PicoSure Tattoo Removal

A picosecond laser that breaks tattoo pigment into fine particles to fade it away.

About Procedure

About PicoSure Tattoo Removal

PicoSure tattoo removal uses the powerful pressure waves of a picosecond laser to shatter tattoo ink particles in the skin into fine fragments that the body can naturally clear.

It can break particles down smaller than conventional nanosecond lasers, offering advantages in removal efficiency and reduced skin stress, and treatment is spread over sessions according to the tattoo’s color and depth.

SIA Clinic Gangnam offers treatments by size — 500-won coin size, business card size and eyebrow tattoos — in 1- or 5-session packages.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. How many sessions will it take?

It depends on the tattoo’s color, depth and size, and multiple sessions are usually needed. We’ll give you an estimated number of sessions during your consultation.

Q. Will it be completely removed?

Most tattoos fade considerably, but depending on the ink type and color, complete removal may be difficult in some cases.

Q. Does it hurt?

It feels like the snap of a rubber band; numbing cream helps reduce discomfort.

Q. How far apart are the sessions?

Sessions are usually spaced 6–8 weeks apart to allow time for the fragmented ink to be cleared.
