Cosmetic Tattoo Removal

PicoWay uses ultra-fast laser pulses to break down the pigment of your eyebrow tattoo into smaller particles, which are then naturally eliminated by your body over time. It targets the tattoo ink without damaging surrounding skin.

The number of sessions varies depending on the size, color, and age of the tattoo. Typically, it takes between 3 to 10 sessions spaced 6-8 weeks apart for optimal results.

Most clients describe the sensation as a mild snap or pinch. The GentleMax Pro Plus uses advanced cooling technology to enhance comfort during the procedure.

A typical session takes under 5 minutes of actual treatment time.

Yes, PicoWay is FDA-cleared and safe for all skin types. It is a non-invasive procedure with minimal risk of scarring when proper aftercare is followed.

After the treatment, you may experience redness, swelling, or a mild sunburn-like sensation in the treated area. These effects typically subside within a few hours to a few days.

Initial fading of the tattoo may be visible after the first session, but significant results are usually seen after several treatments as the tattoo progressively lightens.

Side effects are rare but may include temporary redness, swelling, or blistering. Following proper aftercare instructions helps reduce the risk of complications

PicoWay is effective on a wide range of brow tattoo ink colors, including difficult colors like blue and green. However, results may vary based on the tattoo's color, depth, and type of ink used.

Yes, you can resume most activities right away. However, it is important to avoid sun exposure and intense physical activity for the first 48 hours after the treatment.

Most people are candidates for PicoWay, but a consultation with your provider is necessary to determine if you’re a good fit based on your skin type, tattoo characteristics, and medical history.

Anyone looking to permanently remove or fade eyebrow tattoos.  

Generally, we would wait 1.5 months in order to allow the brows to be fully healed before removal. Once healed treatment can be  done once every 6 weeks.

Yes, a patch test is required, we will need to see the reaction of the ink with our laser

No, we require protective eyewear to be worn the entire session.

We can safely remove microblading, ombré, powder, nano and/or combination brows (this depends on type of ink used as ink can go darker).  

No need to shave the existing hair.

Hair follicles will not be damaged, and the pigment of the tattoo will lift without burning or scarring the skin. The pulse of a Picoway  laser is too short to affect the hair follicle. Cosmetic tattoo removal is completely safe with natural hair production.

When the hair is darker, there is a higher chance the Picoway laser may pull some pigment and the hair turn white, this is completely  natural and temporary as it does not damage the follicle. We do our best to work around the hair. Hairs will not fall out due to the  laser treatment. We recommend not to tint eyebrow hair between treatments.  

Avoid make-up for 48 -72 hours to decrease the chance of infection, however if brows are still blistered or tender, do not apply make up until it is healed.

This is optional. If you decide to use numbing cream; we would recommend applying numbing prior to your arrival (the cream must  have time to set and take effect, refer to the directions on product). We will remove the numbing cream once you are in your appointment.  

No. We use the Gentlemax ProPlus for Hair removal and the PicoWay for tattoo removal

Some people find that applying a mixture of castor oil and aloe vera gel nightly can enhance brow growth and strengthen hair.

Laser tattoo removal works by a concentrated light being pulsated into the pigments of the tattoo, breaking it up into particles. The  pigment then breaks down and the body’s immune system removes it.  

It can feel like a rubber band snapping against your skin. Each pulse treats an area approximately the size of a pencil eraser. Even with numbing cream you can still feel the sensation.  

You might experience some redness and temporary discoloration or lightening of the area that was treated. The skin will however  return to its original skin tone in the weeks following your eyebrow tattoo removal treatment.   

The surrounding skin is not affected by the treatment: epidermal and dermal cells are not destroyed and stay viable. The risk of  permanent scarring is estimated to be less than 2% in published studies and is usually observed as a loss of some pigmentation or a change in the texture of the skin.

Immediately after the treated area turns white like a frosting and will be red and swell slightly. This frosting usually fades within  twenty minutes. The redness and swelling can last for up to 48 hours. Keeping the skin cool and dry for the first day or two is the best  way to speed up the healing process (apply an ice pack in 15-minute intervals to the treated area). Over the next several days, blisters may  form and then a scab or a thin crust can follow. (Often the scab is the same color as the tattoo because the superficial tattoo ink has been  eliminated into the scab). The skin usually returns to normal in about 7 to 10 days [after the redness and swelling subside they may still  look the same at this point].  

Yes, in most cases. Greater than 95% of the tattoo may be eliminated. However, it is very important to know that over 100 multi colored tattoo inks are in use today. Not knowing what type of tattoo ink, how deep or how much ink has been put in, makes it  impossible for one to predict the exact percentage of removal on any given tattoo. It can take up to 6 weeks to see the results from the  1st session.  

Simple eyebrow tattoos often take only a handful of sessions spaced 6-8 weeks apart. May vary from 3 to 10 sessions. The number of  treatments it will take to remove a cosmetic tattoo depends heavily on the type of tattoo, the patient’s skin, and the ink color and  type used. 

We advise those who have fresh facial tattoos to wait 1.5 months to have a removal done as fresher ink reacts differently to lasers and  can be much harder to remove.

You need to consult your Brow artist 

Not all cosmetic tattoos are the same, during a free consultation, we evaluate the tattoo and the medical history and medications of each client along with their skin type, the color of ink, with depth and density of the cosmetic tattoo to determine if it’s safe to perform a test spot.

No sun exposure and make sure you apply sunscreen always between treatments. Drink lots of fluids. 

DEPTH: Ink is injected into the dermis, below the skin, where it’s harder to remove.  

INK PARTICLE SIZE: The bigger the ink particle size, the harder it is to remove a tattoo. Traditional laser tattoo removal can be used to  break up ink particles making them easier for the body to carry away, but sometimes the remaining ink particles are still too large,  even after multiple laser treatments.  

COLOR: While dark blues, blacks and red are easy to treat, other colors such as oranges, purples and yellows can be more difficult to  remove.  

SKIN TONE: With most lasers, darker skin tones are harder to treat because too much energy can be absorbed into the skin rather  than the targeted ink particles. Not only does this weaken the results, it also increases the risk of injury.  

Cosmetic tattoos are done with pigments that are smaller molecules that are less saturated than a regular tattoo. Pigments contain  iron oxides and a carrier liquid like glycerin or water. Application of brows and SMP (scalp micro pigmentation) are applied more  superficially.
