The Tattoo Regret Is Real, But So Is Ink Removal That Works
Let’s be honest - not every tattoo ages well (insert awkward face emoji!). You know the ones you’re a little embarrassed to show off, or tell the story behind? Maybe it was a late-night impulse, maybe the design doesn’t feel like “you” anymore, the ink itself just hasn’t stood the test of time, or your boyfriend from when you were 17 isn’t in the picture anymore…. Whatever the reason, tattoo regret is real. The good news? There’s an advanced laser tattoo removal just for that.
PicoSure® Pro is the gold standard in modern tattoo removal technology.
How It Works (The Science Made Simple)
Traditional lasers relied on heat to break down tattoo pigment. That often meant more pain, longer recovery, and inconsistent results - especially on stubborn ink colors like blue or green. PicoSure® Pro does it differently. Instead of just blasting the ink with heat, it uses ultra-short picosecond pulses of energy (that’s one trillionth of a second) to deliver a photomechanical impact.
Instead of roasting the ink with heat, PicoSure® Pro hits it with ultra-fast pulses that shatter pigment into teeny-tiny dust-like bits. Your body’s lymphatic system does the cleanup crew work, flushing it out naturally. Translation? Quicker fading, fewer sessions, and way less drama for your skin.
What You Can Expect
Real progress, real quick. Most clients start to see visible fading after 1–2 sessions, with full removal typically requiring multiple treatments spaced 6–8 weeks apart. This is way better than the traditional 10 plus sessions of older treatments (!).
Safe for all skin types. PicoSure® Pro is designed to minimize risk of scarring or textural changes, even on darker skin tones.
Handles the “tough stuff.” Black ink is the easiest, but PicoSure® Pro is also effective on hard-to-treat colors like blues, greens, and reds.
Minimal downtime. You may notice some redness, swelling, or light scabbing for a few days, but most people go right back to normal routines.
Why Choose This Over “Old School” Removal
Older laser technologies often required double (sometimes triple) the number of sessions and carried higher risks of burns or ghosting (ink residue). PicoSure® Pro is more powerful. By working at the picosecond level, it prioritizes precision over aggressive force. That means a safer, more comfortable treatment with results you’ll actually notice.
Tattoo Removal FAQs
Does it hurt?
Most clients describe it as a quick snapping or tingling sensation - similar to getting the tattoo in the first place, but much faster. Treatments are short, and we can use cooling techniques to make it more comfortable.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on the size, age, color, and location of your tattoo, as well as your skin type. On average, complete removal takes 4–10 sessions. At Bonita, we will give you a personalized plan during your consultation.
Will it completely disappear?
In most cases, yes. Black and dark inks respond the fastest, while lighter and brighter colors may take more sessions. Even stubborn tattoos usually fade enough to be removed or successfully covered up with new ink.
Is it safe for all skin tones?
Yes! PicoSure® Pro is designed to be safe and effective on all skin types, with less risk of scarring or pigment changes compared to older lasers.
What does recovery look like?
After treatment, you may notice redness, swelling, or light scabbing. This usually resolves within a few days to a week. You’ll want to avoid sun exposure and follow simple aftercare instructions for the best results.
