advanced laser technology for tattoo and pigment removal
erase the past today
Over 45 million Americans have tattoos, and one in five seeks removal. Veritas offers advanced laser tattoo removal in Austin and Fredericksburg using cutting-edge PiQo4 technology for safe, effective treatment. Our state-of-the-art laser targets all ink colors and skin types, delivering faster results with minimal discomfort.
At Veritas Backstage, we use cutting-edge PiQo4 technology to safely remove tattoos and pigmentation across all skin tones. With four precise wavelengths (1064nm, 532nm, 650nm, and 585nm), we target the full spectrum of ink colors—from deep black to light orange—ensuring effective removal.
Semi-permanent makeup often fades within 1-3 sessions, sometimes instantly. Amateur tattoos, being shallower than professional ones, are generally easier to remove, though lighter inks may still pose a challenge. Older tattoos tend to lift more easily, making removal faster and more effective.
The advanced PiQo4 laser delivers powerful tattoo and pigment removal, safely targeting all common ink colors on all skin types.
HOW DOES IT WORK
The PiQo4 laser tattoo removal system combines picosecond and nanosecond pulses to break down ink particles for faster, more effective removal across various skin tones. Using ultra-fast picosecond pulses—trillionths of a second long—it shatters ink into microscopic fragments that the body can naturally clear.
Designed to target a broad spectrum of tattoo colors, including black, red, orange, and blue, PiQo4 offers advanced precision for comprehensive tattoo removal.
What to Expect
After treatment, you may experience temporary redness, itching, pinpoint bleeding, or slight darkening of the area, which typically fades within a couple of weeks. Most tattoos require 6-15 sessions for full removal, depending on their size and complexity.
Additional Information
PiQo4 can also target unwanted pigmentation and is safe for use on any area of the body.
Topical numbing cream is complimentary with your treatment. If you would like numbing cream we recommend arriving 30 mins-1 hr prior to your appointment to apply. Injectable lidocaine is an option for a small additional cost.
Q. What is PiQo4 Laser Technology?
A. PiQo4 laser technology effectively removes tattoos of all common colors, whether amateur or professional. This advanced technology targets both large and small tattoo particles, breaking them into tiny fragments that are naturally eliminated by your body. The laser precisely targets the ink without harming the surrounding skin.
Tattoo ink particles vary in size, and previous technologies could only break down either small or large particles, but not both. The versatility of the PiQo4 allows for precise treatment of varying particle sizes and tattoo colors.
Q. What is the Treatment Like?
A. Your practitioner will provide guidelines for before and aftercare, as well as the approximate duration of the laser removal session. During your session, you will hear the laser fire with loud, audible popping sounds, and feel heat over the treated area, which will feel similar to a sunburn.
Q. What skin types can be treated?
The Pico laser is designed to treat a wide range of skin tones and tattoo colors with precision. Its ultra-fast pulse duration minimizes discomfort and speeds up recovery, allowing for the removal of multi-colored tattoos in fewer sessions compared to traditional methods.
Q. When Will I See Results?
A. The number of treatments needed depends on the tattoo, the area of the body, and the background skin color. Consult your practitioner for the most accurate estimate of sessions for each tattoo.
The location of the tattoo matters: the closer it is to the heart, the better the circulation, and therefore, the better the results. More colorful tattoos and larger surface areas usually require more treatments. Amateur tattoos are typically not as deep as professional ones and are easier to remove.
A treatment series can range from 3 to 15 sessions, conducted 6-8 weeks apart.
Q. What Can I Expect After Treatment?
A. Immediately after treatment, you will see a whitish “frosting” over the tattoo. The skin will often swell in the tattoo area, accompanied by mild redness. The frosting, swelling, and redness will resolve within hours. The tattoo may crust or blister as the body repairs itself, which will resolve naturally. The tattoo will fade gradually in the following weeks as your body clears the ink.
Q. Why Choose PiQo4?
A. PiQo4 combines two cutting-edge technologies to clear more colors faster, resulting in better clearance, fewer sessions, and less ghosting than other systems. This includes stubborn turquoise and yellow hues, so you won’t have a shadow of your tattoo as a reminder. The speed and efficiency of the laser make this the fastest road to a tattoo-free you.
Q. Is it Right for Me?
A. PiQo4 laser tattoo removal treatments are not suitable for everyone and carry some risks. Individuals prone to skin keloids may be more susceptible to scarring after any skin trauma, including laser treatment. Persons with dark skin may be at increased risk of hypopigmentation. Both hypo- and hyper-pigmentation are common risks of treatment.
