How much does PicoWay tattoo removal cost?

Pricing varies based on the size, color, and complexity of your tattoo. A consultation is required for accurate pricing — during your visit, we’ll evaluate your tattoo and provide a personalized treatment plan and quote. We also offer discounted packages when you purchase a series of 6 treatments. Ask about financing options during your consultation.

Does tattoo removal hurt?

Most patients describe the sensation as similar to having a rubber band snapped against the skin. To enhance comfort, we can apply a topical anesthetic cream or provide a local injection before your treatment. In clinical studies, the majority of patients reported mild to no discomfort.

What can I expect after treatment?

Most patients can return to their regular activities right after treatment. The most common side effects include mild redness and swelling, which typically resolve within a few days. You may need to keep the treatment area covered with a bandage and dry for a few days to support healing.

What tattoo colors can PicoWay remove?

PicoWay® clears a wide range of tattoo ink colors, including black, brown, blue, green, purple, red, yellow, and orange — even traditionally tough-to-remove blue and green inks.

How long until I see results?

You may notice fading after just one treatment, but full clearance takes multiple sessions over several months as your body absorbs and clears the shattered ink particles.

What precautions should I take after treatment?

Avoid sun exposure on the treated area and use sunblock with SPF 30 or greater. Don’t scrub or rinse the area with abrasive cleansers in the first few days. Your provider will give you complete pre- and post-treatment care instructions.

Are there side effects?

Common side effects include mild redness, swelling, or temporary skin lightening, which typically resolve within a few days. Your provider will discuss any risks specific to your skin and tattoo before treatment.

Are tattoo removal treatments covered by insurance?

Most insurance companies do not offer reimbursement for cosmetic procedures, including tattoo removal. Consult your insurance carrier for conclusive information.

Can I remove just part of a tattoo for a cover-up?

Yes — PicoWay® can be used to fade a tattoo enough to make a cover-up easier, or to remove specific sections. Discuss your goals with your provider during your consultation.
