Say Goodbye to Your Old Tattoo with the Lutronic PicoPlus Laser

Are you ready to remove your old tattoo? Has it faded, do you regret the design, or have previous laser treatments failed to deliver results? Then you've come to the right place. At KeraLase Klinik, we proudly offer the most advanced laser technology in Malmö and Jönköping for tattoo removal: Lutronic PicoPlus.

What’s the Difference Between Q-Terra Q-Switch and Lutronic PicoPlus?

  • How does Q-Terra Q-Switch work?

    Q-Terra Q-Switch uses traditional Q-Switch technology with nanosecond pulses (10⁻⁹ s) that generate a photothermal effect—heating up the pigment until it bursts.

    • ➡️ Works well on dark ink (black, navy blue)

    • ➡️ Less effective on colored tattoos

    • ➡️ Higher risk of irritation and hyperpigmentation for darker skin types (Fitzpatrick IV–VI)

  • How does Lutronic PicoPlus work?

    Lutronic PicoPlus delivers ultra-short picosecond pulses (10⁻¹² s) with a photomechanical effect—breaking up pigment using pressure waves instead of heat.

    • ➡️ High precision, effective even on light colors

    • ➡️ Safe for darker skin tones and complex tattoos

    • ➡️ Less discomfort, faster healing

  • What Do the Experts Say?

    “Studies show picosecond lasers can remove pigment up to 30% faster than Q-Switch—without increasing the risk of complications.”
    — Dr. Eric Bernstein, Dermatologist and Laser Expert

Will it remove the tattoo completely and all colors?

How does the treatment feel? Is tattoo removal painful?

The sensation varies, but most describe it as a light stinging or slight burning feeling. We offer numbing cream for those who prefer it. If you wish to use numbing cream, please let us know in advance as it must be applied 60-90 minutes before the treatment.

How long does the treatment take? How many treatments are needed and how often? What is the recovery time?

The duration of tattoo removal with Lutronic PicoPlus varies depending on the size and location of the tattoo. A typical session for a small tattoo, such as a tribal on the arm, takes about 5 minutes, while a larger tattoo, like a full sleeve, takes about 30 minutes. If you wish to use numbing cream, please let us know in advance as it must be applied 60-90 minutes before the treatment. The number of treatments needed for tattoo removal with Lutronic PicoPlus varies depending on the size, color, age, and depth of the tattoo. Generally, 6-10 sessions are needed for optimal results. Treatments are performed approximately six weeks apart to allow the lymphatic system to remove the pigments and to give the skin time to heal between sessions. The treatment duration and the total number of sessions will be discussed during your free consultation, where we will evaluate your tattoo and create a personalized treatment plan. Recovery time after tattoo removal with Lutronic PicoPlus is typically 3-7 days. You may experience redness and swelling immediately after the treatment, which resembles a mild sunburn. These symptoms usually disappear within a few days. It is important to follow the aftercare instructions provided by your practitioner to ensure optimal healing and results.

How does tattoo removal work?

We use the latest Lutronic PicoPlus laser technology to break down the ink particles in your tattoo, allowing your body to naturally remove them over time via the lymphatic system.

Lutronic PicoPlus is the only laser on the market that can deliver the necessary energy to break down all pigment particles regardless of color, without leaving behind a shadow of color as other lasers do, no matter how many treatments are performed. This is because Lutronic PicoPlus has the shortest pulse duration on the market and the highest energy delivery with this pulse duration.

Afterwards, we review aftercare instructions and schedule your next treatment, usually about 6 weeks later.

  3. Follow-Up Treatments: At each follow-up treatment, we assess how your tattoo responds to the treatment. Depending on size, color, and skin type, the number of treatments may vary. We continue the treatment until your tattoo is completely gone. If you have chosen our price guarantee, unlimited treatments are included until the tattoo is gone.

  4. Finished!  When your tattoo is completely gone, we follow up with a review of the results and give you tips on how to continue taking care of your skin in the best way.

Is it safe to undergo the treatment in summer? Do I need to protect my skin from the sun?

The treatments are very gentle on the skin and have minimal recovery time, making them suitable for year-round use. Aftercare and sun protection, preferably with clothing or SPF 100 sunscreen, are crucial for the best results. Your practitioner will provide detailed aftercare instructions based on your specific treatment.

Are the treatments safe? Are there risks and side effects? Is there a risk of scarring?

Rest assured, Lutronic PicoPlus is a gentle laser that does not cause scarring, unlike other lasers and surgical tattoo removal. The skin may become slightly red and irritated after the treatment, but this subsides within a few days. We provide advice on how to care for your skin for optimal healing. Lutronic PicoPlus is approved as a medical laser according to EU MDR (The European Union Medical Device Regulation - EU 2017/745), as well as the US FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration).

Are your treatments suitable for all skin types?

Yes, our advanced laser technology is designed to be safe and effective for all skin types.

What do the treatments cost? Do you offer discounts, package prices, or installment payments?

The cost of tattoo removal depends on the number and length of treatments, influenced by the tattoo’s size, color, age, and depth. During your free consultation, we will discuss these factors and create a personalized treatment plan for you. We offer a unique "Fixed Total Price with Unlimited Treatments", meaning you pay a fixed price regardless of the number of treatments needed, providing predictability and up to 75% savings compared to paying per session. You can also opt to pay per treatment. We offer interest-free installment plans for up to 24 months through Svea Ekonomi (requires Swedish personal number).

Want to cover up an old tattoo?

No problem! The PicoPlus treatment is excellent for fading an old tattoo before getting a new one. During the consultation, we will discuss how many treatments might be needed to prepare your skin for the new tattoo.

Is your tattoo new?

We recommend waiting until the tattoo has fully healed, which can take from 6 weeks to a few months. This is because the colors in a new tattoo have not yet stabilized, which may require more treatments. During the consultation, we can give you a more precise recommendation based on the age of your tattoo and other factors.

How do I take care of the skin after the treatment?

The recovery time after tattoo removal with Lutronic PicoPlus is usually 3-7 days. You may experience redness and swelling immediately after treatment, similar to a mild sunburn. These symptoms disappear within a few days. For the best possible results, it is important to protect the skin from the sun, preferably with clothing or fabric, and if that is not possible, with sunscreen SPF 100. Avoid scratching or rubbing the area to prevent irritation. It is important to follow the aftercare instructions provided by your therapist to ensure optimal healing and results.

Typically, you may notice results after the first session. Darker tattoos may require multiple sessions before a noticeable difference is seen.

Lutronic PicoPlus effectively breaks down all pigment particles without leaving color shadows or causing permanent scarring, unlike other lasers.
