If you’ve researched tattoo removal, you already know the technology matters more than anything else, and Skincredible is the only clinic in Wichita with the Picofy picosecond laser. Picofy delivers ultra-short pulses that shatter tattoo ink into far smaller fragments than the Q-switched lasers still used at most removal clinics, which means better clearance per session, fewer total sessions, and less damage to the surrounding skin. Whether you want complete removal, fading for a cover-up, or lightening of a specific area, we build a physician-supervised plan around your tattoo, and explain every step of it to you beforehand.
You may be a good candidate for Tattoo Removal if…
- You want a tattoo gone, or faded for a cover-up
- Another clinic’s laser stopped making progress
- Your tattoo has blue, green, or bright colors
- You want one name or one part of a piece removed
- You can come back every 6–8 weeks
Sound like you? Your first consultation is free — we’ll talk through your goals together and map out a plan that fits them.
The only Picofy tattoo removal in Wichita
Most tattoo removal still runs on nanosecond Q-switched lasers: reliable 2010s technology, but slower and harsher than what’s now possible. Skincredible is the only provider in the Wichita area offering Picofy picosecond removal (the same platform honored with the 2026 ELLE Tools & Treatments Award), and clients come to us from across the metro because fewer, more effective sessions easily justify the trip. If a previous clinic plateaued on your tattoo, picosecond technology is usually the answer.

How laser tattoo removal works
Tattoo ink sits in the dermis, where the particles are too large for your immune system to clear. That’s why tattoos are permanent. Laser pulses fragment that ink into particles small enough for your lymphatic system to carry away over the weeks between sessions. The shorter the pulse, the smaller the fragments: Picofy’s picosecond pulses shatter ink into a fine “dust” that clears dramatically better than the coarse fragments left by older lasers.
Why picosecond beats Q-switched
Three reasons. Clearance: smaller fragments mean visibly more fading per session. Many tattoos need several fewer sessions overall. Color range: stubborn blues, greens, and vivid modern inks that Q-switched lasers struggle with respond far better to picosecond energy. Skin safety: because the effect is photoacoustic rather than heat-driven, there’s less thermal damage to surrounding skin, which means lower scarring risk and safer treatment across skin tones.
Removal, fading, or cover-up prep
Not every plan aims for total removal. Fading a tattoo by a few shades can open up dramatically better cover-up options for your artist, often in just two to four sessions. Some clients want only one name or section lightened out of a larger piece; precise picosecond targeting makes that practical. Tell us your goal at the consultation and we’ll design the series, and the budget, to match.
What a session is like, and aftercare
Sessions are quick: small tattoos take just minutes, and even large pieces are usually under 30 minutes. Most people compare the sensation to getting the tattoo, but much briefer; we use cooling and numbing options for comfort. Afterward, expect redness, swelling, and sometimes pinpoint frosting for a few days. We send you home with simple aftercare instructions (keep it clean, covered, and out of the sun). Sessions are spaced 6–8 weeks apart so your body can clear the fragmented ink between visits.
How many sessions, and what it costs
Most tattoos take six to ten or more sessions, depending on ink density, colors, depth, age, and location: smaller or faded work tends toward the lower end of that range, while dense professional color pieces need more. Because Picofy clears more ink per session than older lasers, total treatment counts, and often total cost, run lower than a Q-switched course elsewhere. Pricing is by tattoo size, quoted exactly at your consultation, with series packages available.
