Coloured tattoo removal: the power of Pico laser technology

Coloured tattoos are a great way to express yourself, but sometimes we simply grow up, our taste changes or we just get a little tired of them. In the past, removing a coloured tattoo, especially in light colours such as yellow or green, was really difficult.

Today, everything has changed thanks to Pico laser technology. It allows us to remove tattoos effectively, safely and quickly, even if they are complex or very colourful.

At the Dermacare clinic, we use the PicoPulse device – the most advanced Pico laser technology in Israel. This device helps us achieve amazing results in fewer treatments.

Tattoo removal with Pico laser technology is more than just an aesthetic treatment – it frees you from the weight of the past. With experience from more than 80,000 treatments at Dermacare clinics in Austria, we bring life-changing expertise and technology to Israel.

What is Pico laser technology?

Pico laser technology uses extremely short pulses, measured in picoseconds (trillionths of a second), to break down ink particles in the skin. The PicoPulse at the Dermacare clinic, the leader in Israel, combines four wavelengths (1064, 532, 585, 650 nm), allowing treatment of almost all tattoo colours, including stubborn shades. Unlike traditional lasers, which use heat, the Pico laser creates a mechanical shock wave that breaks the ink down into tiny particles, which the body eliminates naturally. The result is effective removal with less risk of scarring or burns.

How do the treatments work?

Pico laser tattoo removal treatments begin with a professional assessment of the tattoo – its colours, size, ink depth, location, the age of the tattoo and so on. During treatment, the PicoPulse directs a precise laser beam at the ink and breaks it down without harming the surrounding skin. The fast pulses reduce heat, which makes the process safer. After treatment, the body begins to clear the ink particles, and the results appear gradually. Our professional team at the Dermacare clinic is here to tailor the treatment to you personally and under medical supervision, with results that start to show from the very first session.

Advantages over traditional lasers

Pico laser offers significant advantages over traditional lasers such as Q-Switched. It requires up to 30% fewer treatments, thanks to its ability to break ink down into smaller particles that are eliminated faster. In addition, it is particularly effective against light colours such as red, yellow and green, which used to be almost impossible to remove. The short pulses reduce the risk of side effects, such as pigmentation changes, and allow faster recovery. At Dermacare, the PicoPulse maximises these advantages and positions us as leaders in the field in Israel.

Who are the treatments suitable for?

Pico laser treatments are suitable for anyone who wants to remove tattoos, whether black, coloured, amateur or professional. They are ideal for people who regret a tattoo, want to update a design or need clear skin for personal or professional reasons. The treatments are safe for most skin types, although dark skin requires adjustments to prevent pigmentation changes. Our team at the Dermacare clinic will first carry out a preliminary examination to tailor the treatment to your needs, while maintaining safety and effectiveness.

Number of treatments and price factors

The number of treatments depends on the size of the tattoo, its colours, the depth of the ink, its age and how the body responds to removal. Black tattoos may require 5-10 treatments, while coloured tattoos may require 6-12. PicoPulse technology reduces the number of treatments compared with traditional lasers. The price varies according to criteria such as:

• Tattoo size: large tattoos require a longer treatment time, which increases the cost.
• Colours and complexity: coloured or deep tattoos require more treatments, which affects the overall price.

Treatment packages can reduce the overall cost. A consultation therefore allows us to give you an accurate quote.

Preparing for treatment and how painful it is

Proper preparation is essential for successful treatments. The Dermacare team provides precise instructions:

• Avoid sun exposure for 30 days before and after treatment, and use SPF 50.
• Stop using creams containing retinol or acids 5 days before treatment.
• Tell us about any medication or medical conditions that may affect the treatment.

The treatment is accompanied by a mild stinging or burning sensation, but the PicoPulse reduces pain compared with other lasers. We offer numbing creams and skin cooling for maximum comfort. After treatment, there may be mild redness or swelling, which will pass within a day or two.

Aftercare tips

To maintain the results of your treatments, follow these recommendations:

• Apply a soothing moisturiser to the treated area.
• Avoid scratching or peeling the skin in the treated area.
• Keep using SPF 50 sunscreen for sun protection.
