Laser Tattoo Removal

Want to remove an old tattoo that no longer fits your style? Our state-of-the-art Picolazer® technology is designed to target and break down tattoo ink without damaging the surrounding skin, helping you achieve clearer, smoother skin. Whether you're looking to fade an unwanted tattoo or completely erase it, we can help you start fresh.

What is Laser Tattoo Removal?

Laser tattoo removal uses high-energy light pulses to break up the ink pigments in tattoos. The Picolazer® is one of the most advanced systems available today, offering precise targeting with minimal discomfort. By using focused energy, the laser disrupts the ink particles, allowing your body to gradually eliminate the ink naturally over time.

How Does Laser
Tattoo Removal Work?

The Picolazer® delivers rapid, short bursts of energy to the tattooed skin. These pulses penetrate the skin to shatter the tattoo ink into tiny particles. Once the ink particles are broken up, your body’s immune system works to remove them. Unlike older lasers, the Picolazer® system uses a unique picosecond technology that reduces the risk of scarring and speeds up the healing process.

How Many Sessions Are Required?

The number of sessions required for complete tattoo removal varies depending on the tattoo’s size, color, and depth. On average, most tattoos require between 4 to 8 sessions. Each session is spaced about 6 to 8 weeks apart to give your skin enough time to heal and remove the ink particles.

Who is a Good Candidate for Tattoo Removal?

Laser tattoo removal is safe for most skin types. However, the best candidates are those with realistic expectations and a desire to remove or fade an unwanted tattoo. Dark tattoos, especially those in black or dark blue, tend to respond better than lighter or multicolored tattoos. We’ll evaluate your skin and tattoo during a consultation to create a personalized treatment plan.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is laser tattoo removal painful?

Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the procedure. The sensation has been compared to the feeling of a rubber band snapping against the skin. We can apply a topical numbing cream to enhance your comfort.

How long does a session take?

The length of each session depends on the size and location of your tattoo. Smaller tattoos may take as little as 10 minutes, while larger tattoos can take up to 30 minutes.

Will the tattoo be completely gone after treatment?

While we strive for the best results, some tattoos may not be entirely removed. Factors such as ink color, tattoo age, and skin type can affect the outcome.

Are there any side effects?

Side effects are typically mild and can include redness, swelling, and slight blistering. These usually resolve within a few days after the treatment.

How soon can I see results?

Tattoo removal is a gradual process. You may start to notice fading after your first few sessions. However, full results typically take several months, as your body works to remove the ink.
