Laser Tattoo Removal (Discovery Pico)

Aesthetic Laser Center of Seattle uses the Cartessa Discovery Pico for all tattoo removal services — one of the most capable picosecond platforms available for this indication.

Conventional Q-switched nanosecond lasers break ink particles into fragments that the immune system must slowly clear. The Discovery Pico delivers pulses in picoseconds (one trillionth of a second), generating photoacoustic shockwaves that shatter ink into dramatically smaller dust-like particles. These clear faster, meaning fewer total sessions for most patients and more complete clearance on stubborn pigments including blues, greens, and purples that…

The Discovery Pico operates at three wavelengths — 1064 nm, 532 nm, and 694 nm — covering the full colour wheel from black and dark blue through red, orange, yellow, and the difficult green-blue spectrum. This makes it suitable for both amateur and professional-grade tattoos regardless of ink diversity.
