Laser tattoo removal works by sending quick, powerful pulses of light into the skin to break up the tattoo ink. Once the ink particles are shattered into tiny fragments, your body does the rest — clearing them out naturally through your immune system over time. It’s a gradual process, but it works.

Even with the Discovery Pico’s advanced tech, tattoo removal is a staged process. That’s because:

• Ink is placed at different depths in the dermis

• Each session removes the most accessible ink; deeper ink becomes reachable later

• Your immune system needs time to process and clear fragmented pigment

• Healing time between sessions ensures skin recovery and prevents complications

Most clients need between 6–12 sessions, depending on tattoo age, colour, location, ink density, and individual immune response.

Spacing treatments 6–8 weeks apart allows for:

• Ink clearance via the lymphatic system

• Skin healing and collagen remodelling

• Reduced risk of scarring or pigment changes
