Why Are Tattoos So Hard to Remove?
Tattoos are difficult to remove because pigment particles — especially blue, green, and black ink — are embedded deep in the dermis. Traditional lasers rely on photothermal effects to break down these pigments, but residual micro-particles can be re-encapsulated by macrophages, leading to incomplete pigment clearance. In addition, excessive energy may damage the skin, causing scarring or hyperpigmentation.
Picosecond Laser — Faster, More Precise, and Gentler
De picosecond laser levert ultra-short pulses — 1/1000 of a nanosecond — to shatter pigment particles instantly without significant heat diffusion. Specific wavelengths, such as 755 nm, precisely target dark and blue-green pigments, minimizing post-treatment redness and pigmentation risk. Most clients require only 3–6 sessies to fade the majority of the tattoo, compared with 8–12 using traditional lasers.
Fractional CO₂ Laser — Repair and Resurface the Skin
De fractional CO₂ laser creates microscopic thermal zones on the skin surface, stimulating Collageen remodellering and accelerating pigment metabolism. This method reduces scarring risks and improves overall skin texture — especially beneficial for older tattoos or uneven skin. After treatment, the skin becomes smoother and more refined.
Combination Therapy: Picosecond + Fractional CO₂ Laser
When used together, picosecond and fractional CO₂ lasers deliver superior outcomes:
- Step 1: Picosecond laser targets and shatters deep pigment clusters.
- Step 2: Fractional CO₂ laser enhances epidermal repair and pigment elimination.
According to the 2023 Journal of Laser Dermatology, this 1+1 synergy increases pigment clearance by 30–50%, shortens downtime to 3-5 dagen (versus 7–10 days), and reduces scarring or pigmentation rates by over 60%.

Veelgestelde vragen
How many sessions are needed for tattoo removal?
Most tattoos fade significantly after 3–6 picosecond laser sessions. Combination therapy with a fractional CO₂ laser can further speed up pigment clearance and skin recovery.
Is de behandeling pijnlijk?
Discomfort is minimal — comparable to a light snap of a rubber band. Numbing cream or cold air cooling is usually enough for comfort during treatment.
Can all colors be removed?
Yes. Picosecond lasers with 755 nm and 1064 nm wavelengths effectively remove black, blue, and green inks, while 532 nm works best for red and yellow pigments.
