An effective and modern solution for fading and removing unwanted tattoos
PicoLO picosecond laser tattoo removal represents one of the most advanced technologies currently available for the targeted breakdown of tattoo pigments.
The goal of the treatment is to fragment the pigment particles into microscopic pieces that can gradually be eliminated by the body’s natural lymphatic system.
At Wellmed Beauty, treatments are based on personalized skin and tattoo diagnostics, as the color, depth, age, and location of the tattoo all influence the final outcome.

Why Is Picosecond Laser the Most Effective Technology for Tattoo Removal?
The picosecond laser delivers extremely short pulses that create primarily a photoacoustic (mechanical) effect rather than thermal destruction.
This means:
- more effective pigment fragmentation
- reduced thermal damage to surrounding tissues
- faster skin regeneration
- lower risk of scarring
How Does PicoLO Laser Tattoo Removal Work?
Using ultra-short picosecond pulses, high-energy and highly precise laser impulses are directed at the tattooed skin.
The surrounding tissue is exposed to minimal thermal stress, while the pigment particles break down into microscopic fragments. These fragments are then naturally removed by the body over time.
Different wavelengths allow targeted treatment of various tattoo colors.
Why Is PicoLO Tattoo Removal Better Than Traditional Laser Methods?
- pigment particles are fragmented into much smaller particles than with conventional lasers
- more effective for stubborn, older, or multicolored tattoos
- fewer treatment sessions are usually required
- lower risk of scarring or pigment irregularities
- cleaner skin surface after treatment
- improved aesthetic results
- greater comfort during the treatment process
Which Types of Tattoos Can Be Treated?
Picosecond laser technology is suitable for:
- removal of black tattoos
- fading of colored tattoos
- treatment of both old and new tattoos
- removal of cosmetic tattoos (permanent makeup)
- preparation for tattoo cover-up procedures
How Does It Differ from Traditional Tattoo
Removal?
| Traditional Lasers | PicoLO Picosecond Laser |
| longer pulse duration | picosecond pulses |
| higher thermal effect | minimal thermal impact |
| often requires 8–12 sessions | visible results in about 4–6 sessions |
| higher risk of scarring | minimal risk of additional scarring |
How Many Treatments Are Needed?
The number of treatments depends on several individual factors:
- tattoo size
- pigment color and density
- skin type
- age of the tattoo
- circulation in the treated area
Generally:
- 4–10 treatments
- performed at 6–8 week intervals
The body needs time to naturally eliminate the fragmented pigment particles.
What Is the Recovery Process Like?
- mild redness or swelling may occur
- small blisters may occasionally appear
- the skin usually calms down within a few days
- following aftercare instructions is essential
Proper aftercare plays a key role in achieving optimal results.
Why Is Professional Tattoo Removal Important?
Using inappropriate technology or overly aggressive treatment methods may lead to:
- scarring
- pigment irregularities
- permanent skin damage
Professional expertise and advanced technology are therefore essential for safe and effective tattoo removal.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is picosecond laser tattoo removal painful?
During treatment, a snapping or tingling sensation may occur, but it is generally well tolerated.
Cooling or topical numbing can be applied if needed to increase comfort.
Can a tattoo be completely removed with picosecond laser treatment?
In most cases, yes. However, the final outcome depends on the tattoo type and the skin’s individual response. In some cases, deeper scar tissue formed during the original tattooing process may remain visible even after the pigment has been removed.
Can all colors be removed?
Black pigments respond the best to laser treatment. Colored pigments can also be effectively faded using picosecond technology.
Will the treatment leave marks on the skin?
When performed professionally and combined with proper aftercare, the risk of scarring is minimal.
