Rohrer PicoLazer Tattoo Removal
Advanced Rohrer PicoLazer Tattoo Removal Technology
Rohrer PicoLazer Tattoo Removal offers an advanced solution for removing unwanted tattoos using innovative picosecond laser technology. Whether your tattoo no longer reflects your style, has faded over time, or you're preparing for a cover-up, Rohrer PicoLazer Tattoo Removal safely breaks tattoo ink into tiny particles that your body naturally removes over time. Additionally, every treatment is customized to your tattoo, skin type, and desired results.
What Is the Rohrer PicoLazer?
The Rohrer PicoLazer is a dual-wavelength picosecond Nd:YAG laser that delivers ultra-short bursts of laser energy measured in trillionths of a second. These rapid pulses create a photoacoustic effect that shatters tattoo pigment into microscopic particles while limiting heat exposure to the surrounding skin.
The laser features two treatment wavelengths:
- 1064 nm: Commonly used for black, blue, and other darker tattoo inks.
- 532 nm: Targets many red, orange, and certain lighter-colored pigments when appropriate.
As a result, this combination allows providers to treat a broad range of tattoo colors with greater precision.
How Rohrer PicoLazer Tattoo Removal Works
Tattoos deposit ink deep within the skin, where it remains because the pigment particles are too large for the body to remove naturally. The Rohrer PicoLazer breaks these particles into much smaller fragments that your body's immune system can gradually clear away.
Additionally, each treatment progressively lightens the tattoo, with fading continuing for several weeks after every session.
Laser energy shatters the ink into tiny particles, which your body then clears away through the lymphatic system.
Benefits of Rohrer PicoLazer Tattoo Removal
Patients choose the Rohrer PicoLazer for several reasons, including:

What to Expect After Rohrer PicoLazer Tattoo Removal
Your appointment begins with a consultation to evaluate your tattoo and discuss your treatment goals.
During your session:
1. First, your provider cleanses the treatment area and provides protective eyewear.
2. Next, your provider may use a cooling method or topical anesthetic to improve comfort.
3. Then, the PicoLazer delivers rapid pulses of laser energy to the tattoo.
4. Finally, the treated area may appear white or frosted immediately after treatment, followed by mild redness or swelling.
Most treatment sessions are relatively quick, depending on the size and complexity of the tattoo.
Tattoo Removal Before & After
Ink breaks down gradually over a series of sessions, so most tattoos fade progressively rather than disappearing after a single visit.

How Many Rohrer PicoLazer Tattoo Removal Treatments Will I Need?
Tattoo removal is a gradual process, and most tattoos require multiple treatment sessions.
The number of treatments depends on several factors, including:
- Tattoo size
- Ink colors
- Professional versus amateur tattoo
- Ink depth and density
- Age of the tattoo
- Location on the body
- Individual immune response
We typically space treatments 6–8 weeks apart to allow the skin to heal and your body to remove fragmented pigment.
Tattoo Colors That Can Be Treated
Different tattoo colors absorb laser energy differently. The Rohrer PicoLazer is commonly used to treat:
- Black
- Dark blue
- Gray
- Brown
- Red
- Orange
However, some colors, such as green, turquoise, yellow, and white, may be more challenging to remove and can require additional treatments or alternative laser technologies.
Rohrer PicoLazer Tattoo Removal Aftercare
Following treatment, you may experience temporary redness, swelling, or mild tenderness. However, these effects usually resolve within a few days.
To promote proper healing:
- Keep the treated area clean and dry.
- Follow your provider's aftercare instructions.
- To protect your results, avoid excessive sun exposure and apply sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher every day after healing.
- Do not pick at any scabbing or blistering that may occur.
- Allow adequate healing time before your next treatment.
Overall, proper aftercare helps support the healing process and optimize your results.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is tattoo removal painful?
Most patients compare the sensation to the snap of a rubber band against the skin. Additionally, topical numbing cream or cooling methods can help improve comfort during treatment.
Will my tattoo disappear completely?
Many tattoos can be significantly lightened, and some may be removed completely. However, results vary depending on the tattoo’s characteristics, and complete removal cannot be guaranteed.
Is there downtime?
However, most patients return to normal daily activities immediately after treatment, although temporary redness, swelling, or sensitivity is common.
Can I remove a tattoo before getting a cover-up?
Yes. Many people choose to lighten an existing tattoo before having new artwork placed over it. As a result, reducing the amount of old pigment can provide your tattoo artist with greater flexibility when designing a cover-up.
Is it safe?
Yes—when performed correctly. Our trained providers use the Rohrer PicoLazer’s advanced technology and follow strict safety protocols to help minimize risk to your skin.
