Wayland, MA (PRWEB) December 01, 2015
It’s official: Tattoo taboo is a thing of the past. One in five American adults has a tattoo — a number even greater among Millennials (a whopping one in three aged 18 to 25 is inked). As tattoos transition to mainstream America, there are more and more people who are dissatisfied with their ink. In fact, RealSelf, the world’s largest community for learning and sharing information about elective cosmetic procedures, reveals that interest in tattoo removal has risen 30 percent in the past six months alone.
Syneron Candela, a leader in the medical aesthetic device marketplace and creator of the game-changing PicoWay picosecond laser, has partnered with RealSelf to dispel preconceptions about the notoriously painful and lengthy process. The mission is to give consumers who have unwanted ink accurate information and newfound hope for removal.
What are the top reasons to #RETHINKYOURINK? A recent Syneron Candela survey revealed:
-Related to an ex-partner (64 percent)
-Done as a joke or when drunk (50 percent)
-Faded or blurred appearance (29 percent)
-Badly done (27 percent)
-Don’t like it anymore (27 percent)
Thanks to PicoWay, consumers don’t have to be saddled with unwanted ink. Unlike traditional nanosecond (one billionth of a second) lasers, picosecond (one trillionth of a second) technology harnesses different wavelengths. The dualwave laser delivers ultra-short pulses of energy to create a photo-mechanical impact, which breaks the ink or pigmentation into tinier, more easily eliminated particles.
“For decades there were only two ways to get ride of tattoos: cut it out or laser it off in a process than generally took around two years,” states Chad M. Hivnor, MD, of Dermatology Associates of San Antonio. “Picosecond technology is changing the way we remove unwanted ink, making it more accessible and more effective for patients of all skin tones.”
“Picosecond lasers like PicoWay use an ultra-short blast of energy that’s more powerful than traditional nanosecond lasers,” Dr. Hivnor explains. “Faster pulses break ink into smaller participles for better and more complete resolution. It also cuts treatment times in half.”
Unlike previous lasers, PicoWay delivers results in three or four treatments, far faster than the typical 12 sessions with other lasers. The pulses are 40 percent shorter than average, limiting the healthy tissue's exposure to thermal build-up for a safe, fast, and effective treatment. PicoWay also works on all skin tones and targets a wide range of stubborn, hard-to-clear ink colors.

After experiencing tattoo removal firsthand, 89 percent of people say it’s worth it, that getting rid of their bad ink changed their lives for the better.
