PICO LASER TATTOO REMOVAL Paris

Q: Can a tattoo be completely removed?

In some cases, yes, but it depends on many factors: color, depth, density, age, and individual skin response. Complete removal can never be guaranteed from the outset.

Q: How many sessions should be planned?

Several sessions are almost always necessary. The exact number depends on the tattoo and its evolution throughout the treatment.

Q: Is laser tattoo removal painful?

The treatment may be uncomfortable, with a popping or tingling sensation, but it is generally well tolerated. Local anesthesia may be considered in some cases.

Q: Can all colors be treated?

The PicoPlus® allows for the processing of many colors thanks to its four wavelengths, but some inks remain more complex than others and respond differently to processing.

Q: How much time should there be between two sessions?

The sessions should be spaced out to allow the skin time to recover and the body time to eliminate the fragmented pigments.

Q: What are the next steps after the session?

Redness, heat, slight swelling and sometimes small scabs may appear. These effects are temporary.

Q: Can a cover-up be done after a few sessions?

Yes, in many cases, lasers are used to lighten a tattoo before covering it up, in order to achieve a better aesthetic result.

Dermato Aesthetic Clinic – Paris, 16^rd

Laser tattoo removal allows for the gradual fading of a tattoo, whether amateur or professional, black or multicolored, by fragmenting the pigments so they can then be naturally eliminated by the body. At Clinique Renécia, we use the Lutronic PicoPlus®, a state-of-the-art picosecond laser renowned for its power, precision, and ability to effectively treat tattoos of various colors.

Thanks to its ultra-short pulses, the PicoPlus® fragments inks into very fine particles, while minimizing heat buildup in surrounding tissue. This technology allows for a more targeted, safer, and generally better-tolerated treatment than older lasers. The tattoo thus fades gradually over the course of the sessions, respecting the skin.

What is laser tattoo removal treatment?

Laser tattoo removal is a medical treatment designed to gradually lighten or erase a tattoo by targeting the pigments in the skin. The laser delivers energy that breaks down these pigments into smaller particles, which the body then gradually eliminates through its immune system.

Laser tattoo removal is now the standard method for treating tattoos, as it allows for selective action on pigments without surgical removal of the skin.

A principle of action based on the fragmentation of pigments

The picosecond laser acts primarily through a photomechanical effect. Its extremely short pulses allow the ink particles to be broken down with high precision, while limiting thermal diffusion into surrounding tissues.

This method of action allows us to:

To break down tattoo pigments into finer particles
• To facilitate their gradual elimination by the body
• Better target certain complex colors
• Limit thermal damage to the surrounding skin
• Improve treatment tolerance

Latest generation technology at the Renécia Clinic

At Clinique Renécia, we use the Lutronic PicoPlus®, a second-generation picosecond laser designed to treat the most resistant pigments with a high level of precision.

With a peak power of 1,8 GW and four wavelengths—1064, 532, 595, and 660 nm—the PicoPlus® offers great versatility in treating both black and multicolored tattoos. This range of wavelengths allows the treatment to be adapted according to the ink color, its depth, and the nature of the tattoo.

PicoPlus® is therefore among the most effective technologies for modern tattoo removal, combining efficiency, precision and safety.

Who is tattoo removal for?

Laser tattoo removal is for women and men wishing to reduce or erase an unwanted tattoo, whether it is:

A personal tattoo that one no longer wishes to keep
From an old tattoo that has aged badly
Of a tattoo whose aesthetic result is no longer satisfactory
A recovery project requiring prior clarification
Semi-permanent makeup for certain selected indications

The treatment can be applied to both black tattoos and tattoos of several colors, subject to a prior medical evaluation.

What happens during a tattoo removal session?

Before the session

A personalized medical consultation is essential. It allows:

To assess the tattoo: age, depth, density, colors, location
To analyze the skin, phototype and any potential risk factors
To determine the treatment protocol and estimate the expected number of sessions
To clearly explain the limitations of tattoo removal, the after-effects, and the precautions to be observed

Skin preparation:

The area is cleaned before treatment
Depending on the area and the patient's sensitivity, local anesthesia may be offered.

During the session

The doctor treats the tattoo by adapting the laser parameters according to the color of the pigments, their density, the estimated depth and the body area concerned.

The session typically lasts between a few minutes and half an hour, depending on the size of the tattoo. A popping, warming, or tingling sensation may be felt during the treatment.

After the session

After treatment, the area may present:

A redness
A slight swelling
A feeling of warmth
Sometimes small scabs or a transient surface reaction

These after-effects are normal and gradually fade. The tattoo then lightens over the weeks as the fragmented pigments are eliminated by the body.

Post-treatment recommendations:

Keep the area clean and protected
Apply the prescribed treatment
Avoid all sun exposure
Apply SPF50+ sunscreen in case of indirect exposure
Do not scratch the treated area
Respect the time between sessions

PicoPlus® laser technology

Lutronic's PicoPlus® enables tattoo removal based on ultra-targeted photomechanical action. The energy delivered in picoseconds fragments the pigments without causing extensive skin damage.

An ultra-short beam for targeted action and more controlled recovery

Thanks to its 450 picosecond pulses, the laser acts extremely quickly on the tattoo pigments. This short pulse duration allows:

Finer fragmentation of the inks
Improved performance on certain difficult colors
A limitation of thermal effects
Improved skin tolerance

Advanced technologies for greater performance and security

Four wavelengths to process different colors
High power for tough tattoos
Very precise settings to adapt the treatment to each skin type
Stable parameters thanks to self-calibration
Custom adaptation according to the size and location of the tattoo

A treatment that can be customized for each tattoo

Each tattoo is unique. The procedure is therefore personalized according to:

The colors present
Ink density
The estimated depth
The treated area
The patient's phototype
The desired outcome: maximum removal or simple lightening before cover-up

The different areas that can be treated for tattoo removal

Laser tattoo removal can be performed on most of the body.

Feasibility depends on the area, the nature of the tattoo, and the initial medical evaluation.

What are the results ?

Laser tattoo removal allows for a gradual lightening of the tattoo over the course of several sessions. In some cases, the fading can be very significant, even almost complete. In others, a substantial lightening is achieved without total disappearance.

The results depend in particular on:

The color of the inks
The depth of the tattoo
Because of its density
Because of its age
The quality of the patient's immune response

The goal is always to achieve the clearest possible improvement, under the best possible conditions of skin safety.
