Benefits
Unmatched Tattoo Removal Efficiency
The Candela Picowave’s picosecond technology is designed to deliver optimal results in tattoo removal. The ultra-short laser pulses create a photomechanical impact, breaking down ink particles into tiny fragments that the body can easily absorb and eliminate. This process is highly effective for all tattoo colors, including stubborn shades that resist other laser treatments. By utilizing picosecond pulses, the Picowave ensures that each treatment session achieves significant progress, reducing the total number of sessions needed to achieve clear skin.
Comprehensive Color Spectrum Removal
Traditional lasers often struggle with certain tattoo colors, particularly lighter shades and greens. The Candela Picowave, however, excels in treating the full spectrum of tattoo inks. Its powerful energy delivery and precise targeting ensure that even the most challenging colors are effectively broken down. This makes the Picowave an ideal choice for clients with multicolored tattoos who seek complete removal.
Enhanced Patient Comfort
One of the standout features of the Candela Picowave is its integrated cooling system, which significantly enhances patient comfort during treatment. The cooling mechanism reduces the heat sensation typically associated with laser treatments, making the process more tolerable. This is particularly important for sensitive areas or larger tattoos where patient comfort can impact the overall experience and satisfaction.
Safety and Minimal Downtime
Safety is a paramount concern in any cosmetic procedure, and the Candela Picowave excels in this area. The picosecond pulses are designed to target tattoo ink specifically, minimizing damage to surrounding skin. This precision reduces the risk of adverse effects such as scarring or hyperpigmentation. Additionally, the minimal downtime associated with picosecond laser treatments means patients can quickly return to their daily activities, making it a convenient option for those with busy schedules.
Versatility in Treatments
Beyond tattoo removal, the Candela Picowave is also effective for other pigment-related concerns. It can be used to treat benign pigmented lesions, acne scars, and other skin irregularities, making it a versatile addition to any practice. This versatility expands the range of services that clinics can offer, attracting a broader client base and increasing revenue potential.
How It Works
Picosecond Laser Technology
The Picowave operates by emitting ultra-short laser pulses that create a photomechanical impact on tattoo ink particles. These pulses generate a high level of pressure, causing the ink particles to shatter into much smaller fragments than those produced by nanosecond lasers. The body’s natural processes then absorb and eliminate these tiny fragments, gradually fading the tattoo over multiple sessions.
Treatment Process
Consultation and Assessment
Initial Evaluation: During the first visit, a thorough assessment of the tattoo is conducted to determine the ink type, colors, depth, and overall complexity.
Customized Treatment Plan: Based on the assessment, a personalized treatment plan is developed, outlining the estimated number of sessions required and expected outcomes.
Preparation
Skin Cleaning: The treatment area is cleaned to remove any oils, lotions, or impurities.
Protective Measures: Eye protection is provided to both the patient and the practitioner to safeguard against laser exposure.
Laser Application
Handpiece Selection: The appropriate handpiece is chosen based on the tattoo size and treatment area.
Adjusting Settings: Laser settings are customized to match the specific requirements of the tattoo and patient’s skin type.
Treatment Execution: The laser is applied to the tattoo, delivering picosecond pulses that fragment the ink particles.
Post-Treatment Care
Cooling and Soothing: A cooling gel or cold pack is applied to the treated area to alleviate any discomfort.
Aftercare Instructions: Patients are provided with detailed aftercare guidelines to ensure optimal healing and minimize any risk of complications.
Follow-Up Sessions
Progress Evaluation: The tattoo’s progress is assessed during each follow-up session, and adjustments to the treatment plan are made as necessary.
Continued Treatment: Additional sessions are scheduled until the desired level of tattoo removal is achieved.
