LASER TATTOO REMOVAL PRE-TREATMENT INSTRUCTIONS
Preparing For Your Laser Tattoo Removal Treatment
Follow these guidelines unless your laser technician directs otherwise.
- We ask that you are freshly showered or bathed with completely clean skin, without lotions, oils, creams or fragrances of any kind before coming in. If there is excessive hair in the treatment area, we recommend shaving the area prior to treatment.
- Drink plenty of water in the days prior to your laser appointment. This is a game-changer for healing.
- Avoid sun exposure to the treatment area, and do not use UV tanning beds at all for four weeks before treatment. The use of self-tanning skin care products must be discontinued 2 weeks prior to treatment, and any residual self-tanner must be removed in order to perform the treatment.
- Numbing agents may not be used in the treatment area as it can interfere with the efficacy of treatment.
- Use a broad-spectrum sunblock with an SPF of 30 or above on a daily basis (rain or shine).
- Do not use any topical products that cause photosensitivity (e.g. hydroxy acids, salicylic acid, retinols, and benzoyl peroxide) in the treatment areas for three days before treatment. Use a gentle cleanser and lotion on treated areas.
- If you are taking any new or different medications, including antibiotics, contact our office prior to your appointment.
- If you have received any medical spa services in the treatment area, such as BOTOX®, dermal fillers, please contact our studio to ensure that treatment may still be performed.
LASER TATTOO REMOVAL POST-TREATMENT INSTRUCTIONS
After Your Laser Tattoo Removal Treatment
- Erythema (redness), edema (swelling), scabbing, flaking, irritation or blistering in treatment area will most likely occur. This may persist for several days. A white-gray discoloration (called “frosting) of the treatment area may appear immediately following treatment and last for a few minutes to a few days. Your tattoo may darken, lighten, fade or even appear to have no change immediately post treatment. On average, it takes 6-12 weeks for your body to process the pigment of the tattoo. Tattoo removal works by eliminating pigment in the tattoo through the body’s lymphatic system, therefore, treatment results will not be visibly evident for 8-12 weeks.
- Discomfort may be relieved by taking an over-the-counter pain reliever like Tylenol or by using ice packs in 20-30 minute intervals. If it becomes super itchy, Hydrocortisone cream is helpful as long as the skin is not open.
- Avoid sun exposure to the treatment area throughout the course of your laser treatments. If sun exposure is necessary, keep treatment area covered with a non-adherent bandage. Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight, and do not use UV tanning beds at all for four weeks after treatment.
- Once per day use a gentle soap to cleanse treatment area and pat dry. To keep the treatment area moist, apply Post Laser Aloe Gel and cover with a non-adherent bandage for 7-10 days post treatment, or until the treatment area is healed.
- If scabbing occurs, it is very important not to pick, shave, rub, scratch or aggressively wash the area to prevent possible scarring. If blistering occurs, do not drain blisters. Allow them to dry and heal on their own. Care should be taken to prevent trauma to the treated area for the first 7-10 days following treatment.
- Physical exercise (aerobics, sport activities) should be discontinued for 1 to 2 days. Rough physical activities (playing football) should be discontinued for 10 days post treatment.
- Do not immerse the treatment area in water for the first three weeks post procedure, or until the skin completely heals. This includes bathtubs, Jacuzzis, swimming pools, lakes, the ocean, etc.
- If the tattoo is on a lower extremity, keep the leg elevated to increase blood circulation which encourages the healing process.
- Return in 4- 6 weeks for assessment.
If you have any concerns or questions, please call our office at 863/401-8288.

What is Pico Laser Treatment?
The Pico Laser treatment is a procedure utilizing state-of-the-art laser technology to remove unwanted tattoos, treat brown spots, fine lines, wrinkles, and sun damage along with stimulating collagen and elastin production. This is a great treatment for busy professionals or patients who do not have time to take off to heal. For optimal results, a series of treatments are required. The Pico Laser’s precision and effectiveness mean it is a significant dermatological advancement in the field and is making it an extremely popular procedure to seek out, especially due to its safeness, minimal healing time, and beautiful results.
How Pico Laser Treatment Works
The PicoSure Laser is a unique laser that can be used for a variety of treatments such as tattoo removal and skin rejuvenation. This laser has been shown to have similar results to more invasive laser procedures without the downtime. The treatment feels like tiny elastics snapping on the skin and does not require numbing.
The technology behind the Pico Laser involves picosecond pulses that deliver light, which breaks up skin cells to promote collagen production and treat skin concerns, penetrating beneath the visible layer for longer-lasting results.
Benefits of Pico Laser Treatment
Faster Results
Pico Laser Treatment delivers faster and more noticeable results than traditional laser treatments. It can significantly reduce the appearance of skin imperfections in a shorter time.
Minimal Discomfort
Patients experience minimal discomfort during the procedure. Pico Lasers are designed to be gentle on the skin, causing less pain and reducing the need for anesthesia.
Reduced Downtime
Unlike some other treatments, Pico Laser Treatment typically has minimal downtime. Patients can often resume their daily activities immediately after the procedure, making it convenient for busy lifestyles.
Safe for All Skin Types
Pico Lasers are suitable for all skin types, including darker skin tones, without the risk of hyperpigmentation or scarring. This inclusivity makes it accessible to a broader patient demographic.

What to Expect During a Pico Laser Session
First, the Technicians at the Skinfinity Therapeutics will cleanse your skin thoroughly to remove any dirt and makeup, so the laser wave can thoroughly penetrate the skin’s layers. Your technician will then apply the laser to your treatment area(s), which takes 15-20 minutes per session.
There is minimal discomfort and downtime associated with this treatment, and Skinfinity Therapeutics takes every safety measure to ensure you enjoy optimal results with full safety and comfort.
Pico Laser Consultation Process
Before the actual treatment, you’ll have a consultation with a qualified Technician. During this consultation, you’ll discuss your skin concerns, medical history, and treatment goals. The Technician will assess your skin to determine if you are a suitable candidate for Pico Laser Treatment. A personalized treatment plan will be created based on your unique needs.
Pico Laser Pre-Treatment Preparations
Before the procedure, your skin will be thoroughly cleaned.
Pico Laser Treatment Session
Protective Eyewear
You will be provided with protective eyewear to shield your eyes from the laser light. It’s crucial to wear this eyewear throughout the session to protect your vision.
Pico Laser Application
The trained technician will use a handheld Pico Laser device to deliver precise energy pulses to the treatment area. The laser emits ultra-short pulses of energy, measured in picoseconds, to target specific skin concerns without damaging surrounding tissue.
Sensation During Treatment
During the Pico Laser session, you may feel slight sensations of heat or tingling as the laser is applied. Some people describe it as feeling like tiny, rapid pinpricks. The discomfort is typically minimal, especially when a topical anesthetic is used.
Targeted Treatment
The Technician will adjust the laser settings as needed to target your specific skin concern. This may involve varying the energy levels and the number of passes over the treatment area.
Post-Treatment Care
After the Pico Laser Treatment is complete, the treated area may be gently cleaned, and a soothing ointment or cream may be applied to help with healing. You will receive post-treatment care instructions, which may include avoiding direct sunlight, wearing sunscreen, and moisturizing the treated area.
Recovery
Many clients can return to their normal activities immediately after the session, as there is typically minimal downtime associated with Pico Laser Treatment. You may experience some redness, swelling, or mild discomfort, which should subside within a few days.
Follow-Up
Depending on your skin concern and treatment plan, you may require multiple Pico Laser sessions spaced several weeks apart for optimal results. Follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor your progress and adjust the treatment plan as necessary.
Is Pico Laser Treatment Right for You?
Pico Laser Treatment Eligibility
Skin Concerns
Individuals with specific skin concerns such as acne scars, pigmentation issues, fine lines, wrinkles, sunspots, and uneven skin texture are good candidates for Pico Laser Treatment. It is particularly effective at targeting these issues.
Safe For All Skin Types
Pico Lasers are safe for all skin types, including individuals with darker skin tones. Unlike other laser treatments, there is a lower risk of hyperpigmentation or scarring with Pico Laser.
Realistic Expectations
Good candidates should have realistic expectations about the outcomes of the treatment. While Pico Laser can significantly improve the skin’s appearance, it may not result in perfection, and multiple sessions may be required for optimal results.
Healthy Lifestyle
Individuals who lead a healthy lifestyle with good skincare habits will likely see the best results from Pico Laser Treatment. Avoiding excessive sun exposure and using sunscreen regularly is important.
No Active Skin Infections
Clients should not have active skin infections or conditions in the treatment area. The skin should be in relatively good health before undergoing Pico Laser Treatment.
Non-Smokers
Smoking can affect the skin’s ability to heal and regenerate. Non-smokers tend to have better outcomes from laser treatments like Pico Laser.
No Recent Tanning
Clients should avoid tanning beds and excessive sun exposure in the weeks leading up to the treatment. Sunburned or tanned skin can be more sensitive to laser energy.
Are Not Pregnant
Pregnant women are typically advised against Pico Laser Treatment, as its effects on pregnancy are not well understood. It’s essential to inform your technician if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant.
Safe and FDA-Approved
Pico Laser Treatment is a safe and FDA-approved procedure, ensuring that clients can trust in its effectiveness and safety.
Potential Side Effects of Pico Laser Treatment
Redness and Swelling
It’s common to experience redness and swelling at the treatment site immediately after the procedure. This typically subsides within a few hours to a few days.
Tenderness and Sensitivity
The treated area may feel tender or sensitive to the touch for a short period after the treatment.
Peeling or Flaking
The skin may peel or flake as it heals, particularly in the days following the treatment. This is a natural part of the skin’s renewal process.
Infection
Although rare, there is a risk of infection after Pico Laser Treatment. Follow post-treatment care instructions to clean the treated area and minimize this risk.
Scabbing
Scabbing can sometimes occur, particularly when treating skin imperfections like acne scars. Avoid picking at scabs to prevent complications.
Skin Sensitivity
Your skin may become more sensitive to sunlight following the procedure. It’s crucial to use sun protection and avoid excessive sun exposure during the healing process.
How many Pico Laser sessions are required for noticeable results?
Optimal and noticeable results can be achieved in 4-6 Pico Laser sessions.
How soon can I expect to see results after a Pico Laser session?
You will see results almost immediately following your treatment, and they will continue to improve and reduce your points of concern over a period of weeks.
How long should I wait between Pico Laser sessions?
We recommend attending 3-4 maintenance sessions, timed 4 weeks apart from each other. If you have a darker complexion, you may need to wait up to 8 weeks between appointments to ensure your treatments are safe and effective.
