Say goodbye to old tattoos with PicoWay laser tattoo removal services in Miami from Arviv Medical Aesthetics. You might want to remove an old tattoo and restore your skin, clear away part of a tattoo to make adjustments to it, or replace an old tattoo with a new vision. At Arviv Medical Aesthetics, we offer state-of-the-art laser tattoo removal near you so you can conveniently remove old or unwanted tattoos with minimal skin irritation or lingering ink. Take a closer look at how PicoWay is quickly becoming the most popular way to remove tattoos.
Why Choose PicoWay Laser Tattoo Removal in Miami?
Laser tattoo removal in Miami is a popular choice for getting rid of old ink. Lasers break down the ink particles to help the body break down and remove the ink entirely. Today’s laser technologies outperform older methods like dermabrasion and chemical peels, and PicoWay lasers go even further to offer cleaner tattoo removal with less skin irritation and damage.
A PicoWay laser transmits pico-second bursts of light, targeting specific particles of ink in powerful bursts that are a trillionth of a second each. This process minimizes the laser’s interaction with your skin, ensuring most of the energy hits lingering sections of ink.
Advantages of PicoWay Tattoo Removal
Once you’ve decided to remove one of your tattoos, knowing which process to use can feel overwhelming. Consider these unique advantages of PicoWay laser tattoo removal services in Miami:
- Speed: The laser works virtually instantaneously to make your tattoo fade away. You can see a visual difference immediately after the first treatment, and each subsequent treatment also provides a visually striking fade. Just as importantly, the appointments themselves are fast. You can be in and out of the office with laser appointments as short as 20 minutes, making it easier than ever to go about your day.
- Easier recovery: At Arviv, our team of tattoo removal specialists is trained in using PicoWay lasers for optimal comfort and results. The laser primarily targets the ink, not your skin. This minimizes burning, redness, and irritation that make the removal process unpleasant or alter the texture of your skin. Enjoy fast recovery after every appointment, even during balmy summer days.
- Inclusivity: PicoWay lasers are ideal for virtually all skin types and tones. You can target specific colors of ink, get tattoo removal or scarred or stretched skin, and remove tattoos from any skin pigmentation with reduced afterimages. PicoWay lasers are even used to treat skin lesions or skin irregularities, so targeted treatments can even improve your skin’s appearance.

LASER TATTOO REMOVAL INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE YOUR TATTOO REMOVAL
We cannot treat suntanned or self-tanner/spray-tanned skin due to increased complications. You must wait 2 to 3 weeks until tan coloring fades.
Pre-Treatment Instructions
- Keep treated area out of the sun for at least 2 weeks prior to treatment. A minimum SPF30 or greater (UVA/UVB) should be used for any sun exposure during your treatments prior to going outside. Sunblock is preferred to sunscreen. KEEP IT COVERED if in the sun.
- Shave area the day prior to or on the day of the treatment (if applicable).
- To minimize any discomfort, we recommend that you take Tylenol a couple of hours prior to the procedure.
- Pain medications such as Motrin, Aspirin and Alieve thin blood and promote bruising and, therefore, should be avoided 3 to 7 days before treatment.
- No Accutane, Retin-A, Retinols, AHA’s or other topical acid products on the skin.
- Do not consume caffeine or any other stimulating substances the day of treatment.
- Do not have your laser tattoo removal treatment done under the influence of alcohol or drugs. This can cause thinning of the blood, which can lead to increased bleeding and other more serious problems.
- Notify us of any medical changes.
- Treatment can be scheduled 4-6 weeks apart.
LASER TATTOO REMOVAL RECOVERY
The tattoo removal laser treatment may create a superficial burn wound. There is immediate whitening of the treated area, which usually lasts for several minutes. Then the tattoo will be slightly swollen and look normal in 24 hours. The ink will start to fade in 3-4 weeks. Healing is usually complete within 4 weeks, although this may vary.
Post-Treatment Instructions
- Keep the treated area clean and dry while it is healing. Clean the area gently with soap and water and then pat the area dry. You may apply a thin coating of ointment up to three times a day for 3 days while the area is healing and you should keep the area moist with aquaphor for 48 hours.
- Blistering is may occur and is likely to occur within 8 hours after your treatment. Do not be alarmed as blisters heal very well and are part of the normal healing process. Blisters indicate your body’s immune system is healing the area and beginning to remove the ink from your tattoo. It is natural for blisters to pop, and please continue to cover with a sterile bandage until blisters have healed. Continue to put antibiotic ointment over the blisters once they have popped for at least 24 hours. Avoid pool, hot tub, beack or public water until healed to reduce risk of infections.
- You may apply cool compresses as necessary for 24 hours after the laser treatment to help reduce discomfort and inflammation.
- Do not pick at the scabs, as this may result in infection and scarring. Shaving should be avoided in the treated area until it is completely healed.
- Feel free to shower 2 hours after the treatment, but take care to avoid high pressure water hitting the treated area. Baths, hot tubs, swimming pool, or any form of soaking are not recommended until all blistering and scabbing are completely healed as they may increase the risk of infection.
- Exercise is generally safe after treatment taking into account the other aftercare instructions provided herein.
- Wear a sunblock with an SPF of 30 or higher over the area for duration of 2-3 weeks after the treatment and continuously until you complete all treatments. Do not wear makeup or any cream or medication on or near the treated area unless recommended by our office for 24 hours.
- Itching is very common due to the dehydrating effect of the laser treatment. Use Aquaphor, Vitamin E ointment, or hydrocortisone cream to the treatment area.
- If the area looks infected (honey colored crusting, pus, and oozing or spreading redness), if you experience an unusual discomfort or bleeding, if any other complications develop, or if you have any questions or concerns, contact the office immediately.
- Of course, if you have any extreme reaction, call 911 and to the emergency department.
If Problems Occur After Laser Tattoo Removal, Take the Following Measures:
- Inform a representative at our office immediately after a reaction has occurred or within 24 hours of any side effects such as burns, infection, bleeding, allergic reaction, blisters, scabbing, crusting, skin color and/or textural changes. If immediate care is needed, a physician will evaluate the patient and necessary treatment will be provided. If you do not contact the office within 24 hours you will be held liable for any permanent skin changes that may occur. You should wait 12 months before determining that a skin condition is permanent.
- Fill out a form with the physician describing in full detail what type of symptoms or side effects are present. This will be done in ALL cases that have any type of symptoms or side effects.
- All treatments will stop until all issues are resolved and the patient will be reassessed before further treatments will be provided.
- If it is decided by the physician that the client cannot continue treatments, a refund will be provided. If this should occur, the client MUST explain the reasons why he/she does not want to continue their treatments and MUST complete the required form to file a complaint. Each case will be evaluated and addressed individually.
- If I choose to or need to go to another physician for medical treatment rather than Dr. Arviv, I hereby consent to releasing the medical records from that physician/facility to Dr. Arviv, along with photos of my problem.
