How It Works
At South William Clinic, we use PicoSure laser technology to safely break down tattoo ink. Unlike traditional lasers that rely on heat, PicoSure delivers ultra-short picosecond pulses of pressure to shatter ink particles without damaging the surrounding tissue.
Assess Ink Depth & Colours. Your practitioner evaluates your tattoo's ink colour, depth, and skin type to customise exact treatment parameters for safe, optimal removal.
755nm & 532nm Laser. Dual wavelengths target a wide spectrum of stubborn ink colours using high-speed pressure waves to pulverise ink into minute, dust-like particles.
Ice & Ointment. Immediately post-treatment, ice and a soothing clinical ointment are applied to cool the area, minimise discomfort, and accelerate initial skin healing.
Progressive Fading. Over the following weeks, your body's lymphatic system naturally clears the shattered ink particles, resulting in progressive fading across your series of sessions.
