Tattoo Removal with Pico Laser: The Fastest and Safest Way to Clear Your Ink

Pico laser tattoo removal is the fastest, safest, and most effective method for removing unwanted tattoos. It uses ultra-short energy pulses to break down ink without causing skin burns. Compared to older lasers, Pico requires fewer sessions, works on all skin tones, and is safe for all skin types.

If you're in Amsterdam and searching for a trusted solution, Pico laser is the top choice. In this blog, you'll learn how it works, how many sessions you need, what to expect, and why it's the best option for modern tattoo removal.

Pico Laser: The Smarter Way to Remove Tattoos

Pico laser is an advanced treatment that targets tattoo ink using picosecond pulses—that's one trillionth of a second. These ultra-fast bursts create a pressure wave that breaks ink into microscopic dust. Your body then naturally clears the particles.

There's no heat involved. That's the key. No heat means no burns or skin damage. This method is fast, gentle, and ideal for removing all types of tattoos—black, colored, new, or old.

Pico Laser vs Q-Switched Laser: What Sets It Apart?

Pico laser is a major upgrade. It's faster and more precise than Q-switched lasers. Here's how they compare:

Feature	Pico Laser	Q-Switched Laser
Pulse Speed	Picoseconds	Nanoseconds
Skin Safety	Very High	Moderate
Pain Level	Lower	Higher
Sessions Needed	3-8	8–15
Color Effectiveness	All colors	Limited
Risk of Scarring	Minimal	Possible

Is Pico Laser Right for You? Here's Who Benefits Most

Pico lasers are safe, fast, and suitable for a wide range of people. If your tattoo is large, small, colorful, or faded, Pico offers superior results with minimal risk.

Candidate Profile	Details
Ink Type	Works on both black and colored ink (including red, green, and blue)
Tattoo Size	Suitable for small, medium, or large tattoos
Tattoo Quality	Removes both professional and amateur (DIY) tattoos
Skin Tones	Safe for all skin tones, including melanin-rich and darker skin

Pico laser delivers consistent, scar-free results, even for complex tattoos or hard-to-treat ink colors. If you've struggled with other methods, Pico is the solution that works for you.

Number of Sessions Needed for Safe, Complete Fading

Most tattoos need around 3 to 8 Pico laser sessions. That's far fewer than traditional methods. Results build with each visit. 

• Lighter ink fades faster. 

• Older tattoos often respond better. 

• Location on the body matters, too. 

• Areas with better blood flow heal quicker. 

• Skin tone also plays a role. So does your immune system. 

Lana Skyn's clients see visible fading after just 2 sessions. Treatments are spaced 6 to 8 weeks apart. This allows your skin time to heal and naturally clear the ink. Progress is steady. The results? Worth the wait.

Can Pico Remove Colored Tattoos?

Pico laser is built for color tattoo removal, clearing shades like red, green, blue, yellow, orange, and even purple. These pigments were once too deep or resistant for older lasers. 

Now, with Pico's precise multi-wavelength energy, they fade faster and more evenly without damaging your skin. Laser experts fine-tune each session to match your skin tone and ink. The result? Real fading, real progress, fewer sessions. 

Thus, if your tattoo is bold and colorful, Pico is the most advanced solution for safely and effectively removing it right here in Amsterdam.

Is Pico Laser Safe for Dark Skin?

Absolutely. Unlike traditional lasers that use heat, the Pico laser is non-thermal. That means there's little to no risk of hypopigmentation or scarring.

It's the best option for melanin-rich skin, including Fitzpatrick types IV-VI. Whether you're light brown, dark brown, or Black, Pico offers safe, controlled, and even removal.

How Much Does Pico Laser Tattoo Removal Cost in Amsterdam?

In Amsterdam, Pico laser tattoo removal typically costs between €90 and €400 per session, depending on tattoo size, ink color, and skin type. Multicolored or layered tattoos usually require more sessions and higher-intensity settings. This process makes treatments more expensive elsewhere.

Tattoo Size	Amsterdam Average
Small (1–3 cm)	€90 – €150
Medium (4–8 cm)	€150 – €250
Large (9+ cm)	€250 – €400+

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Pico laser tattoo removal hurt?

Pico laser feels like light snapping or flicking on the skin. Most clients find the procedure tolerable, and we offer cooling or numbing cream to help keep you comfortable during treatment.

Will my tattoo be removed entirely?

Most tattoos fade between 90–100% with Pico laser treatment. Very deep or densely inked tattoos may leave a slight shadow, but results are usually smooth and natural.

Can I remove a tattoo from sensitive areas?

Yes, the Pico laser is safe for delicate areas, such as the neck, wrists, ankles, and fingers. Our treatments are gentle and customized for sensitive skin zones.

Can I get a new tattoo over the same area after removal?

Yes, many clients remove or fade an old tattoo to prepare for a new design. Once the skin has fully healed, you can safely get inked again in the same spot.

When will I start seeing results?

You may notice visible fading after just 1–2 sessions. Complete results usually take a few months, depending on the number of sessions and your skin's healing response.
