area is fully healed to prevent infection. Avoid direct sun exposure, and if you do go out in the sun, use a strong sunscreen on the treated area. Also, avoid applying makeup or other cosmetic products to the treated area until it is fully healed.
Is PicoSure tattoo removal safe for all skin types?
PicoSure is safe for most skin types, but during your consultation, we will assess your skin type and medical history to ensure PicoSure is the right treatment for you.
What happens if I miss a treatment session?
If you miss a treatment session, it’s best to reschedule as soon as possible. Delaying treatments can slow the overall progress of the tattoo removal.
Does PicoSure tattoo removal leave scars?
While PicoSure tattoo removal is designed to minimize the risk of scarring, some people may still experience scarring, especially if they have a history of keloid or hypertrophic scarring. Following our post-treatment care instructions can help reduce the risk of scarring.
PicoSure vs Other Tattoo Removal Methods
When it comes to tattoo removal, it’s important to understand that not all methods are created equal. While traditional tattoo removal techniques have been around for some time, PicoSure represents a significant advancement in the field.
PicoSure
PicoSure is the worldโs first picosecond laser for tattoo removal. Using PressureWave technology, PicoSure delivers ultra-short pulses of energy to the skin, effectively shattering tattoo ink into minuscule particles that are then eliminated by the body.
Advantages of PicoSure:
- Efficiency: PicoSure can often remove tattoos in fewer sessions than other methods due to its unique technology.
- Range of Colors: PicoSure effectively removes a broad range of tattoo ink colors, including blues and greens which are typically harder to remove.
- Less Discomfort: PicoSure relies on pressure changes rather than heat, potentially causing less discomfort during treatment.
- Reduced Risk of Scarring: PicoSure’s non-thermal technology lowers the risk of scarring and skin damage compared to traditional laser tattoo removal methods.
Traditional Laser Tattoo Removal
Traditional laser tattoo removal uses Q-switched lasers that emit heat into the skin to break down tattoo ink.
Disadvantages of Traditional Laser Tattoo Removal:
- More Treatments Required: Traditional laser removal generally requires more sessions compared to PicoSure.
- Difficulty Removing Certain Colors: Traditional lasers may have difficulty removing certain tattoo colors, such as blues and greens.
- Potential for More Discomfort: Traditional lasers rely on heat, which can cause more discomfort during treatment.
- Higher Risk of Scarring: The heat generated by traditional lasers can increase the risk of scarring and skin damage.
Alternative Methods
Alternative methods such as dermabrasion, salabrasion, and tattoo removal creams are also available but are generally less effective and can carry more risk. Dermabrasion involves sanding down the skin, which can be painful and carries a high risk of scarring. Salabrasion, which uses salt to rub away layers of skin, also carries a high risk of scarring and infection. Tattoo removal creams claim to fade tattoos over time, but the results are often minimal and the chemicals used can cause skin irritation. In comparison, PicoSure is a safer and more effective solution for tattoo removal. Its innovative technology targets the tattoo ink directly, resulting in efficient and comprehensive removal with reduced risk of side effects.
We look forward to helping you achieve your tattoo removal goals with PicoSure.
Pricing Information
While the cost of PicoSure Tattoo Removal can vary depending on the size, color, and location of the tattoo, our pricing typically ranges from $200-$600. Please contact us for a more detailed quote.
Post-Care Instructions
After your PicoSure Tattoo Removal treatment, it is important to take certain steps to ensure optimal healing.
