Our professional tattoo removal machines are built for med spas, aesthetic and dermatology clinics, tattoo studios, and trained independent practitioners. The range includes an Nd:YAG platform and manufacturer-rated picosecond systems. Device clearance is specific to each model and intended use, so ask us for the documents for any machine you are considering.
Adding tattoo removal can open several service lines. These may include full removal, fading before a cover-up, permanent-makeup correction, and selected pigment or skin-rejuvenation treatments. Available treatments depend on the machine, wavelength, training, and local rules.
Prices run from $2,500 to $9,900 and above, with monthly financing available. The gap comes down to the laser type, pulse width, wavelengths, energy, spot size, delivery system, and included support. Need help sorting through it? Call +1 (800) 686-5898 or speak with us online.

Picosecond systems use shorter pulses to break ink into smaller fragments. They are often chosen for difficult colors, treated tattoos, busy clinics, and practices seeking more treatment flexibility.

Nd:YAG technology is an established choice for routine tattoo work, especially black and dark ink. It can suit studios and new practices that need a compact, accessible system.
A compact Nd:YAG platform with adjustable spot size and simple built-in air cooling.
Price: $5,248.99, reduced from $7,662.99
A tattoo laser sends very short pulses of light into tattoo pigment. The pigment absorbs that light, causing the ink to break into smaller pieces. The body then clears those pieces over time.
Pulse width affects how quickly the energy is delivered. Wavelength affects which colors absorb it. Energy and spot size affect how the laser can be adjusted for different tattoos. Because clearing takes time, removal normally requires a course of sessions rather than one treatment.
Q-switched Nd:YAG lasers work in nanoseconds. They are widely used for black and dark ink, cover-up fading, and some warm colors when the right wavelength is fitted.
Picosecond systems send shorter pulses. This can create a stronger mechanical effect with less time for heat to spread into nearby tissue. They may be useful for stubborn ink, colored tattoos, and previously treated work. That does not make them the right answer for every business.
Your client mix matters more than the label. A studio doing mainly black-ink fading may get more value from Nd:YAG. A busy clinic treating many colors and complex tattoos may benefit from picosecond technology.
| Feature | Q-switched Nd:YAG | Picosecond |
|---|---|---|
| Pulse width | Nanoseconds | Picoseconds |
| Ink disruption | Short thermal and mechanical pulses | Shorter, stronger mechanical effect |
| Treatment course | Often more sessions | May reduce sessions in some cases |
| Best fit | Black, dark ink, cover-up fading | Difficult colors, treated ink, higher volume |
| Our price tier | $5,248.99 | $2,500 to $9,900+ |
The short answer: choose multi-wavelength Nd:YAG for mostly black ink and cover-up fading. Consider picosecond for more color, difficult tattoos, or higher treatment volume.
| Ink color | Commonly used wavelength | General response |
|---|---|---|
| Black and dark blue | 1064 nm | Often the most responsive |
| Red and orange | 532 nm | Often responsive |
| Yellow | 532 nm | Can be difficult or inconsistent |
| Green | 755 nm | Often needs a dedicated wavelength |
| Light blue | 755 nm | Response varies |
| White and pale yellow | No consistently reliable option | Difficult; some pigments may darken |
One wavelength cannot treat every pigment equally. A two-wavelength system can cover much common black, red, and orange ink. A third tattoo wavelength becomes important when green and blue tattoos are common in your client base.
All four Winkonlaser machines list 532, 755, 1064, and 1320 nm. The 1320 nm head may support carbon-peel or rejuvenation protocols; it should not be treated as another core tattoo-ink wavelength. Confirm included heads and optional parts on the model page.

Pulse width, maximum energy, and repetition rate are not published for every model in the supplied collection data. We can provide the current specification sheet before you order.
Depending on the model, additional uses may include permanent-makeup removal, pigmented-lesion work, melasma protocols, carbon peels, and skin-rejuvenation treatments. The Picoking II includes treatment protocols and a wavelength-filter set. Check the exact model package before building services around it.
Before buying, check six things:
A smaller med spa adding brow correction and pigment services may prefer the four-wavelength EL500.
For an aesthetic or dermatology clinic expecting more colors, difficult cases, and higher volume, look at the EL900 or Picoking II.
Package contents vary by model, but commonly include:
Ask us to confirm the packing list for your chosen configuration.
Training is necessary for safe, consistent use. Winkonlaser offers optional online technician training for selected machines. Available training may cover machine controls, settings, ink and skin assessment, consultation, safety, and treatment protocols.
Confirm the training format and any fee before ordering. A training certificate, where offered, only records device training. It is not a medical license, professional license, or state permission to perform laser treatments.
Winkonlaser machines include a 3-year manufacturer warranty. The Shape Tactics NDPlus has a 2-year limited manufacturer warranty. Coverage is controlled by the terms for each model.
We are your US point of contact for technical questions, replacement parts, and service. We can help with remote diagnosis and coordinate with the manufacturer when needed.
Marketing, consultation, consent, aftercare, and pricing materials are not listed as standard inclusions across every machine. Ask us what practice resources are available with your selected model.
Shipping is free within the continental United States, including freight for larger consoles. Alaska, Hawaii, and international orders ship at cost by custom quote. Contact us for the current dispatch estimate, delivery process, and return eligibility for your machine.
We only publish owner reviews and results when we can connect them to the machine used. We will not fill this space with broad praise that tells you nothing about the equipment.
{{VERIFIED_MODEL_SPECIFIC_OWNER_REVIEWS}}
Each published review should name the model, treatments performed, room fit, ease of use, cooling, training experience, and post-purchase support.
{{DOCUMENTED_BEFORE_AND_AFTER_GALLERY}}
Each result must identify the machine, tattoo or ink type, number of sessions, and treatment interval where documented. Individual outcomes vary, and no machine can promise complete removal.
Q-switched Nd:YAG and picosecond lasers are recognized professional tattoo-removal technologies. Device clearance, however, applies to a specific device and intended use. It should never be assumed from a technology name alone. Ask us for the documents for your shortlisted model.
Many tattoos need around 6 to 12 sessions, often spaced 6 to 8 weeks apart, but the range can be shorter or much longer. Ink color, density, tattoo depth, skin considerations, cover-ups, professional versus amateur work, and laser type all affect the course.
Practices may sell session packages, but they should not promise full removal within a fixed number of visits.
Rules vary by state. Some states require a physician, nurse, medical director, delegation agreement, laser certificate, or another form of supervision. Other states place different limits on salons and non-medical practitioners.
Three rules must stay separate:
Before ordering, check with your state medical or cosmetology board and your insurer. We can help you identify the equipment documents you may need, but local authorities decide who can provide treatment.
A low-cost listing may use the same words, such as “Nd:YAG” or “picosecond”, while describing very different equipment. The real differences may include measured pulse width, delivered energy, spot size, cooling, wavelength accuracy, device documentation, warranty, parts, and service.
Small handheld pens and low-powered machines may produce slow or uneven fading. If the device is unsuitable or used incorrectly, burns, scars, and pigment changes are possible. A cheap machine can become expensive if it cannot deliver the service clients expect or has no repair support.
For a lower professional entry cost, start with the $2,500 EL400 and compare available financing. You are paying for a complete machine, known specifications, manufacturer warranty, shipping, and access to technical support, not only a product title.
We can match a machine to your budget, client mix, room size, state requirements, and financing needs.
