Is It True That A Picosecond Instrument Can Remove Tattoos in Just over Ten Minutes?


In the era of pursuing individuality, tattoos have become a way for many people to express themselves. But as life changes, some people want to say goodbye to tattoos. At this time, picosecond instruments came into everyone's view, and some people even said that it can remove tattoos in just over ten minutes. Is this true? Today, let's take a deep look at picosecond tattoo removal.


What exactly is picosecond?


Picosecond is actually a unit of time, 1 picosecond is equal to one trillionth of a second. The laser pulse emitted by the picosecond instrument can release energy in a very short time, quickly and accurately breaking the pigment particles into smaller particles, and then excreting them from the body with human metabolism, greatly reducing the thermal damage to the surrounding normal skin tissue.


Does it really only take more than ten minutes?

Generally speaking, a single picosecond tattoo removal may take about ten minutes, which mainly depends on the area and complexity of the tattoo

If the tattoo area is small and the pattern is simple, it may take about ten minutes to complete a treatment. But if it is a large-area, colorful and complex tattoo, the treatment time may be extended to about twenty minutes. However, the ten minutes mentioned here is only the time for a single treatment. If you want to completely remove the tattoo, it will not be done in one time.


Factors such as the color and depth of the tattoo and the individual's metabolic rate will affect the number of times the picosecond tattoo is removed and the final effect. For example, black and blue tattoos are relatively easy to remove because the specific wavelength of the picosecond laser can be better absorbed by the pigments of these colors. However, colored tattoos such as red and green are more difficult to treat and may require more treatments.

If the tattoo penetrates deep into the skin, it will also take multiple treatments to completely break up the deep pigments.


Postoperative care


After the picosecond tattoo is removed, the skin will have some reactions. When it is just finished, the treated area may be red and swollen. This is a normal phenomenon. You can apply burn cream or ice to reduce the redness and swelling. Afterwards, during the recovery period, strict care should be taken. For example:


  • Do not wash your face with raw water for 1-5 days after surgery to avoid bacterial infection. Only rinse with clean water after scabs form;

  • Do not remove scabs with your hands. After 7-10 days, you can use facial cleanser to gently cleanse your face;

  • Pay attention to diet. Avoid spicy and stimulating alcohol within 1 week;

  • Pay attention to hydration and sun protection. Physical sun protection is recommended.

    (Because the skin is more sensitive at this time, ultraviolet rays can easily cause pigmentation, affecting the effect of tattoo removal)


Contraindications


Although the picosecond instrument is effective in tattoo removal, it is not suitable for everyone. For example:

  • people with scar constitution

  • People with inflammation and infection of the skin

  • Pregnant women and breastfeeding women


The statement that picosecond instruments can remove tattoos in more than ten minutes is only half right. Its single treatment time may be shorter, but it takes multiple treatments to completely remove the tattoo. Before deciding to use picosecond tattoo removal, you must go to a regular medical institution or beauty institution, consult a professional doctor, and understand your own situation and treatment plan, so that you can say goodbye to the tattoo smoothly under the premise of safety.
