Understanding the Laser Tattoo Removal Process with TakeTatt
Explore the cutting-edge technology behind the Lumenis PiQo4 laser and see how our cryogen numbing ensures a comfortable experience. At TakeTatt, we make tattoo removal efficient, effective, and virtually painless.
Let's Break Up Some Ink
The Lumenis PiQo4 laser emits precise, high-intensity light pulses that penetrate the skin to target the tattoo ink particles. These powerful laser pulses break the ink into tiny fragments, which the body's immune system can then naturally absorb and eliminate over time. This process ensures effective fading and eventual removal of the tattoo with minimal discomfort.
Increased Efficiency
The Lumenis PiQo4 laser is extremely efficient, targeting ink particles with its advanced technology to break them up quickly and effectively.
Fewer Sessions
Thanks to its powerful and precise performance, we can often remove tattoos in fewer sessions compared to traditional methods, saving you time and effort.
Your Immune System Flushes Out The Tattoo Ink
Macrophages are a type of white blood cell that play a crucial role in the body’s immune system. After the laser breaks up the tattoo ink into tiny fragments, macrophages come into action. These cells engulf and digest the broken ink particles, facilitating their removal from the skin. Over time, the macrophages transport the ink fragments to the lymphatic system for elimination. This natural biological process helps the body gradually fade and ultimately clear the tattoo from the skin.
Hydration
Drinking plenty of water boosts your body’s natural detoxification processes, helping macrophages more efficiently remove the fragmented ink particles. Staying well-hydrated supports overall skin health and accelerates the tattoo fading process.
Staying Active
Regular exercise increases blood circulation, which can enhance the activity of macrophages. Improved circulation helps transport ink particles to the lymphatic system more rapidly, aiding in quicker and more effective tattoo removal.
Be Patience, Tattoo Takes Time
Patience is key when undergoing laser tattoo removal. The process requires multiple sessions spaced out over weeks or months to allow your skin and immune system to properly heal and eliminate the ink particles. Remember, each session brings you one step closer to clear skin, so trust the process and give your body the time it needs to work its magic.
Average Number of Sessions
Most clients need an average of 6 to 9 sessions to achieve optimal results.
Total Timeline
The total time for complete tattoo removal is typically about a year, allowing for proper healing and effective ink elimination between sessions.

Frequently asked questions
Commonly asked questions about the laser tattoo removal process
PiQo4 laser is a cutting-edge laser technology that utilizes short, powerful pulses of energy to dismantle tattoo dye particles in the skin. This advanced laser can be applied to virtually any area of the body with unwanted tattoos and presents fewer risks compared to other tattoo removal methods.
PiQo4 laser operates by emitting short pulses of energy into the skin, which are absorbed by the tattoo dye. This breaks the dye molecules apart, and a subsequent treatment further disintegrates the smaller particles. As the pigment breaks down, the body’s lymphatic system naturally removes it, resulting in effective tattoo removal.
Wide Spectrum of Ink Colors: The PiQo4 laser uses four different wavelengths, enabling it to treat the broadest range of ink colors compared to other lasers.
Nanosecond and Picosecond Pulses: These rapid pulses effectively shatter tattoo dyes, requiring fewer treatments.
Larger Spot Treatments: PiQo4 can handle larger tattoos efficiently, minimizing the length of treatment sessions.
Individuals with unwanted tattoos looking for effective removal are generally good candidates for PiQo4 laser treatment. However, certain skin types, tones, or health conditions may necessitate consultation with a dermatologist to determine if PiQo4 is the right option for safe and efficient tattoo removal.
PiQo4 laser treatments are quick but can be painful, typically requiring the use of topical anesthesia or other pain relief measures. The duration of the treatment session depends on your tattoo's size and color. Multiple sessions, spaced out over weeks or months, are often necessary to achieve optimal results.
The cost of PiQo4 laser treatments varies depending on the number of sessions and the specific areas treated. Generally, each session ranges between $135 and $260 at TakeTatt.
PiQo4 laser is considered the safest and most effective method to diminish unwanted tattoos. The associated risks are minimal, and side effects tend to be mild and temporary.
Mild, temporary side effects of PiQo4 laser may include redness, blistering, swelling, and bruising. Rare, more serious side effects could include burning, scarring, and changes in skin color.
