Pico Laser Tattoo Removal in Troy, MI

During Your Session:

• We apply numbing cream (you can request stronger numbing for larger tattoos)
• The laser is passed over the tattoo for about 5-30 minutes depending on size
• You'll feel a light "snapping" sensation (like a rubber band on your skin)
• The area gets red and may swell slightly

After Your Session:

• Redness and swelling fade within 24-48 hours
• You can return to work and normal activities immediately
• Avoid swimming and strenuous exercise for 48 hours
• Keep the area clean and use the cream we provide

Session 1: Tattoo is treated. Looks faded immediately (about 20% lighter).

Weeks 1-6: Tattoo continues to fade as your body clears ink. Noticeable improvement.

Session 2 (6-8 weeks later): Another treatment. Another 20% fading.

Sessions 3-10 (Over 12-18 months): Progressive fading with each session. Tattoo becomes lighter and lighter.

Final Result: Tattoo is completely gone (or very faded for cover-up).

How Many Sessions Will I Need for Tattoo Removal?

Tattoo removal is a process, and the number of sessions required varies from person to person. Factors that influence your treatment plan include the age of the tattoo, its location on the body, the colors used, and whether it was professionally done or a stick-and-poke tattoo.

Older tattoos and those located closer to the heart (where circulation is stronger) tend to respond more quickly, while newer, more densely inked professional tattoos may require additional sessions. During your consultation, we’ll assess your tattoo and create a customized treatment plan to safely and effectively achieve your desired results..

Q: Is this going to hurt?

It's uncomfortable but not painful. Most people describe it like a rubber band snapping on your skin. We can apply numbing cream, and for larger tattoos, we can use stronger numbing options.

Q: Will there be scarring?

With proper laser treatment, scarring is very rare. The PicoFY® laser is designed to avoid damaging the skin around the tattoo.

Q: How many sessions do I really need?

Most people need 6-10 sessions. Some tattoos fade faster, others take longer. It depends on the size, colors, and how old the tattoo is. We'll give you a realistic estimate after your first consultation.

Q: Can I just get a cover-up instead?

Yes! Many people get 2-3 laser sessions to lighten the tattoo, then get a cover-up. This is often faster and more affordable than complete removal. Let us know what you prefer.

Q: What if I have a colorful tattoo?

Black and dark blue tattoos are easiest to remove. Colored tattoos (red, green, yellow) may take more sessions, but they can all be removed or significantly faded.

Q: Can you remove tattoos on any part of my body?

Yes. We can remove tattoos from your face, arms, legs, chest, back—anywhere. We'll just adjust the treatment based on the location.

Q: What's the cost?

Cost depends on the size and colors of your tattoo. We'll give you a quote after your free consultation. Many people set up payment plans to spread the cost across sessions.
