Was unterscheidet unsere Methode der Tattooentfernung von älteren Nanosekundenlasern (Q-Switch Lasern)?
- Da der Impuls deutlich kürzer ist (10-12 vs. 10-9), kann mit viel mehr Energie gearbeitet werden (bis zu 1,8GW Energie!)
- Dadurch werden die Pigmentteilchen in kleinere Bruchstücke zerlegt und schneller über das Immunsystem abgebaut
- Dadurch verkürzt sich die Zeit bis zur nächsten Behandlung und ist weniger schmerzhaft
- Es können auch schwierige Farben behandlet werden
Es gibt zahlreiche Gründe, warum jemand ein Tattoo entfernen will. Manchmal hat sich einfach der Geschmack verändert oder die Farbe ist bereits verblasst. Für manche Menschen ist ein Tattoo im Beruf hinderlich und muss deswegen entfernt werden. Ganz gleich was Ihr Grund für eine Tattooentfernung ist, bei uns erhalten Sie eine schmerzarme Behandlung mit einem der modernsten Pikosekundenlaser.
Der überdurchschnittlich leistungsstarke Pikosekundenlaser Pico Plus von Lutronic vereint Effizienz und Sicherheit. Er arbeitet mit 4 verschieden Wellenlängen und verwendet Pulslängen von einer billionstel Sekunde (10-12). Dieser extrem kurze Impuls ermöglicht es mit enormer Leistung auf das Zielchromophor (das Pigment) zu schießen, wodurch die Farbpigmente in kleinste Teile zertrümmert werden, welche dann viel schneller von den Fresszellen (den Makrophagen) über das Lymphsystem abtransportiert werden können. Außerdem ermöglicht der Pikosekundenlaser die Entfernung fast aller Farbpigmente.

One of the best systems on the market offers the following advantages
The picosecond laser from Lutronic is a sophisticated 3rd generation device. Great emphasis was placed on causing as little damage as possible to the surrounding tissue during treatment. Thus, the complication rate, which is in principle very high for tattoo removal, could be minimized.
The procedure with the picosecond laser is much less painful than previous lasers that work in the nanosecond range (10-9). In addition, not only are far fewer treatments necessary, but the waiting time between treatments is much shorter because the pigment particles that are shattered by the picosecond laser are smaller and thus are removed more quickly by the scavenger cells.
What you can expect:
- Best results: most tattoos can now be almost completely removed. The effect of the laser is focused on the color pigments, which are shattered by the extremely short but extremely high-energy laser pulse and then removed via the lymphatic system.
- Precision: The surrounding tissue is hardly damaged because the laser energy is focused on the treated tattoo pigments.
- Great treatment versatility: The picosecond laser offers 4 different wavelengths that can treat and remove almost all colors.
- More safety: The pulses in the picosecond laser are enormously short, so more energy can be used and most of the energy is delivered directly to the pigment. This makes the treatment less painful and the skin is less damaged.
- Less time required: due to faster drainage through the lymphatic system, treatment can be resumed sooner and fewer sessions are required.

FAQs
Frequently asked questions about tattoo removal
The laser is aimed at the color pigment in the tattoo and once the color particles of the tattoo absorb the laser pulse, they are broken down into tiny pieces so that they can be absorbed and excreted by the body’s lymphatic system. The process of breaking down, processing and excreting the color pigments usually takes a few weeks. In the beginning it is faster, in the end you should keep longer intervals between treatments.
Several sessions are always required (usually 4 to 12), exactly how many depends on several factors: Size, color, depth of puncture and age of the tattoo, distance of the tattoo from the heart (the closer to the heart, the faster the pigment is broken down). A small tattoo close to the heart may be removed with as little as 4 treatments. However, a large tattoo on the lower leg may need 8 to 12 treatments.
One session usually costs 100 to 400 euros depending on the size of the tattoo.
There should be at least 30 days between each session. From the 6 treatment the body needs more time to regenerate, so from the 7th treatment the interval increases to 60 days.
Bathing, sauna and sun must be avoided after treatment. The skin must be protected with a sun protection factor 50+. Scratching is taboo. If severe itching occurs, wound and healing ointment can be applied. The less scratching or scrubbing is done, the more beautiful the result will be. The lasered skin area may only be washed very carefully during the first 3 days. Only water, no soap. When drying, only dabbing is allowed. If blisters or crusts appear, they must not be removed under any circumstances.
With our picosecond laser, the treatment is less painful than with other lasers. The pain that can occur during tattoo removal is often compared to the pain felt during tattooing. Of course, this depends on each individual’s perception of pain. In order to make the treatment as painless as possible, we often use anesthetic ointments or the skin can be additionally cooled down to up to 35 degrees during the treatment with a medical cooling device of the latest generation.
The tattoo must be at least 90 days old to be removed. Older tattoos have shown that the color pigments are encapsulated deeper in the tissue. This can lead to the need for more treatments.
As a rule, dark colors such as black, dark gray or dark blue can be removed better than orange, red or yellow. Lighter colors, in principle, require several treatments. The darker the color, the better the laser beam can be absorbed.
Treated areas may be swollen or reddened. Vesicles or scabs may form on sensitive skin. Sometimes hypo-pigmentation (white spots) or hyper-pigmentation (extra pigment) also occur.
Hypopigmentation occurs when not only the tattoo color but also the skin’s own pigments were removed during treatment. A slightly light shadow is formed. These normally recede on their own after 6 to 9 months. Hyperpigmentation is the opposite, dark spots appear.
If the skin areas are improperly cared for, infections can occur. Sometimes, especially with permanent makeup, there is also a so-called color change, here the color of the tattoo changes, for example, from black to green.
It is difficult to laser tattoos on tanned skin. It is more susceptible to pigmentation disorders. It is therefore advisable to wait until the tan has faded.
- Irritation and mild pain can be relieved directly during and after treatment with cooling pads.
- If scabs form on the treated area, this crust must not be removed under any circumstances, otherwise germs can penetrate. The scab will loosen on its own, this is part of the healing process.
- Any sores that appear must also not be scratched or pricked.
- After the first 4 days, the treated area should be given plenty of air, and it should also be disinfected regularly.
- Saunas and swimming should be avoided for the first 7 days. This can only be done when the skin has completely healed.
- At least 4 weeks after treatment, the skin must be protected from direct sunlight.
- The fabric of the clothes should not chafe
- Sweat can lead to inflammation. Sports activities should be stopped in the first days after treatment.
- Drink plenty of fluids. This allows the color particles to be better transported away in the body via the lymphatic system.
Picosecond lasers have an extremely shortened pulse duration. This enables more effective and targeted treatment. A picosecond is one thousandth of a nanosecond. The shorter pulse duration allows for much higher energy to be delivered. As a result, fewer treatments are needed. Picosecond lasers are also gentler on the skin, less painful and more effective than nanosecond lasers. With the picosecond laser, almost all colors can be completely removed, even those for which the nanosecond laser was no longer effective.
