Why Choose PicoWay® for Tattoo Removal?
Laser tattoo removal requires a precise, controlled approach, and PicoWay® is designed to deliver exactly that. PicoWay® is a picosecond laser that delivers ultra-short pulses of energy in trillionths of a second. Rather than relying primarily on heat, it generates a powerful photoacoustic effect that breaks tattoo ink into microscopic particles, which the body’s natural immune system can gradually clear over time. This mechanism allows targeted treatment of tattoo pigment while keeping the integrity of the surrounding skin.
What Ink Colors Can PicoWay® Treat?
As a leading option for PicoWay® tattoo removal, we can address a wide spectrum of colors, including:
- Black and dark blue
- Green and teal
- Purple and violet
- Red, orange, and brown
Because different ink colors absorb laser energy at different wavelengths, some colors may require additional sessions to achieve the desired level of fading. A full evaluation of your tattoo will be conducted during your consultation to develop the most appropriate, customized treatment plan.
What Types of Tattoos Can Be Treated?
Professional Tattoos
Professional tattoos often contain dense, deeply placed pigment and may require multiple treatment sessions to achieve significant fading or removal.
Amateur Tattoos
Amateur tattoos often respond more quickly due to shallower pigment placement and lower ink density than professional work.
Cosmetic Tattoos
Eyebrow tattoos, microblading pigment, and other cosmetic tattoo pigments may be treatable using specialized protocols tailored to the unique composition of cosmetic inks.
Cover-Up Preparation
Many patients choose tattoo fading treatment to lighten an existing tattoo before receiving new artwork, creating a cleaner foundation for a future cover-up design.
How the Treatment Process Works
Step 1: Consultation
Your provider evaluates your tattoo based on size, location, ink colors, age, skin type, and your desired outcome. A personalized treatment plan is developed specifically around your individual goals and tattoo characteristics.
Step 2: PicoWay® Treatment
Laser energy is delivered precisely to the tattoo pigment. The photoacoustic effect fragments the pigment into tiny particles that are then gradually processed and cleared by your body’s natural immune response over the following weeks.
Step 3: Healing and Fading
As your body continues to clear the fragmented pigment, the tattoo progressively becomes lighter with each treatment session. Most patients notice gradual, visible fading between sessions, with results continuing to improve over time.
Advanced Tattoo Removal Before & After
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
The number of sessions required for tattoo removal varies based on several individual factors, including:
- Tattoo size and location
- Age of the tattoo and ink density
- Ink color composition
- Individual skin type and healing response
- Desired degree of removal or fading
Some tattoos respond more quickly than others. Most patients require a series of treatments to achieve their desired outcome, and a fully personalized plan will be discussed during your initial consultation at KOCO Medical Aesthetics.
Is PicoWay® Tattoo Removal Safe?
PicoWay® technology is designed to target tattoo pigment while minimizing unnecessary thermal exposure to the surrounding tissue. Temporary redness, swelling, frosting, and mild crusting may occur following treatment and are considered part of the normal healing process. Your provider will review all risks, benefits, and aftercare instructions thoroughly before treatment begins. Results may vary based on individual skin type, tattoo characteristics, and healing response.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does tattoo removal with PicoWay® hurt?
Most patients describe the sensation as comparable to a rubber band snapping against the skin, and comfort measures are available to help improve the overall treatment experience. Your provider will discuss all available options to support your comfort before the session begins.
Can all tattoos be completely removed?
Many tattoos can be significantly faded or removed, though results vary based on the tattoo’s ink composition, color, age, and your individual healing response. A consultation at KOCO Medical Aesthetics will enable us to set realistic expectations based on your specific tattoo characteristics.
How long should I wait between tattoo removal sessions?
Most sessions are spaced approximately six to eight weeks apart to permit your body adequate time to clear the fragmented pigment between treatments. Your provider will confirm the recommended interval based on your individual healing progress and treatment plan.
Can I get a cover-up tattoo after PicoWay® treatments?
Yes, many patients undergo a series of PicoWay® sessions to lighten an existing tattoo before receiving new artwork from a tattoo artist. Your provider at KOCO Medical Aesthetics can help determine how many fading sessions may be needed to achieve an appropriate base for your cover-up design.
How many sessions will I need for complete tattoo removal?
The total number of sessions varies based on tattoo size, ink density, color, age, location, and individual skin type, making it difficult to predict an exact number without a thorough consultation. Most patients need a sequence of treatments spaced several weeks apart, and a fully personalized plan will be developed during your initial visit to KOCO Medical Aesthetics.
