Laser Tattoo Removal Technology.
How Laser Tattoo Removal Works with the Quanta Discovery Pico.
At Piko Laser Tattoo Removal, we use the Quanta Discovery Pico, one of the most advanced and versatile tattoo removal systems in the world. This medical-grade laser has three different wavelengths to target different tattoo colours, and combines both picosecond and nanosecond (or Q-Switched) technology in a single platform. That means we can tailor every treatment to your tattoo for safer, faster, and more effective results.
Nanosecond pulses (measured in billionths of a second) are excellent at breaking up larger, older ink particles. Picosecond pulses (measured in trillionths of a second) create a stronger photoacoustic effect, shattering stubborn pigment clusters into dust-like fragments. By combining these two approaches, the Discovery Pico can treat everything from simple black tattoos to complex, multi-coloured designs with high precision and efficiency.
Once the ink is fragmented by the laser, you may see a temporary whitening or hazing effect on the skin called “frosting”. This is a normal response caused by gas bubbles forming and rising to the surface as the ink particles shatter. This will usually subside within 15-20 minutes.
Once the laser treatment is finished, your body’s immune system takes over. Special cells called macrophages collect the tiny ink particles and gradually carry them away through the lymphatic system. Because this process takes time, treatments are spaced at least 8 weeks apart. With each session, the tattoo continues to fade more until it’s light enough for a cover-up or disappears completely.
The End Result: Quanta + Fractional Laser + Cryo Cooling + LED Light Therapy = Better, Faster Results
Every tattoo and every skin type is unique, so the removal journey will differ for each person. Factors like the age of the tattoo, ink colours, depth, and your own healing response all play a role. With the power of the Quanta Discovery Pico, enhanced safety from fractional pre-treatment, and comfort from Zimmer Cryo 7 cooling, we offer one of the most effective and patient-friendly tattoo removal experiences available today.
Enhancing Treatment with Fractional Laser.
After the laser tattoo removal, we may use a multi-level fractional skin stimulation laser treatment. Read more here.
Comfort with Zimmer Cryo 7 Cooling.
Laser tattoo removal can be uncomfortable, but we make the process much easier with the Zimmer Cryo 7 cooling system. Read more here.
Advanced Healing with LED Light Therapy.
LED light therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses specific wavelengths of light to support the skin’s natural healing processes by trigging biological responses that help calm inflammation, repair tissue, and speed up recovery after laser tattoo removal.
When combined with tattoo removal, LED becomes a genuinely valuable adjuvant. The laser breaks down pigment; LED helps your body to eliminate the ink particles faster. Better circulation and lymphatic function, and more efficient cellular function all work in your favour. It’s a simple, painless add-on with no downtime — and it often makes the whole healing process feel smoother and more manageable. Read more here.
