Rapid Tattoo Removal for Clients in Utah County and Surrounding Areas
PicoWay™ Rapid Tattoo Removal
It’s groundbreaking—and it’s available at Inklifters in Utah!
It is estimated that 32% of the US population between the ages of 30 and 45 have at least one tattoo according to a 2013 Pew Research Study. And it is estimated at least 20% have or will have them removed. Luckily, now there is a better option.
The picosecond technology in the PicoWay™ laser marks a new era of laser tattoo removal. Picosecond incorporates the latest in laser technology in order to remove tattoos more effectively than ever before. Watch the following live demo of a tattoo removal in Utah performed by our Medical Director, Dr. Kimball M. Crofts here at Inklifters.
Q-Switched Lasers vs. PicoWay™
Picosecond technology is different from the Q-switched lasers that have been used for years in laser tattoo removal in Utah. Q-Switched lasers essentially heat up the tissue to remove ink particles—leaving the skin irritated, scarred, and burned.
Q-switched lasers require longer light pulses and leave larger particles of ink. As a result, Q-switched lasers require more sessions, which are longer and more painful. See the photos below for how Q-switched lasers and the Picosecond based lasers break up ink.
Why Picosecond Technology Is So Different
Picosecond laser systems deploy ultra-short picosecond pulses of energy to the skin to remove tattoos. These short pulses from the laser create a photomechanical effect called PressureWave™.

How does PressureWave work?
It breaks ink into tiny, dust-like particles that the body can easily eliminate. Picosecond lasers are able to target dark inks while avoiding surrounding unmarked skin tissue.
What Picosecond Technology Means for You
Simply put, you can achieve superior results more quickly—with less discomfort. Picosecond Laser Technology:
- Requires fewer laser tattoo sessions
- Does not injure surrounding unmarked skin
- Targets difficult to remove colors like blues and greens
- Can be used on previously treated tattoos for quicker results
- Requires much less recovery time than other laser tattoo removal techniques
- Delivers clear, healthy tattoo and spot-free skin faster
