Choosing PicoMax for the best tattoo removal in Portsmouth

The PicoMax is one of the latest additions to the clinic at Perfect Skin Solutions, and has been showing excellent results when it comes to being the best tattoo removal device on the market. PicoMax is a picosecond medical grade laser (hence how it got its name) that can operate at 4 different wavelengths, which means it can treat a variety of issues – including pigmentation and scarring – successfully.
This week, Dr Dev Patel discusses the best tattoo removal using PicoMax and how non-surgical tattoo removal can not only destroy unwanted body art, but also help to rejuvenate the skin. Tattoo removal is a non-surgical form of skin rejuvenation that uses an advanced laser to gradually break down the pigment from tattoo ink. A course of treatments is required and once your bespoke treatment package is completed, the unwanted body art is gone forever.

Unlike older or less effective forms of tattoo removal, treatments using the PicoMax, are incredibly effective and offer results that can last a lifetime. Due to the advanced nature of the technology, the PicoMax is able to remove tattoos during a course of treatments without damaging the skin around the tattoo, leading to a great result and minimal downtime. The PicoMax laser works in ‘picoseconds’ which is one trillionth of a second, which means it releases light energy faster, which reduces the risk of damaging the surrounding skin tissue.

‘What does PicoMax feel like?’ you may be wondering: in some cases, clients may feel a warm sensation where the energy is penetrating the skin. Comparatively to any form of surgical treatment or less advanced forms of tattoo removal technologies, our clients have found the PicoMax laser to be more tolerable, however there is still some level of discomfort.

The PicoMax Laser is one of the best forms of tattoo removal and we are happy to announce it is suitable for patients of all ages, and both men and women seek this form of skin rejuvenation treatment at the clinic. One of the benefits of choosing to undergo tattoo removal treatments using the PicoMax (aside from being one of the best tattoo removal technologies) is that it is largely suitable for most patients seeking to remove unwanted body art.

Depending on whether the tattoo you wish to have removed is small or large, we will be able to treat it. No matter what colour your tattoo is, we will tailor a bespoke treatment plan; our aim: to remove your tattoo in as few sessions as possible. Usually, a small tattoo in black ink is likely to require fewer treatment sessions than a larger tattoo in red ink. Red, orange and yellow ink is infamously hard to treat with tattoo removal lasers, however PicoMax is one of the best on the market for laser tattoo removal as it utilises a 532nm wavelength to target these colours, making it more effective.

One of the main benefits of undergoing tattoo removal treatment using this advanced device is how it can be used on all colours. In the past, this form of energy assisted device has often been inappropriate for people with darker pigmented skin, or clients who may have sensitive skin. The beauty of PicoMax (and why we’re so delighted to offer it to patients) is its versatility.

Testimonials

I had the Dermalux treatment. It’s was wonderful and the results were instant my skin is glowing, skin tone has evened out. What a wonderful product. Thank you guys.

— Michelle – Dermalux Tri-Wave MD

Thank you for your wonderful service. Friendly, competent, and professional. I was put at ease before the procedure and reassured throughout. We also had a nice, intelligent, random subject chat afterwards! Perfect. The procedure site is healing very well indeed. When I look in the mirror, I sigh with relief that the mole has been removed. It has increased my personal confidence and self esteem dramatically. I would absolutely recommend this practice for all minor surgeries.

— Leonie | Mole Removal

The staff were amazing and made me feel really at ease. I had 5 moles removed from my face that have bothered me my whole life. I’m so pleased with the results. My skin looks so clear!

— Claire | Mole Removal

A very responsible clinic, with professional and friendly staff. I have had two moles removed using Plexr with Dr Vivek Shrivastva and was very happy with the whole process. The first healed extremely well and am anticipating a similarly excellent result with this most recent removal.

— Hannah | Mole Removal

Wow! I had had the new Sofwave a noninvasive tissue tightening and lifting treatment. Laura was as ever assured and confident in applying this new procedure and excellent in ensuring I was comfortable at all times. What I found to be the most extraordinary – was there was absolutely no downtime, any redness had gone before I had even left the Clinic! I can’t wait to see the results!

— Sue | Sofwave

I’m incredibly happy with my recent and past visits with Dr Shrivastva. He helped me with what I wanted to achieve yet had the professional knowledge on how the procedure would affect my face negatively and advised against what I initially wanted. Because of this, I feel that Perfect Skin Solutions put the client first always. I’m incredibly happy with my results and wouldn’t go anywhere else!
