The PicoWay® laser is different. Miami tattoo removal can remove tattoos of with a wide variety of pigments and on patients of all skin types, faster, more effectively, and with less pain than traditional laser tattoo removal Miami, FL methods.
What is the
PicoWay® Tattoo Removal Treatment?
At their core, tattoos are essentially just several different pigments of color injected deep into the skin. Traditional laser tattoo removal treatments in Miami utilize laser energy delivered in a consistent beam to break up this pigmentation, allowing it to be eliminated by the body. While this method has proven to be somewhat effective in removing tattoos, small bits of pigmentation are often left behind and the pain of treatment is difficult for patients to tolerate.
PicoWay Laser
Dr. Adam Gropper and his expert staff have one of the best lasers on the market for tattoo removal – the PicoWay laser. It is very effective because it releases a high amount of energy in short bursts that shatters ink particles into tiny pieces that your skin can then absorb. It is even successful in targeting the toughest ink colors like blue and green, and can also help all different skin types and colors. Due to the short but strong bursts, the laser allows us to really focus on the pigment and that means fewer treatments for our patients with much faster results.
Numbing Option
A laser on your skin may seem painful but in reality, it’s more uncomfortable than anything else. However, for those who don’t want to feel anything, there have been advances in numbing options such as creams or cryogenic devices that numb the skin with cold air before the laser treatment is performed. By using cold air to numb the area that will be treated, this option not only improves your comfort but also reduces swelling and minimizes irritation of the skin.
Whether it’s a poor teenage decision or a now broken heart, there are many reasons people choose to remove their tattoos. A tattoo was once a permanent part of you when it was inked into your skin, but with a few recent advances in technology, your tattoo can go from a permanent part of your future to a disappearing part of your past.

How does it work?
Instead of delivering laser energy is a concentrated beam at the site of tattoos, our Miami laser tattoo removal process delivers intense laser energy in ultra-short bursts. Each of these bursts can be measured in picoseconds, or one trillionth of a second. These bursts have a photo-acoustic effect on the tattoo pigments, breaking pigmentation up completely and allowing it to be absorbed by the body more quickly. These quick, short bursts of energy allow doctors to hone in on small areas of pigmentation without forcing the patient to endure painful, prolonged exposure to laser energy.

Potential Risks of Traditional Laser Tattoo Removal for Darker Skin
There are certain risks that traditional laser tattoo removal offers for everyone. They include scabbing, blistering, swelling, and itching. However, there are some risks that are more likely to occur in individuals with darker skin. These risks include:
- Hyperpigmentation: With traditional tattoo laser removal, the pulses of light waves that are used to break up the ink can have an effect on the pigmentation of the skin. It can result in hyperpigmentation, which is the creation of patches of dark skin. In some instances, the hyperpigmentation will dissipate over the course of a few months or years.
- Hypopigmentation: This is where the natural pigmentation of the skin is actually removed, and light patches of skin become visible where the tattoo was. The contrast between the light skin and a person’s naturally healthy dark skin can be quite jarring.
- Keloid Scars: Although keloid scars are relatively rare, they happen when a thickened overgrowth of scar tissue develops around the wound caused by the laser. They are sometimes permanent.
With the above-mentioned risks, it is understandable why individuals with darker skin may be reluctant to use traditional laser tattoo removal procedures. Fortunately, PicoWay® all but eliminates the above-mentioned risk factors.
