During tattoo removal, the Pico or Picosecond laser breaks pigment particles inside the skin.
While this is effective, it also stresses the skin and may cause:
- swelling
- redness
- water blisters
- slow healing
- risk of post-inflammatory scarring
This is where CO₂ fractional laser becomes extremely valuable.
Below are the five key reasons CO₂ fractional laser dramatically improves healing after tattoo removal:
1. CO₂ Creates Micro-Channels That Prevent Blisters
Picosecond tattoo removal pushes a large amount of energy into the skin to break ink particles.
This can trap heat and fluid under the epidermis, leading to water blisters.
CO₂ fractional laser creates thousands of tiny ventilation holes in the skin.
These micro-channels:
- allow heat to escape
- reduce skin pressure
- prevent fluid accumulation
2. It Accelerates Skin Regeneration
Tattoo removal can damage the epidermis.
CO₂ fractional laser stimulates the skin’s wound-healing cascade, including:
- fibroblast activation
- collagen remodeling
- elastin regeneration
It helps rebuild fresh tissue faster and more evenly.
👉 Result: quicker healing and smoother skin recovery.
3. It Reduces the Risk of Scarring
Without CO₂, tattoo removal can sometimes cause:
- hypertrophic scars
- uneven skin texture
- pigment irregularities
CO₂ fractional laser keeps the dermis soft and in a regenerative state, minimizing fibrosis.
👉 Result: greatly reduced scar formation risk.
4. It Improves Skin Texture After Pigment Removal
After ink is broken by Pico, the skin may feel rough or uneven.
CO₂ fractional laser smooths the surface by:
- resurfacing damaged layers
- stimulating collagen
- tightening pores
- improving overall texture
👉 Result: the treated area becomes smoother, flatter, and more refined.
5. It Creates a Better Healing Environment for Cleared Pigment
After Pico breaks ink into tiny particles, the body must clear them through lymphatic drainage.
Healthy, oxygenated skin heals faster and supports better ink elimination.
CO₂ fractional laser enhances:
- blood flow
- oxygen supply
- microcirculation
- immune cell activity
👉 Result: more efficient ink clearance and more even final results.
⭐ Why Professionals Combine Pico + CO₂
Using both technologies gives the best outcome:
Pico Laser
