Is Tattoo Removal Painful?

Brunette,Asian,Woman,With,Tattoo,On,Back,Touching,Ponytail,Isolated These days, tattoo removal is still associated with a certain mild discomfort. After all, tattoos were designed to be permanent, and you’re having them removed from your body. However, tattoo removal techniques have come a long way, even compared to as recently as a decade ago.

If you ask someone who had a tattoo removed in their youth whether you can expect pain, they would probably say “yes.” However, their expectations may not align with what the modern experience has to offer. Here’s what you can expect from tattoo removal with PicoSure™ at Farrell Plastic Surgery & Laser Center, P.C. 

What To Expect From Tattoo Removal

One of the most important things to understand is that with a technique like PicoSure™, you’re dealing with far less pain and discomfort than you would with alternative methods. When people think about tattoo removal, they normally call to mind the types of “old school” techniques used for decades. Thankfully, technology has advanced quite a bit, and PicoSure™ is one example of that.

PicoSure™ is a process that sends picosecond pulses of energy to your skin, allowing the tattoo removal professional to focus on the ink and avoid causing damage to the surrounding skin. Not only is this a big part of why the process is more comfortable for patients, but it’s also why it can remove blue and green inks better than other tools.
