Non-Laser Tattoo Removal

Remove Unwanted Tattoos. Safely. Gently. Effectively.

At Picosa Ink Beauty Bar, we offer Northern Colorado's most advanced non-laser tattoo removal method. Our magnetic tattoo removal technique lifts ink from your skin without painful lasers, harsh chemicals, or scarring. Whether you regret an old tattoo, want to prepare for a cover-up, or need to remove a mistake, we can help. This gentle process works on all ink colors and all skin types.

We believe removing a tattoo should be safe and comfortable. That's why we use a revolutionary magnetic extraction method instead of burning your skin with lasers.

Ready to start your tattoo removal journey? Here's how our process works:

  1. Book your free consultation: We'll look at your tattoo and talk about your goals. We'll explain exactly how the process works and answer all your questions.
  2. Get a custom removal plan: Every tattoo is different. We'll tell you how many sessions you'll need and how long the process will take. Most tattoos need 3 to 8 sessions.
  3. Start your first session: We use special magnetic needles that glide over your skin without going deep into it. A safe removal solution draws the ink up to the surface.
  4. The ink lifts naturally: Over the next few weeks, your body pushes the ink out as a scab forms and falls off. This is totally natural healing.
  5. Come back for follow-up sessions: Each session removes more ink. You'll see your tattoo fading after every treatment.
  6. Enjoy clear skin: When you're done, your skin will be smooth and clear. No burns. No scars. No damaged skin.

Magnetic tattoo removal is different from laser removal. It's gentler on your skin and works on colors that lasers can't touch.

That's why people travel from all over Northern Colorado to see us. Laser removal burns your skin to break up the ink. Our magnetic method lifts the ink out without heat or burning. This means less pain, faster healing, and no permanent skin damage. Your body deserves the safest removal option.

How Magnetic Tattoo Removal Works

Our magnetic tattoo removal uses advanced technology to extract ink from your skin safely. Here's what makes it so effective:

  • Magnetic needles glide over your skin: Special magnetic cartridges work on the surface of your skin. They don't penetrate deep like regular tattoo needles or piercing needles.
  • Safe removal solution lifts the ink: We apply a non-toxic solution with a pH of 8.5. This solution is made from food-grade and cosmetic ingredients. It's completely safe and causes no damage.
  • Magnetic force pulls ink to the surface: The magnetic field interacts with the metal particles in tattoo ink. This breaks down the ink and draws it up toward your skin's surface.
  • Your body naturally removes the ink: Over the next few weeks, the ink forms a scab and falls off naturally. Your immune system helps clear out any remaining particles.
  • No heat or burning: Unlike lasers that burn your skin at high temperatures, our method uses no heat. This means less pain and no burn damage to your skin.

This process is gentle, safe, and proven to work. The magnetic method has been used successfully around the world for over 20 years.

Why Magnetic Removal Is Better Than Laser

Laser tattoo removal is the most common method, but it has serious problems. Here's why our magnetic method is safer and more effective:

  • 95% less pain: Most clients say magnetic removal feels like a gentle scratching or tingling. Laser removal feels like hot rubber bands snapping against your skin over and over.
  • Works on all ink colors: Lasers struggle with bright colors like red, yellow, green, and white. Our magnetic method removes all colors equally well.
  • Safe for all skin types: Lasers can burn darker skin and cause permanent light or dark spots. Magnetic removal works safely on every skin tone.
  • No scarring: Laser removal often leaves scars, texture changes, or permanent skin damage. Magnetic removal leaves your skin smooth and undamaged.
  • Fewer sessions needed: Laser removal takes 8 to 15 sessions (or more). Magnetic removal usually takes 3 to 8 sessions. That means less time and less money.
  • Faster healing: Laser burns take weeks to heal. Magnetic removal heals much faster with minimal downtime.
  • No risk of hair loss: Lasers can permanently destroy hair follicles. Magnetic removal won't cause any hair loss.
  • Better for sensitive areas: Safe for face, neck, hands, and other delicate areas where lasers are risky.

The numbers speak for themselves. Magnetic removal is gentler, safer, and faster than laser removal.

Many of our clients tried laser removal first and hated it. They came to us looking for a better way. After switching to magnetic removal, they wish they had started with us from the beginning. Don't waste time and money on painful laser sessions when there's a better option available.

What Types of Tattoos Can We Remove?

Our magnetic removal method works on almost any tattoo. Here are the types we can help with:

  • Professional tattoos: Tattoos done by professional artists with professional equipment. These usually have deep ink and may need more sessions.
  • Amateur or homemade tattoos: Stick-and-poke tattoos or tattoos done at home. These are often easier to remove because the ink isn't as deep.
  • Old faded tattoos: Older tattoos that have already started to fade. These remove faster because there's less ink to extract.
  • Bright colored tattoos: Red, yellow, green, blue, purple, orange tattoos that lasers can't remove. Our method works on all colors.
  • Black and gray tattoos: Traditional black ink tattoos respond very well to magnetic removal.
  • Small to medium tattoos: We can remove tattoos of most sizes. Very large tattoos (like full sleeves or back pieces) may take longer.
  • Tattoos you want to cover up: Partial removal to lighten a tattoo before getting a new design over it.
  • Permanent makeup and microblading: We can remove unwanted eyebrow tattoos, eyeliner, and lip tattoos safely.

What to Expect During Your Removal

Here's what happens during a typical magnetic tattoo removal session:

  • We clean and prep your skin: Your skin is thoroughly cleaned to remove any oils or dirt. This helps the solution work better.
  • We apply the removal solution: A safe, non-toxic solution is applied to the tattoo area. This prepares the ink for extraction.
  • Magnetic treatment begins: We use the magnetic cartridge to work over the tattooed area. You'll feel a gentle scratching sensation. Most people find this very tolerable.
  • The process takes 30 to 60 minutes: Session length depends on the size and location of your tattoo.
  • We bandage the area: After treatment, we apply a clean bandage to protect your skin while it heals.
  • You go home the same day: There's no downtime. You can return to normal activities right away with a few care instructions.

Most clients are surprised at how comfortable the process is. The anticipation is usually worse than the actual treatment.

After your session, the treated area will form a scab over the next few days. This is normal and means the process is working. The scab will fall off naturally within 1 to 3 weeks. You'll see the ink lifting away with the scab. Your skin heals, and you're ready for the next session in 6 to 8 weeks.

Aftercare and Healing

Taking care of your skin after treatment is important. Here's what you need to do:

  • Keep the area clean and dry: Gently wash with mild soap and water. Pat dry with a clean towel.
  • Don't pick at the scab: Let it fall off naturally. Picking can cause scarring.
  • Avoid sun exposure: Keep the area covered or use sunscreen. Sun can slow healing and cause discoloration.
  • Don't soak the area: Avoid swimming pools, hot tubs, baths, and lakes until fully healed. Showers are fine.
  • Moisturize gently: After the scab falls off, you can use a gentle, fragrance-free lotion.
  • Wait before your next session: Give your skin 6 to 8 weeks to heal completely between treatments.

We'll give you detailed aftercare instructions after your session. Follow them carefully for the best results. If you have any questions or concerns during healing, call us anytime.
