Using the PicoSure® Pro to deliver energy to the targeted area which breaks up tattoo ink into tiny particles – these particles are then absorbed and naturally removed by your body through your lymphatic system. Unlike other lasers, PicoSure® Pro uses pressure instead of heat to provide tattoo removals on black, blue, and green ink safely and effectively by delivering this powerful energy in extremely short picosecond pulses, PicoSure® Pro can effectively target and shatter even the most resistant tattoo pigment.
Your tattoo removal treatment at Velour Laser begins with a personalized consultation to assess your tattoo, skin type, and treatment goals. This allows us to create a customized treatment plan and set realistic expectations. During treatment, the area is cleansed and protective eyewear is provided. Advanced laser technology is used to target tattoo ink while protecting the surrounding skin. For added comfort, we use a Zimmer cooling system, which blows cold air onto the skin during treatment to help minimize discomfort. Treatments are typically quick, depending on the size of the tattoo. After treatment, mild redness or swelling is normal. Over the following weeks, your body naturally breaks down and removes the ink. Multiple sessions are required, spaced several weeks apart, for optimal results. Our experienced team is always available to support you before and after your treatment.
We use the PicoSure Pro laser, the gold standard for tattoo removal, because it shatters ink into ultra-fine particles that clear from the body faster than traditional lasers. It’s highly effective on even stubborn inks while being gentle on the skin, leading to better fading with fewer treatments.
Tattoo removal usually requires multiple treatments spaced 6–8 weeks apart, with the number depending on factors like ink type, size, location, and lifestyle. Results appear gradually, often visible 2–3 weeks after the first session, and improve with each treatment. During your consultation, our team will create a personalized plan to determine how many sessions you’ll need for the best results.
Throughout a treatment laser energy is delivered to the unwanted tattoo, targeting the ink and breaking it down into smaller particles. The tiny particles are then eliminated through the body’s natural processes, resulting in faster clearance with fewer treatments than traditional lasers.
Treating an average sized tattoo typically takes around 10 minutes. Treatments can be longer depending on the size of the tattoo being treated.
Tattoo removal can be uncomfortable, but we use a Zimmer cold-air device throughout the entire treatment to make it much more tolerable, and we can take breaks anytime you need. The sessions are usually very quick, and if you prefer extra comfort, we offer a numbing cream add-on that can be requested at your appointment.
The PicoSure Pro is an upgraded version of the original PicoSure, offering faster, more powerful pulses that break up ink more effectively. This makes it better at removing stubborn tattoos and achieving results in fewer sessions while being gentle on the skin.
There’s no set number of tattoo removal sessions because it depends on factors like ink type, size, location, and how your skin responds. We offer an unlimited package option — a one-time cost based on the tattoo’s size — so you can keep coming in until full removal or significant fading is achieved, ensuring the best results without paying per session. We also offer per-session pricing, but most clients choose the unlimited package for maximum value and results.
