What is Laser Tattoo Removal?
Celebrate the tattoos you love…..clear the ones you regret. Whether it is your ex’s name that is still lingering on your body, a tattoo that made you feel cool back in the day but now has no meaning, or simply a change of heart, we may have the solution for you.*
We have added the latest, advanced laser tattoo removal technology to our medical office. The Laser Aesthetic Center is one of the few centers in the Midwest that have the capabilities to offer the PicoSure laser. The PicoSure sets the standard for the newest generation of tattoo removal devices because it delivers fast and effective tattoo clearance, with the power to remove even stubborn inks.*
Benefits of PicoSure Laser Tattoo Removal
If you have tried laser tattoo removal in the past and not seen ideal results, we urge you to try again with the PicoSure. This advanced laser is often able to remove ink colors and types previously thought impossible to treat, with fewer overall treatment sessions.*
We laser tattoo removal at two wavelength, 532nm and 755nm. This allows us to treat the full spectrum of tattoo ink colors.* Many other laser tattoo removal providers don’t possess this technology and aren’t able to treat the full range of ink colors effectively. This includes blue and green inks as well as red and orange inks – typically difficult to remove.
- Picosecond pulse widths – The short pulses shatter ink particles. The pulses require less energy and produce less heat than Q-switched lasers, resulting in minimal to no damage to surrounding skin, and fewer overall treatments.*
- Success with blue, green, red and orange inks – If you have attempted laser tattoo removal in the past for a green/blue or orange/red tattoo, you may not have seen optimal results. With the PicoSure, your tattoo removal is likely to prove more effective. A wide range of ink colors, including typically difficult greens, blues, reds and oranges, are targeted and cleared.*
- Fewer tattoo removal sessions – PicoSure patients typically require fewer treatment sessions than treatment with Q-switched lasers. The overall process is typically shorter, taking fewer months to complete.*
- Heightened patient comfort – PicoSure treatment is more comfortable throughout, with fewer side effects and limited-to-no collateral skin damage.*
How Does Laser Tattoo Removal Work?
The old generation of tattoo removal systems revolved around the Q-Switched laser technology, which, after a long series of treatments, slowly faded basic tattoos without having the ability to fully clear some colors. The PicoSure works in a very different way. The PicoSure emits pulses that hit ink particles with greater pressure, causing the ink to shatter into smaller particles, which are then absorbed by the body. Because these particles are smaller than those created by Q-switched lasers, PicoSure’s overall results are typically more thorough, gradually reducing even stubborn blue, green, and light-colored inks with fewer treatments.*
Your Laser Tattoo Removal Experience
- Before your first session, we will complete a consultation to determine your treatment plan. During this appointment, we will examine your tattoo and consider certain factors that dictate treatment (like size, ink type, ink depth, ink colors).
- We will also evaluate the size (width and height of your tattoo in square inches) to determine how many laser sessions the entire treatment will likely take, as well as the length of each session. This will also help determine your overall cost of laser tattoo removal.
- During sessions, the sensation of the laser is similar to that of receiving a tattoo (although the process is faster). We will work with you to ensure that you are comfortable with the process,* taking breaks during treatment if need be.
- Your tattoo removal sessions will be spaced several weeks apart, to allow healing to take place between treatments.* You will be provided with care instructions for your skin.
- There will be some swelling and redness between treatments,* alleviated by moisturizing. If you ever have questions about the healing process, contact us for assistance.
- Once your treatment sessions are complete, your tattoo will continue to fade.* We will evaluate the treatment site after healing is complete and determine whether you might benefit from additional sessions.
