how it works


If laser is new to you, how it works for tattoo and pigment removal may be confusing. You have probably have seen other laser systems described as Gold Standard, Medical Grade, Grade 4 Medical, or even the Rolls Royce of Laser.

We chose the Candela PicoWay Laser for its unrivalled results and versatility in treating a variety of pigments, resulting in removing your unwanted pigmentation in fewer treatments.

Our PicoWay is affectionately known as the Delorean because it takes you back to the future!

Having a great machine is only part of the equation, the other is having an experienced operator. With these powers combined, together we’ll achieve the best results possible.

PRECISE laser PULSES TARGET YOUR INK or PIGMENTATION

We carefully select the hand piece best suited to your treatment area, matching the tattoo colour, or pigmentation type to the correct wavelength and accurately trace your treatment area.

the pulses GENTLY shatter THE PIGMENT into tiny particles

The hand piece delivers a precise high power energy in extremely short pulses to target ink particles and pigmentation.

YOUR BODY Eliminates THE PIGMENT PROGRESSIVELY EACH TREATMENT

The smaller the particle the more easily the body can flush it out. This happens over multiple treatments spaced 8-10 weeks apart.
