Good candidates for Tattoo Removal are individuals with unwanted tattoos they wish to fade or entirely remove. The treatment is adequate for most skin types and tones and can address tattoos of various colors, including those previously resistant to removal. A consultation with a specialist will help determine if PiQo4 is suitable for you.
Results often begin to appear within the first few sessions. However, complete removal may require 4-6 sessions spaced about 6-8 weeks apart, depending on the tattoo’s color, depth, and age. Some patients with complex tattoos may need up to 10 sessions for optimal results.
Results are generally long-lasting, as the ink particles broken down by the laser are naturally cleared away by the body. Once the tattoo is removed, it should not return. However, proper aftercare is essential to support effective healing and avoid complications.
Tattoo Removal requires minimal downtime. Patients may experience temporary redness, swelling, or a mild sunburn-like sensation, which typically resolves within a few hours to days. Proper aftercare will be provided to minimize side effects and ensure smooth recovery.
Before Tattoo Removal, avoid sun exposure in the treatment area and inform your provider of any medications you take. After the session, keep the treated area clean and moisturized, avoid direct sunlight, and follow any specific aftercare instructions to ensure optimal healing.
During Tattoo Removal, the laser emits energy pulses to break down ink particles without harming the surrounding skin. Patients may feel mild discomfort, similar to a rubber band snap, but most find it manageable. The session length depends on the tattoo size and color complexity, and a numbing agent can be applied if needed.
