What to Expect Before and After Tattoo Removal

At LCS Medical Spa, we offer advanced tattoo removal treatments using the latest Pico laser technology to safely and effectively fade or remove unwanted tattoos. Pico laser is one of the most advanced methods available today, providing highly targeted and precise treatment with minimal discomfort. Our experienced specialists assess your skin type, tattoo size, and ink colors to create a personalized treatment plan that ensures optimal results.

The Pico laser works by emitting ultra-short pulses of energy that break down tattoo ink into smaller fragments, allowing your body’s natural immune system to gradually remove the ink. Unlike traditional lasers, the Pico laser delivers faster pulses, leading to less heat buildup, reduced discomfort, and quicker healing times. This makes it an ideal choice for a variety of tattoos, including those with stubborn or multi-colored pigments.

Multiple sessions are usually required to achieve the best results, with the number of treatments depending on factors such as the tattoo’s age, size, and ink type. During your consultation, we will discuss your treatment plan, explain what to expect, and provide aftercare instructions to ensure proper healing and minimize side effects. With Pico laser technology, tattoo removal is not only effective but also more comfortable, making it the gold standard in the industry.

Tattoo removal can be safely and effectively performed on all skin types with personalized care. At LCS Medical Spa, we use advanced Pico laser technology, which is highly versatile and designed to treat a wide range of skin tones while minimizing risks.

Pico lasers deliver ultra-short pulses of energy that break down tattoo ink into tiny particles, allowing the body to clear the pigment naturally. This technology offers precise control over wavelength and pulse duration, enabling our specialists to customize treatments based on your specific skin type, tattoo colors, and location. For lighter skin tones, Pico laser treatments often yield faster results with minimal side effects. For darker skin tones, the Pico laser’s gentle yet effective action helps reduce the risk of pigment changes, scarring, or irritation, making it a preferred choice for safe tattoo removal across diverse skin types.

Our expert team carefully adjusts the Pico laser settings for each session, ensuring optimal ink clearance while protecting your skin’s natural pigmentation. This tailored approach at LCS Medical Spa helps achieve clear, smooth skin with minimal downtime and excellent cosmetic outcomes.

At LCS Medical Spa, we use advanced Pico laser technology for tattoo removal, and proper preparation is key to ensuring a safe and effective treatment. Before your session, you’ll have a personalized consultation with our experienced specialists who will assess your tattoo, skin type, and medical history to customize the Pico laser settings for optimal results.

In the weeks leading up to your appointment, avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, and self-tanning products, as these can affect your skin’s healing and increase the risk of side effects. Inform our team if you are taking medications such as blood thinners or anti-inflammatory drugs, so we can advise you accordingly.

On the day of treatment, wear loose, comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the tattooed area. Arrive with clean skin, free from lotions or makeup. To maximize comfort during the Pico laser session, we may apply a topical numbing cream or other pain-relief methods. Protective eyewear will be provided to shield your eyes during the procedure.

Our specialists at LCS Medical Spa will guide you through every step, answering your questions to ensure you feel confident and prepared for your Pico laser tattoo removal journey.

At LCS Medical Spa, we use advanced Pico laser technology for tattoo removal, and we prioritize personalized care throughout your healing journey. Healing time after Pico laser treatment can vary based on your skin type, tattoo size, and ink density, treatment intensity, and individual healing ability. Typically, the initial healing phase lasts about one to two weeks. During this time, mild redness, swelling, blistering, scabbing, or crusting may appear—these are normal signs that your skin is responding well to the Pico laser treatment.

Full healing generally takes several additional weeks as your skin gradually regenerates and returns to its natural state. Our experienced specialists provide detailed aftercare instructions tailored to your skin’s needs, which are essential for optimizing healing and results.

Multiple Pico laser sessions are usually needed to remove a tattoo completely, with several weeks between treatments to allow proper skin recovery. Our team carefully monitors your progress after each session to ensure safe, effective removal.

To support healing, avoid sun exposure, swimming, hot tubs, and activities that cause excessive sweating. Maintain good hygiene and protect the treated area to minimize complications. If you experience prolonged discomfort or unusual symptoms, contact LCS Medical Spa promptly for expert guidance and care.
