In brief
- In autumn and winter the skin is less exposed to the sun, which is said to be more favourable for laser tattoo removal.
- The PicoPlus laser breaks the tattoo pigments down into smaller particles with ultra-short picosecond pulses.
- The cost depends on the size, colour and depth of the tattoo and is clarified in a consultation.
- After treatment, the skin should be protected from direct sun for two to three months; an SPF of at least 20 is recommended.
The nights are getting longer and the sunny days fewer. Ideal conditions for tattoo removal in Vienna. Autumn and winter in particular are a sensible time to take on this project, as laser treatment becomes more efficient and lower-risk. Thanks to advanced technologies such as the PicoPlus™ laser at Dermacare, tattoos can be removed in less time and with fewer side effects.
But why do autumn and winter offer such favourable conditions?
Why is tattoo removal better in winter?
A decisive advantage of tattoo removal in the cooler season is that the skin is less exposed to the sun. Sun exposure can affect the treatment result and encourage unwanted side effects such as pigmentation disorders. Tanned skin absorbs laser energy differently, which reduces the laser's effectiveness.
Especially with professional methods such as the PicoPlus™ laser, which works with ultra-short picosecond pulses, optimal conditions should prevail so that the laser can shatter the pigments precisely. The winter months, when the skin is paler and exposed to less sunlight, provide the best conditions for having your tattoo lasered away.
PicoPlus™ by Lutronic: the world's best laser for tattoo removal
At Dermacare Vienna, the PicoPlus™ laser is used for tattoo removal. The PicoPlus™ by Lutronic is the world's leading laser for tattoo removal. The well-known effectiveness of this technology alone draws many patients to Dermacare. The PicoPlus™ works with ultra-short picosecond pulses, which break the tattoo pigments down into even smaller particles, so that the body can remove them faster and more gently. The smaller the pigments, the faster they are broken down. As a result, fewer sessions are required, and fewer side effects or skin irritations occur.
Having a tattoo lasered: costs and factors
The cost of tattoo removal depends on several factors, including the size, colour and depth of the tattoo. With professional laser devices such as the PicoPlus™, the number of sessions can often be reduced, which also affects the total cost. If you would like to have a tattoo lasered away in Vienna, consultation and a precise assessment of your individual situation are important. In a consultation at Dermacare, we clarify all the relevant details with you right at the start, such as the cost of laser tattoo removal and the expected duration of treatment.
Protection and aftercare: what to look out for
After tattoo removal, the skin is particularly sensitive to UV radiation. Ideally, it should be protected from direct sun exposure for two to three months, which is easier to achieve in autumn and winter with thick clothing. Nevertheless, sun protection is important, even in winter. An SPF of at least 20 is recommended to protect the skin from potential UV damage.
Start now in autumn and winter
If you want to have a tattoo removed, you can make the best use of winter to prepare your skin for treatment and so achieve a flawless result by summer. The ideal time for treatment is therefore the cooler season, when the skin is less exposed to the sun and regeneration can take place undisturbed.
