PURE COSMETICS GERALDTON
PICOPro 3 Laser Tattoo Removal
The laser used for Tattoo Removal at Pure Cosmetics Geraldton is the advanced PICOpro 3. Specifically engineered for superior ink removal, the PICOpro 3 uses ultra-fast picosecond technology to shatter pigment into minute particles, allowing your body to clear them faster and more efficiently.
By delivering high-powered energy in fraction-of-a-second pulses rather than relying purely on heat, the PICOpro 3 effectively breaks down ink while protecting surrounding skin and significantly reducing the risk of scarring. While older, deeper, or multi-colored tattoos may require additional sessions to fully fade, picosecond technology generally achieves results in fewer total treatments than traditional lasers.
All tattoo removal journeys begin with an initial consultation and patch test to ensure suitability. During your consultation, we will evaluate your tattoo and discuss your ultimate goal—whether that is complete removal or fading the area in preparation for a cover-up. From there, we will create a tailored treatment plan detailing your expected number of sessions, timeline, and comprehensive pricing.

Laser Tattoo Removal at Pure Cosmetics Geraldton utilises the advanced PICOpro 3 laser to safely and efficiently break down unwanted tattoo ink. Delivering ultra-short picosecond pulses of light energy, the PICOpro 3 uses a photoacoustic effect to shatter pigment into tiny, dust-like particles while protecting the surrounding skin. Over a series of customised treatments, your body naturally processes and clears these fragmented particles, leading to faster fading, fewer sessions, and a clearer complexion.

Tattoo removal with the PICOpro 3 laser can cause some discomfort, but it is generally quick and well-tolerated. Most clients describe the sensation as a brief, warm snapping feeling—similar to a rubber band flicking against the skin.
Because the PICOpro 3 delivers ultra-short picosecond pulses rather than relying solely on heat, treatments are exceptionally fast, which helps keep discomfort to a minimum. Sensitivity varies depending on the tattoo’s location, size, and ink depth, but applying a topical numbing cream 1-2 hours beforehand can help keep you comfortable throughout the session.

While there is minimal true downtime—meaning you won't need to take time off work or hide away—the treated area will require a short period of localized healing.
Immediately After Treatment:
Frosting: A temporary white, frosty appearance usually shows up on the tattoo immediately after the laser passes over it. This is a normal reaction and fades within 20–30 minutes.
Redness & Swelling: The area will typically look and feel like a mild to moderate sunburn, often accompanied by slight swelling or pinpoint tenderness.
The Healing Process (Days 1–7):
Minor Blistering or Crusts: It is completely normal for tiny blisters or superficial pinpoint scabs to form over the first few days as the skin processes the shattered ink.
Resuming Daily Life: You can return to your regular routine right away, but you will need to keep the area clean, dry, and covered with an ointment (like Bepanthen or Stratacel) for a few days.
Activities to Pause: You'll need to avoid heavy sweating, hot showers, saunas, and swimming (pools/ocean) for roughly 48 hours, and keep the treated area strictly protected from direct sun exposure while it heals.

The exact number of sessions varies from person to person, but most clients require 4 to 8 treatments scheduled 6 to 8 weeks apart for optimal fading or complete removal.
Because the PICOpro 3 uses ultra-fast picosecond pulses, it shatters ink into much finer particles than traditional lasers—which often means fewer total sessions and faster results overall.
The exact number of treatments depends on several key factors:
Ink Colors: Black, dark blue, and red inks fade the fastest. Green, bright blue, and yellow inks are more stubborn and may take additional passes.
Ink Depth & Density: Professional tattoos use more ink placed deeper in the skin compared to amateur or stick-and-poke tattoos, requiring more sessions.
Tattoo Location: Areas with higher blood flow (like the chest, neck, or arms) clear shattered ink faster than peripheral areas like fingers, ankles, or feet.
Age of the Tattoo: Older tattoos generally fade quicker because the body has already spent years slowly breaking down the pigment.
Individual Metabolism: Your lymphatic system does the heavy lifting of carrying the ink particles away, so staying hydrated and maintaining good circulation aids the process.
