Your Treatment Process
Step 1: Consultation
Step 2: During the Treatment
Step 3: Post-Treatment Care
Your journey begins with a detailed consultation to assess your tattoo, skin type, and aesthetic goals. We’ll create a personalised treatment plan tailored to your needs.
The PICO Laser emits ultra-short picosecond pulses that shatter tattoo ink into tiny particles, which are naturally eliminated by your body over time. Most clients describe the sensation as similar to a rubber band snap.
Mild redness or swelling may occur after the session, but these effects typically subside within a few days. Our team will provide thorough aftercare instructions to ensure optimal results.
