Not much with PicoSure. Since PicoSure doesn’t use only heat to zap away unwanted ink, you shouldn’t feel much pain. Some patients report feeling short snaps with the laser bursts, almost like you’re being snapped with a rubber band. Depending on the area of tattoo removal, you may or may not be a little sensitive to this sensation. This is nothing to worry about though. 

It depends, but Dr. Griessel goes over the likely outcome during a consultation exam. While PicoSure is designed to work on all skin tones, as well as all colors of ink, these considerations impact how many session you should expect. Overall, PicoSure patients typically require fewer visits than those who use alternative tattoo removal systems.
