Picosecond Laser in Raleigh

1 clinic · ranked by rating & reviews · updated 2026

Picosecond lasers (PicoSure, PicoWay and similar platforms) are the newer generation of tattoo removal equipment, delivering pulses measured in picoseconds rather than the nanoseconds of standard Q-switched lasers. Clinics that run pico machines position them as their premium option and price them accordingly - expect roughly 20-40% more per session than standard Q-switched treatment at the same clinic. Not every clinic has one, so if you specifically want pico, filter for it before booking consultations. As with any removal method, session counts and outcomes differ from person to person - compare package quotes at the same tattoo size and confirm the all-in package price at a consultation.

Which technology suits your tattoo is a case-by-case question - ask the clinic which platforms they run and discuss expectations at a consultation with a licensed provider. Results vary.
Do all clinics offer picosecond lasers? +
No - pico machines are a significant equipment investment, so availability varies by market. Some clinics run both pico and Q-switched platforms and quote you on either. Check the services list on a clinic's profile, then confirm the exact device and package pricing at a consultation.
