PICO Laser Tattoo Removal.

 

Don’t live with regrets.

Whether it was a spur of the moment decision when you were younger or simply something you regret – that old tattoo doesn’t have to haunt you forever. At SkinDeep Cosmetic Laser Clinic in Lower Hutt, we offer safe laser tattoo removal to remove your unwanted ink.

Laser tattoo removal is a safe procedure that uses rapid bursts of laser energy to break down the tattoo ink and allow the normal healing process of the body to remove the unwanted pigments of the skin through the phagocytosis process.
Tattoos are designed to be permanent, so clearance may take between four and 10 treatments. Factors that influence the number of treatments necessary include skin type, tattoo colours, location on the body, amount of ink and presence of any scarring in the area.

Paying too-good-to-be-true prices for tattoo removal can lead to ineffective results. At skin deep we have found a balance that means we offer competitive prices and the most advanced European laser technology, maintaining the highest standards on safety, efficacy, cleanliness and results.

 

Our laser - Discovery PICO Plus by Quanta System

The Discovery PICO Plus from Italy is exceptionally effective for tattoo removal because it combines both Q‑switched and picosecond technologies with three powerful wavelengths—1064nm, 532nm, and 694nm—allowing it to target the full spectrum of tattoo colours, including notoriously stubborn blue and green pigments that many lasers struggle to break down. The Q‑switched mode delivers high‑energy pulses ideal for dense or older ink, while the picosecond mode produces ultra‑short bursts that create a strong photoacoustic effect, shattering pigment into much finer particles that the body can clear more efficiently. This dual capability means faster fading, fewer sessions, and better outcomes for both amateur and professional tattoos.

After the main tattoo‑removal pass, the treatment is followed with a fractional picosecond application, which creates microscopic channels in the skin to further disrupt remaining ink particles while simultaneously stimulating collagen production. This not only enhances ink clearance but also improves overall skin texture, helping to minimise any textural changes or ghosting left behind from the tattoo. Together, these features make the Discovery PICO Plus one of the most advanced and comprehensive tattoo‑removal systems available, delivering safer, faster, and more complete results across all skin types.
