Tattoos don’t have to be permanent. Whether you’re looking to fade a design for a cover-up or completely remove an old tattoo, PicoSure tattoo removal offers one of the most advanced options available today. At Premier Laser & Skin Clinic, we provide expert laser tattoo removal using the industry-leading PicoSure device across our London locations. This next-generation technology enables faster results, fewer sessions, and greater precision, even on stubborn or multicoloured tattoos.
Unlike older lasers that rely on heat, PicoSure Laser uses ultra-fast bursts of light to target ink particles with less damage to surrounding skin. This means treatment is not only more effective, but also more comfortable and with minimal downtime. If you’ve been told in the past that your tattoo was too difficult to remove, or if you’ve had laser sessions that didn’t deliver, PicoSure may offer a better solution.
How PicoSure Works
PicoSure is the first FDA-cleared laser to use picosecond technology, delivering energy in trillionths of a second. These incredibly fast pulses create a powerful impact that shatters ink into microscopic particles. Once fragmented, the ink is naturally cleared by the body over time.
Because the energy pulses are so quick, less heat is generated. This makes PicoSure gentler on the skin while still being extremely effective at breaking down pigment. The treatment is safe for most skin types and can be used on a wide range of ink colours and tattoo sizes, including older or previously treated tattoos that haven’t fully faded.
