What to Expect from your Tattoo Removal Session?

When you come in for tattoo removal in Winston-Salem, here’s what you can expect during each session:

  • Protective Eyewear: You’ll wear specialized protective glasses to shield your eyes from the laser.
  • Skin Assessment: Our experts will assess how your skin reacts to the laser to determine the optimal energy level for safe and effective treatment.
  • Laser Treatment: The laser will deliver pulses of intense light through the outer layer of your skin, targeting the tattoo ink beneath.
  • Managing Discomfort: Laser tattoo removal can be uncomfortable, but we offer DESCRIBE PFD Patch and Lidocaine to help minimize any discomfort during the procedure.
  • Temporary Frosting Effect: Your tattoo may temporarily appear white or “frosted” during the session—this is a normal reaction and fades quickly.
  • Aftercare Instructions: Post-treatment care is essential. Our specialist will provide detailed instructions to help your skin heal and reduce the risk of complications.
  • Gradual Fading: Your tattoo will lighten over time as your body naturally removes the fragmented ink particles.
  • Multiple Sessions Required: Complete removal typically takes multiple sessions, spaced several weeks apart, for the best results. During your consultation, we’ll discuss your treatment plan and ways to optimize the process.

Step 1

Consultation

At Camel City Injector, we specialize in tattoo removal in Winston-Salem using the advanced PicoWay laser. During your consultation, our experienced team will evaluate your tattoo, discuss your skin type, and explain the laser removal process in detail. We’ll provide a customized treatment plan, including the estimated number of sessions needed to achieve your goals. Whether it’s complete removal or fading for a cover-up. With our expertise and state-of-the-art technology, we make the journey to clear skin safe, effective, and hassle-free.

Step 2

Treatment

Before starting, we can apply a topical numbing cream or use lidocaine injections to ensure the area is as comfortable as possible. For added relaxation, we also offer Nitronox™, a safe and fast-acting laughing gas that helps ease any anxiety or discomfort. To enhance the experience further, we use a PFD (perfluorodecalin) patch, which minimizes heat sensation and reduces skin irritation during treatment while speeding up the process by allowing more laser passes in a single session. With these advanced options, we prioritize your comfort every step of the way as you move closer to achieving your clear-skin goals.

Step 3

Post Treatment

After your tattoo removal treatment, you can expect some redness, swelling, and tenderness in the treated area, similar to a mild sunburn. These effects are normal and typically subside within a few days. Blistering or scabbing may occur as part of the natural healing process, be sure to avoid picking or scratching to prevent scarring. Keep the area clean and dry, and apply any recommended ointments to support healing. Avoid sun exposure and protect the area with a high-SPF sunscreen once it has healed. Following our aftercare instructions will help ensure optimal results and a smooth recovery.

How Does Tattoo Removal Work?

Tattoo removal in Winston-Salem is made safe and effective with our state-of-the-art PicoWay laser technology. This advanced laser uses ultra-short picosecond pulses to target the ink particles in your tattoo without harming the surrounding skin. The energy shatters the ink into tiny fragments, which are then naturally eliminated by your body’s immune system over time. Designed to work on a wide range of colors and skin types, the PicoWay laser ensures faster results with minimal discomfort, making it the ideal solution for achieving clear skin.

Thinking about tattoo removal in Winston-Salem?​​

Here are five key factors that affect how quickly and effectively your tattoo fades:

  • Lifestyle Choices: Staying hydrated, avoiding alcohol, and minimizing sun exposure can speed up the fading process by helping your body flush out ink more efficiently.
  • Skin Type: Melanin levels and how your skin reacts to laser treatment influence the number of sessions needed for optimal results.
  • Tattoo Age: Older tattoos are easier to remove since the ink has already begun to break down naturally over time.
  • Placement Matters: Tattoos on areas with better circulation—like the chest, neck, or back—fade faster than those on hands, feet, or ankles.
  • Ink Colors: Black ink is the easiest to remove, while bright colors like blues, greens, and reds typically require more sessions.

FAQ’s

How does picosecond technology work?
PicoWay, uses ultra-fast picosecond laser pulses to break down tattoo ink into tiny particles. These particles are then naturally cleared away by your body’s immune system, gradually fading the tattoo over multiple sessions.
What to expect?
The laser tattoo removal itself may not be uncomfortable but discomfort is a normal response during treatment and recovery. The targeted areas will feel tender and sensitive to touch due to swelling and blistering thereafter. Once these effects subside over the next few days, so does the pain. Immediately after treatment, you will notice frosting on the area where the laser came in contact with the ink. It is caused by the rapid local heating of skin pigment releasing carbon dioxide on the surface of the skin which resembles white frosting. This signals the first stage of healing and it lasts for only a few minutes. More frosting occurs with dark ink compared to lighter ink. This is accompanied by swelling around the treated area. Redness, tenderness and swelling usually subside a day or two after treatment. Blisters start forming within 24 hours after treatment and they may appear alarming, but these indicate that your body is healing as it should. Avoid picking on your blisters because they will drain on their own and dry into scabs. The crust will eventually fall off within 10-14 days after treatment granted that the area doesn’t get irritated. One may even return to your usual activities shortly after treatment. The area will be bandaged to keep it dry for a few days following the treatment.
How does it feel?
Laser tattoo removal typically does involve some level of pain. That said, many say that it hurts less than they expected. It’s a common belief that tattoo removal is excruciating, yet most patients say that the sensation of removal is comparable to having a tattoo applied. Common descriptions include the sensation of a rubber band snapping against the skin or bacon grease – basically it’s uncomfortable but bearable.
Pre-treatment?
Avoid sun exposure / tanning beds for 2 weeks pre and post. Avoid pain medicine, such as Aleve, Aspirin for 3-7 days. Topical numbing cream or local anesthetic (lidocaine) may used and cold compress may be applied a prior to treatment.
Post-treatment?

Keep out of the sun, out of pools/lakes/bath water until healed. Apply recovery balm and keep it covered for 5-6 days while healing. Apply ice 10 minutes post treatment. Basic reminders:

  • Use sunscreen to protect the treated skin which is particularly sensitive to sunlight following treatment.

  • Don’t apply makeup or any potentially irritating product on treated skin while it heals.

  • Avoid shaving treated areas unless the skin is healed.

  • Don’t soak in baths, hot tubs or pools unless the skin has healed completely.


Is PicoWay tattoo removal safe for all skin types?

Yes! PicoWay’s advanced technology makes it safe for a variety of skin tones, minimizing the risk of scarring or pigmentation changes. We can safely remove black ink on Fitzpatrick Scale, skin type 1-6.


*We do not remove certain color tattoos on specific skin types due to the potential risk of burns, scarring, and pigment changes (hypo/hyperpigmentation)

Will my tattoo be completely gone?
PicoWay offers some of the most complete tattoo removal results available. While most tattoos fade significantly or disappear entirely, individual results vary. Certain ink colors and skin types may require more treatments.
What is the Describe PFD Patch?
The Describe PFD patch is an innovative skin barrier used during tattoo removal treatments to enhance the laser’s effectiveness. It is a perfluorodecalin (PFD)-infused transparent patch that allows for multiple laser passes in a single session, improving ink clearance while minimizing skin damage.
What are the benefits of using a PFD patch for tattoo removal?

Faster Ink Clearance – The patch allows the laser to make multiple passes in one session, breaking down ink more efficiently.

Less Skin Trauma – It helps reduce heat buildup, lowering the risk of burns, scarring, and pigmentation changes.

Reduced Pain & Discomfort – By scattering heat more evenly, the patch makes treatments more comfortable.

Shorter Recovery Time – Since the skin experiences less trauma, healing is often faster with less post-treatment irritation.

What color tattoo ink can be treated with PicoWay?

Black & Dark Ink – The easiest to remove and typically requires fewer sessions.
Blue & Green – Older lasers often leave these colors behind, but PicoWay effectively breaks them down.
Red, Orange & Yellow – Warmer tones can be stubborn, but PicoWay’s ultra-short pulses target them effectively.

Purple & Pastels – These lighter colors can be treated with specialized wavelengths.

*full color tattoos require more session

When will I see results? How long do they last?
The sessions are spaced eight weeks apart, which allows your skin to process the treatment. Many people start to see their ink fade slightly after each subsequent session and greater improvement after three appointments. Given eight to twelve weeks between each session, you can expect the results to start showing a few months after the process starts.
How many treatments will I need?
Recommended 6-10 treatments.
How much can a procedure cost?
In general, it costs about ten times as much to get a tattoo removed as it costs to have it applied. We have a detailed tattoo pricing guide by size and package!
