Tattoo Removal

Tattoo Removal PiQo4

PiQo4 laser provides maximum tattoo removal while leaving the surrounding skin unharmed.  PiQo4 laser can remove professional and amateur tattoos. 

A picosecond laser emits optical pulses with extremely short duration of between 1 picosecond and some tens of picoseconds. The nature of picosecond lasers allows for absorption of wave pulses that generate a brief and precise photo-thermal effect within the targeted area – alongside ultra-structural and intrinsic chemical modifications in association with rapid changes in volume. This is also called photo-acoustic effect, for the popping sound it creates. By passing these waves through the skin in the area of the tattoo or pigmentation, the laser breaks the ink particles – leading to chemical and structural changes in the skin, thus allowing the particles to fracture, and be disposed of by our own body’s lymphatic system.
