Before booking your PicoSure tattoo removal in Essex, let’s have a look at what PicoSure is and what the benefits are for using this process on your unwanted tattoos.
The science bit!
Advances in technology means that the theory that any tattoo you may have will be permanent, is no longer the case.
Prior to the development of laser tattoo removal, attempts to remove tattoos used to be excision, dermabrasion, cryosurgery, salabrasion – rubbing salt and water into the tattoo and using an abrasive object to rub away the upper layers of the skin – and trichloroacetic acid (TCS).
Unsurprisingly, a lot of these procedures came with side effects, which is something you don’t need to worry about with PicoSure tattoo removal! Using picosecond pulses, the PicoSure laser can target the macrophages – specialised, immune cells found in the dermis (connective tissue layer sandwiched between the epidermis and subcutaneous tissue) – and consumes the ‘injured cells’, so when the macrophages die, the tattoo will fade over time as there are few pigments to swallow up.
PicoSure tattoo removal in Essex is entirely safe and uses pulses of energy that penetrates the skin and is absorbed by the ink of the tattoo and, as the tattoo ink particles absorb the energy, they heat up and then shatter into tiny fragments.
In the weeks that follow, the body’s immune system flushes the tattoo ink particles away from the place of the tattoo, which results in appearance of the tattoo lightening.
Each treatment you undergo will see the tattoo become lighter and lighter until eventually, it will disappear!
