Why Choose Dr. Avaliani for Tattoo Removal?
PicoSure is the world’s first picosecond laser for tattoo removal, delivering ultra-short pulses at one trillionth of a second to shatter ink particles without damaging surrounding skin. Unlike traditional Q-switched lasers that require up to 20 sessions, PicoSure can achieve 80–90% clearance in as few as 4–6 treatments — treating all ink colors on all skin types (FDA-cleared for Fitzpatrick I–VI).

What Is PicoSure Tattoo Removal?
PicoSure is the world’s first picosecond aesthetic laser, delivering ultra-short bursts of energy in trillionths of a second. Unlike traditional nanosecond lasers that rely on heat to break down ink, PicoSure uses PressureWave™ technology to create a photomechanical impact that shatters ink particles into tiny fragments — small enough for your body’s immune system to naturally eliminate them.
At Dr. Avaliani’s practice, every PicoSure session is performed with meticulous attention to laser parameters. The picosecond pulses target ink particles with precision, generating a pressure wave that shatters pigment into microscopic fragments without the thermal damage associated with traditional lasers. This means less risk of scarring, hyperpigmentation, and skin texture changes — and faster overall clearance.
How PicoSure Tattoo Removal Works
PicoSure tattoo removal follows a straightforward, proven protocol:
Dr. Avaliani evaluates your tattoo — ink colors, depth, density, location, and skin type — to design the optimal removal plan
Topical numbing cream is applied 20 minutes before treatment. Air cooling systems provide additional comfort during the session
PicoSure delivers ultra-short picosecond pulses that create a pressure wave, shattering ink particles into microscopic fragments
Your immune system naturally absorbs and eliminates the shattered ink particles over the following 4–8 weeks
Over 4–6 sessions (spaced 4–8 weeks apart), the tattoo progressively fades until 80–90% clearance is achieved
What We Can Remove
Full Tattoo Removal
Complete removal of unwanted tattoos on any body area. PicoSure’s picosecond technology shatters all ink colors — including stubborn greens, blues, and reds — achieving 80–90% clearance in significantly fewer sessions than traditional lasers.
Selective Lightening
Targeted lightening of specific tattoo areas in preparation for a cover-up design. Dr. Avaliani can selectively fade portions of an existing tattoo while leaving other areas intact, giving your tattoo artist a better canvas for the new design.
Multicolor Tattoos
Tattoos with multiple ink colors that traditional lasers struggle to remove. PicoSure is FDA-cleared to treat all ink colors on all skin types, including the notoriously difficult green, blue, purple, and red pigments.
Previously Treated Tattoos
Tattoos that have been partially treated with traditional Q-switched or Nd:YAG lasers but have stalled in progress. PicoSure’s different mechanism of action can break through the plateau and continue fading ink that other lasers left behind.
Dark Skin Types
Patients with darker skin tones (Fitzpatrick IV–VI) who were previously told tattoo removal was too risky. PicoSure’s pressure wave technology minimizes thermal damage, significantly reducing the risk of hyperpigmentation and scarring on all skin types.
Small & Large Tattoos
From small finger tattoos to full-sleeve and back pieces. Small tattoos can be treated in under 5 minutes per session. Larger tattoos may require longer sessions and injectable anesthesia for comfort. PicoSure treats any body area including face, neck, chest, back, arms, and legs.

Does It Hurt?
Your Comfort Options (We Tailor This to You)
Most patients describe PicoSure as feeling like a rubber band snapping against the skin — brief and very tolerable. Topical numbing cream is applied 20 minutes before treatment, and air cooling systems provide additional comfort during the session. For larger tattoos, injectable anesthesia is available for maximum comfort.
Dr. Avaliani prioritizes your comfort at every step. Small tattoos can be treated in under 5 minutes, while larger pieces take longer. After treatment, you may notice temporary whitening (frosting) of the skin and mild swelling, which resolves within hours. There is minimal downtime — avoid direct sun exposure on the treated area and follow simple aftercare instructions.
