How does the LightSense laser system break down tattoo ink?

Here's how the LightSense™ laser system breaks down the ink in your tattoo:

  1. Tattoo ink is a foreign substance in the body, so the body naturally tries to remove it. But the ink pigments are purposefully too big for the body to remove, making the tattoo permanent.
  2. Our low-energy LightSense™ laser emits light in different beams of light to gently and effectively break down the ink pigment into small particles without leaving long-term damage behind.
  3. Once the ink particles are in a smaller form, the immune system can clear the pigment through the lymphatic system.
  4. The LightSense™ laser system delivers energy to where it’s really needed (the ink molecules) using our precise, targeted and accurate laser scanning system. Achieve removal results without the high-energy blast or long-term skin damage.
  5. Faster results, less time. Clear your tattoo in less time with more frequent sessions, on average every 2-3 weeks versus the advised wait of 6-10 weeks with Picosure and Picoway.
