Introduction
Do you have a tattoo that you regret? Or an old tattoo that no longer represents who you are today? Lutronic's PicoPlus picosecond laser tattoo removal is one of the most advanced technologies available today to remove tattoos safely, quickly and effectively. In this article, you will learn how the PicoPlus laser works, why it is considered one of the best on the market, and what to expect before, during and after treatment.

What is the PicoPlus Picosecond Laser?
The Lutronic PicoPlus is a next-generation picosecond laser, designed to treat skin pigments with extreme precision. Unlike traditional nanosecond lasers, the PicoPlus emits ultra-short pulses (1 trillionth of a second), fragmenting the tattoo ink into even smaller particles. This allows for faster removal, with fewer sessions and less risk of damaging the surrounding skin.

Why choose PicoPlus for tattoo removal?
1. Maximum effectiveness even on the most difficult tattoos
PicoPlus is effective on all colors, even the historically most resistant ones such as green, blue and yellow. Furthermore, it is suitable for old, faded, covered or professional tattoos.
2. Fewer sessions compared to traditional lasers
Thanks to the power of the picosecond, fewer sessions are often enough to obtain visible results. On average, complete removal can require 4 to 8 sessions, depending on the type of tattoo.
3. Safety for all skin types
PicoPlus is equipped with different wavelengths (532, 595, 660 and 1064 nm), which make it safe even for dark phototypes (IV-VI), minimizing the risk of post-treatment hypopigmentation or hyperpigmentation.
4. Short recovery times
The treatment is minimally invasive, and recovery is generally quick: redness and slight swelling may last a few days, but you can return to your daily activities almost immediately.

How does the treatment work?
✅ Evaluation visit
Before the treatment, a personalized medical visit is performed to analyze the tattoo: color, depth, age, skin type, body area and number of sessions planned.
✅ During the treatment
The laser is applied to the affected area. The sensation is comparable to small, rapid pinches, often mitigated with cooling systems or anaesthetic cream.
✅ After the treatment
It is normal to feel a slight redness or tingling. A soothing cream is applied and advice is provided for proper home care. It is essential to avoid the sun and not scratch the treated area.
How many sessions are necessary?
The number of sessions depends on:
Size of the tattoo
Type of ink and colors used
Age of the tattoo
Depth of the pigment
Individual skin response
In general:
Black or dark tattoos: 4-6 sessions
Colored tattoos: 6-10 sessions

FAQ
Is the treatment painful?
The sensation is bearable, similar to a rubber band snapping on the skin. A local anesthetic is applied to reduce the discomfort.
Does the tattoo disappear completely?
In most cases, yes. Some pigments or very deep residues may remain slightly visible, but the improvement is evident.
Can I remove only part of the tattoo?
Absolutely yes. It is possible to partially remove a tattoo, redefine its contours or lighten it for a new cover-up.
