Thank you from Atlanta.

Great, informative video. Thanks 🙂

Always wondered if you can tattoo over an area which has had tattoo removal. Thanks for the video!

[@modemarcoj8026]

I have seen videos where the technician goes over the tattoo 2-3 times vs just one pass and others just go over it once and that’s it . The people that go over it a few times in one session get much better results. I’m wondering what the protocol is with Pico machine .

[@cliffchampion5501]

The protocol is scamming for more appointments that are unnecessary

[@LuxDoll]

I’m on my third session, each time it gets more painful as she turns up the machine I can’t wait for it to be other and so thankful to whoever created tattoo removal 😂

[@pulselightclinic]

Indeed, it can feel a bit more intense with each session, but that's just us making sure we get every bit of that ink. Hang in there - you're doing great, and a big shoutout to the smart folks who figured out how to zap tattoos away!

[@ChroniclesOfBeyond]

Interesting as I’m finding opposite. I have multiple tattoos I’m removing and I always find the first session or two more painful. I put it down to having more ink present but no idea if that’s true. Our bodies are wonderful things! Do you get the metallic taste in your mouth during the session? I always taste pennies!

[@ritanoori7326]

I have old eyebrow tattoo that was covered with beige colour, I tried invasive laser treatment and it was not removed. Will Pico technology be able to remove it?

[@gissellemendez8390]

I am keloid prone will that affect me when it comes to scars or healing?

[@richardprutz6458]

Thank you- I started to use the product without reading the instructions. (bad news caused a deep burn) But on another tattoo's I just use it without burning and it removed 10 % with just one use.

[@pulselightclinic]

Great! Just be careful with your aftercare.

[@GoldenG9]

Hello, big color tattoos can be removed completely or just they fade up with picolaser? i have one on my thigh, they told me that with picoway my color tattoo can be removed. Also i didn't decide if i want to removed it completely yet but i want it to fade so i can have a new cover up tattoo. thanks

[@wondermusicentertainment]

Am in Uganda but I need my tattoos removed. How do I link up.

[@kytteychan]

Hi, i have a question. I got my third tattoo removal session for my black tattoo. The first session was with picolaser, pain was a 6/7 out of 10. My second session was quite painful 8/9 put of 10 (maybe bec my health condition was not good and i didn‘t slept the night). All the pain was after the removal since the numbness faded and the pain starts. It was just the first day but everything after was ok. Now my third session was really really good. Besides the laser pain, i have no pain afterwards. And no blisters like in the first and second one. But this time the removal was with nano laser (the laser maschine was defect so the doctor had a backup maschine). My question: based on reviews and casestudies picolaser is overall a „better“ option. But with this experience i had less pain with nano. I‘m not sure if it’s more effective compared to picolaser but since my tattoo is only black, maybe this kind of wavelength fits better? The doc said the wavelength is only the difference but in my case picolaser and nanolaser have the same results. But is there anything i should be aware of? For example in the healing process (scaring or hyperpigmentation). Of course everyone feels differently and have different experiences with doctors or laser. I’m afraid that i‘m paying the same amount but have less effective results which means more sessions. Would be nice if you could help me out. 😢

[@pulselightclinic]

Hello there, and thank you for reaching out with your question. It sounds like you've been through quite a journey with your tattoo removal, experiencing different levels of discomfort and results across your sessions. It's great to hear that your third session with the nano laser brought you less pain and no blisters, which must have been a relief. When it comes to comparing the effectiveness of picolaser and nanolaser for black tattoos, it's true that the picolaser is often highlighted for its efficiency, but if the nanolaser is providing you with good results without the adverse effects, it might indeed be a suitable option for your specific case. Every individual's response to laser treatment can vary, and factors like tattoo pigment, skin type, and the laser's wavelength play significant roles. It's important to discuss your concerns regarding the healing process, potential scarring, or hyperpigmentation with your doctor, as they can offer tailored advice based on your experiences and their expertise. Please book your FREE consultation with us so we could asses your skin to continue the tattoo removal: bit.ly/4aE4fK7

[@Jdrummer77]

Thanks for all the important info. I was wandering if 6 weeks apart is long enough between sessions but I’m willing to wait longer if it helps. I’ve booked my 4 th session 7 weeks from the last but thinking I should change it to 8 weeks and then even longer the more sessions I have.

[@pulselightclinic]

Thank you for your kind words and for sharing your thoughts! The 6-week interval between sessions is generally effective, but extending it to 7 or 8 weeks can indeed enhance the results, especially as you progress through more sessions. It's wonderful that you're considering this adjustment - our team is here to support you in making the best decisions for your treatment journey.

[@pizzahutcarcrash]

Great video! I heard you say that Pico can treat a ray of different colors. All of which I have on my tattoo, but I am however black with a type 3 skin color. Would Pico still be able to target those colors in my skin as well? Or would me chances be decreased due to the color of my skin. Thank you if you respond, I have not been able to find a of information about this.

[@pulselightclinic]

Thank you for your kind words and for reaching out with your question! Pico lasers are indeed advanced in targeting a wide range of tattoo ink colors effectively, and they're designed with versatility to work on various skin types, including type 3 skin. However, treatment outcomes can vary based on individual skin and tattoo characteristics, so we recommend scheduling a consultation with our professionals who can assess your specific situation and provide personalized advice.

Do fresh tattoos fade faster ?

[@jessiewang9238]

How can I contact you?

[@eigenfield]

Picosure breaks the ink and the ink is carried away by the blood stream and goes into the liver. Can you tell us more about this? Will the ink stay forever in the liver and if not, how is the ink flushed out from your body???

[@adii7568]

yes it will stay there forever, you will get a tattoo on your liver because of this.

[@jessarikastar]

Supposedly it gets flushed out through your lymphatic system! I had my first session of tattoo removal today and the lady told me this and that it would be flushed out through there. I admit I got sick shortly after my appointment 😅 not sure if that was because I was just straight up nervous or the waste leaving. Drinking lots of water should help?? Hope this helps in general!

[@g4geetar]

​@Mr. Mackey what rubbish you talk. It gets flushed out of your system. I had one removed over 30 yrs ago

[@EmilyRad]

Would you know beforehand if your tattoo is the kind that can be completely removed? I feel like the ghosting is worse in some ways

[@pulselightclinic]

Hello! Yes, during your initial consultation, our expert team assesses your tattoo and discusses the likely outcomes, including the potential for complete removal. Factors such as ink depth, tattoo age, and colour can influence the likelihood of 'ghosting', but with our advanced laser technology, we strive to achieve the best possible results for every client. We’d love to explore your options and address any concerns you may have!

[@Sony11._800]

Hello thankyou for the information it's really helpful..but I have another doubt...is tattoo removal safe in Individuals with autoimmune conditions like rheumatoid arthritis ..is tatto Removal procedure safe in them could you please clarify this... thankyou

[@silkko]

hi. yesterday my friend made me a tattoo. i hated it, when can i remove it? maybe tomorrow? or is it have to heal first?

[@pulselightclinic]

I am so sorry to hear that! First of all, you need to wait for the tattoo to heal. If you have a new tattoo, you must wait a minimum of 3 months before booking a consultation and patch test.

[@dinacucoara1559]

Does it affect hair growth in the treated area? (If it were used to remove a brow tattoo)

[@pulselightclinic]

Laser tattoo removal is designed to target the ink in the skin and typically does not affect hair growth in the treated area. If used to remove a brow tattoo, the hair follicles should remain intact and unaffected.

[@vargenfenrisson1164]

It IS expensive it's hell of expensive

[@IversonGR]

how long does it take to see the result after EACH session?

[@pulselightclinic]

This is a tricky question. The time frame varies for each client and their tattoo, as different factors such as ink type and color, skin type, and age and location of the tattoo play a role.

[@vibewithbadal]

Hii my skin colour is kind of brown shade ( Indian white skin) and i have a black colour tattoo on my right for arms is it possible to remove it?

[@pulselightclinic]

Hi! Yes, tattoo removal is definitely possible for your skin tone and the black color tattoo on your forearm. We highly recommend to schedule a free consultation with us.

Hello! Can you tell me why tattoo removal is so expensive? Even though it’s so quick?

[@kailamalito4271]

machine cost and liability both extremely high

[@visceratrocar]

Once the equipment is paid off the rest is extortion. Think MRIs and CT machines. Same idea.

[@pulselightclinic]

Do you have any unwanted tattoo? We recommend to check our Black Friday prices now. It has never been lower than that!

[@teaganfelerski7425]

So if the tattoo is older it could potentially leave a stain on the skin??

[@pulselightclinic]

Indeed, older tattoos can sometimes leave a residual shadow or discoloration on the skin after removal, primarily due to the depth and density of the ink. Our top-notch lasers and skilled team work wonders on minimising any leftovers. We’re here to chat through any concerns and tailor a plan just for you. We recommend to book a free consultation to asses you tattoo and advice the best laser to your skin type. Learn more on our website: bit.ly/4aE4fK7

Can tattoo removal cause swollen lymph nodes and lead to lymphoma / cancer?

[@pulselightclinic]

While tattoo removal, particularly with laser treatments like PicoSure, can cause temporary swelling in lymph nodes as the body processes the ink, there is no scientific evidence linking it to lymphoma or cancer. The procedure is generally safe when performed by qualified professionals. However, it's always best to consult with a healthcare provider if you have specific health concerns.

A lot

It feels like the hot oil burn you get sometimes from cooking

Some places have a machine that blows cool air it depends how big your tattoo is

[@themansejj7099]

How long for full removal

[@carlgrimeseyepatch27]

Anywhere from 6 months to 2 years depending on how old your tattoo is.

[@saranappo1046]

Which strategy I should use to remove a black tattoo?

[@a.j3798]

Start with picosure or picoway for a black tattoo. Opinions and information differ on which is more effective for black ink. I just started picosure for a black 3inx3in yesterday. I have the budget for picoway as well so am planning to try that after my picosure treatment is done In 1 year.

[@StathisPetrakis13]

@a.j3798 Which one is better for black tattoo removal picosure pro by sinocure or discovery pico by Wanda ?

[@a.j3798]

@StathisPetrakis13 I am using the picosure cynosure right now and and am seeing some fading and lightening 2 sessions in.

[@a.j3798]

@StathisPetrakis13 picoway candela is the top choice for black ink. Picosure is good for black ink as well. There are other choices out there but I am going with the picosure first and then the picoway candela for the second half of my treatment plan.

[@devonglide1830]

@@a.j3798 How is your removal going now? I'm using picoway and I'm 3 weeks into my first treatment. So far nothing has happened or changed. After the first day my arm was a bit swollen, but the tattoo didn't blister or seem to change in any noticeable way. After a few days it itched a bit for maybe a day or two. And over the last few days, I think my arm has had some dry skin come off (hard to explain, but like very thin, small patches of skin, hardly noticeable, almost like a very mild sunburn after it has healed).

it hurts more than getting tattooed in my opinion , and numbing cream is useless

Myth: tattoo removal actually works

[@pulselightclinic]

despite what others say... yes, that's true!

[@crystalbailey7205]

Actually removal can leave scars I got a tattoo removed & it scared my skin. I am living pride of this I cringe when they promote this but mind you the guy I don’t think was properly trained so that was my fault but because I listened to ppl like her that looks like she never had a tattoo removed I didn’t think I would get a scar

[@pulselightclinic]

We're deeply sorry to hear about your scarring from tattoo removal. At Pulse Light Clinic, our empathetic team of experts uses advanced technology to minimise risks, providing care that's as compassionate as it is professional. If you need guidance on managing scarring or are considering future treatments, we're here to support you with understanding and expertise.

[@joeya2330]

As in every kind of business it turns into money magnet. This business literally take advantage of big fancy titles such as New Technology - Good quality and so on just to take as much they can take from customers. Sorry why for a session more than 500 bucks ( not talking about your clinic ). They already bought the machine why take a lot of money per treatment ? If it is going to take couple of minutes ? An estimate to remove a small chunks of my arm will cost me 6 sessions 3 K thats theft for sure (not talking about your clinic)

[@pulselightclinic]

hello Joe. There is no single answer for your question. We would recommend to visit our website FAQ or watch the recent Laser Tattoo Removal Shorts on KZbin that will answer all them.

[@devonglide1830]

I hear you. I live in China and I have to go to a hospital for my tattoo removal here. Since I don't speak or read the language well, it's very hard to find anywhere else to have it done. I'm guessing it's going to end up costing about 2000 to have my creditcard sized tattoo removed. My initial payment is 1000, but the doctor said she didn't think it will be gone by the end of my sessions. From what I've seen online, and I've watched many vids now, it looks like 10 - 12 sessions are a realistic expectation. So basically, I think tattoo removal is plain expensive where ever you are. To have it done safely, you're probably going to need to go to a clinic with proper equipment and real doctors. Perhaps as more and more clinics start doing it, and the removers start to become people who just buy the machine (not doctors), we'll probably see prices fall. I'm 50, so I don't think I'll see cheap tattoo removal in my life time, but if you're young and patient, who knows what future prices will look like for you.

[@akz7389]

If you think that tattos and the ink on it will cause allergic reactions and inflammation in your skin and your body will slowly absorve the ink which might or not have some usually considered "potentially carcinogenic" ingredients I think the probability of having cancer with a tatto is higher than using laser sometimes. Of course there is no evidence that tattos will get you cancer someday, just some statements.

[@ziggocip]

Ahh yes, 'debunking'. #2 - 'is too painful'. It's more painful than getting it. Subjectively, that's 'too much' for some. #3 - "the healing process can leave a scar"' - so.... it can leave a scar. Gotcha. #5 - 'takes a long time'. The one right before even points out, it takes multiple sessions. This takes a long time. Even upwards of 5+ sessions. That would take a long time. #6 - 'doesn't work on all ink colors'. "That is partially correct". What a resounding 'debunk'. Also it's not 'partially correct - it's fully correct that some colors cannot be removed. #7 - 'tattoo removal cream' - this isn't a myth about laser removal - it's not laser removal. #10 (best one imo) - "yes it can be more expensive". What a dog shit list of 'myths'. Half aren't even dispelled.

Thank you for your breakdown on the video. We understand that tattoo removal can be a complex topic with many variables, including pain, healing time, and effectiveness on different ink colors.
