PicoWay laser technology
Designed to target unwanted tattoo ink.
Laser tattoo removal uses concentrated light to break tattoo ink into very small fragments. The body gradually clears those fragments over time.
Nuderma uses the PicoWay laser, which delivers very short, high-intensity pulses and offers different wavelengths for specific ink colors. Black ink often responds more readily, while other colors may require a different wavelength and treatment plan.
Your treatment guide
What to know before you begin.
Number of sessions
Removal is rarely completed in one visit. The number of sessions varies with tattoo size, age, ink colors, skin characteristics, and individual response.
Spacing treatments
Sessions are spaced several weeks apart to give the body time to clear fragmented ink. Your specialist will recommend a personalized timeline.
Recovery
Temporary redness and mild swelling may occur. Some crusting can develop within 24–48 hours. The team will provide dressing, cleansing, and ointment instructions.
Preparation
Protect the area from sun exposure, disclose medications, stop topical retinoids on the area as directed, and arrive with the treatment area clean-shaven.
Treatment progression
Before, during and after.
Examples retained from Nuderma’s existing tattoo-removal page. Individual response and the number of sessions vary.
Common questions
Tattoo removal, explained.
How many sessions will I need?+
Most tattoos require multiple sessions. The total varies with tattoo size and age, ink colors, skin characteristics, and the way your body responds. Your Nuderma specialist will recommend a personal timeline after assessing the tattoo.
How far apart are sessions spaced?+
Treatments are generally spaced several weeks apart so the body has time to clear fragmented ink and the skin has time to recover. Your recommended interval may vary.
Does it hurt?+
Sensation varies by person, tattoo, and treatment area. Your specialist will explain what to expect and the comfort measures used during treatment before you begin.
What colors are hardest to remove?+
Black ink often responds most readily. Other colors can require specific PicoWay wavelengths and may clear at different rates.
Will it fully disappear?+
Complete clearance cannot be guaranteed. Results depend on the ink, tattoo depth and age, skin characteristics, treatment history, and individual response.
What is aftercare like?+
Temporary redness, mild swelling, or crusting can occur. Nuderma’s current guidance includes using ointment and a non-stick dressing for the instructed period, then gently cleansing the area beginning the following day.
Are there risks?+
Laser procedures can involve side effects and risks that vary by patient and treatment area. A consultation is used to review your skin, tattoo, medical history, medications, expected benefits, and potential risks.
Who should not have treatment?+
Suitability must be determined individually. Tell the care team about medications, antibiotics, recent sun exposure, skin changes, and relevant medical conditions so they can advise whether treatment should proceed or be postponed.
