What is Tattoo Removal?
Our Picosecond lasers deliver rapid pulses of energy to the skin. These pulses are so fast and powerful that they shatter the ink particles in the tattoo into much smaller fragments compared to traditional Q-switched lasers, which emit energy in nanoseconds. The smaller the ink particles, the easier it is for the body’s immune system to clear them away.
Why Choose Tattoo Removal with Us?
Our advanced techniques ensure safe and effective removal, allowing you to reclaim your skin’s natural beauty. Whether you’re seeking a clean slate for new artwork or simply wish to part ways with past decisions, our skilled professionals are here to guide you through the process with care and expertise.
Our Technology
We use the Cutera Enlighten® III, one of the most advanced laser systems available for tattoo removal. Featuring both picosecond and nanosecond technology with three powerful wavelengths, it safely and effectively targets a wide range of tattoo colors, ink depths, and skin types.
Why the Enlighten® III?
- Advanced picosecond technology breaks ink into tiny particles for efficient removal
- Dual pulse technology treats both stubborn and deeply embedded ink
- Three wavelengths (532 nm, 670 nm, and 1064 nm) target a broad range of tattoo colors
- Safe for most skin types
- Ideal for complete tattoo removal or fading for a cover-up
- Minimal downtime after treatment
How It Works
The Enlighten III delivers ultra-short laser pulses that shatter tattoo ink into microscopic particles. Your body’s natural immune system then gradually clears the fragmented ink over the following weeks, while minimizing impact on the surrounding skin.
What to Expect
Most tattoos require multiple treatment sessions, with the exact number depending on factors such as the tattoo’s size, colors, age, ink density, and your skin type. During your consultation, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan based on your goals.
Whether you’re looking to erase an unwanted tattoo or prepare for a cover-up, the Enlighten® III offers advanced technology to help you achieve clearer skin with confidence.
Enhance Your Results with the DESCRIBE® PFD Patch
To make your tattoo removal treatments even more effective, we pair our Enlighten® III laser with the DESCRIBE® PFD Patch. This innovative silicone patch is infused with perfluorodecalin (PFD), allowing us to perform multiple laser passes in a single treatment session for more efficient ink removal.
Benefits of the DESCRIBE® Patch
- Allows up to 4x more laser passes during a single treatment compared to traditional laser tattoo removal
- Helps reduce the white “frosting” that forms during treatment, allowing treatment to continue without long delays
- Helps protect the skin from excess heat during the procedure
- May reduce discomfort, redness, and swelling during and after treatment
- Can help achieve faster tattoo fading over the course of your treatment plan compared to laser treatment alone
How It Works
During laser tattoo removal, a temporary white “frosting” forms on the skin after each laser pass, typically requiring time before another pass can be performed. The DESCRIBE® Patch quickly clears this frosting, allowing multiple passes in one appointment while helping keep the skin cooler and more comfortable.
By combining the Cutera Enlighten® III with the DESCRIBE® PFD Patch, we offer an advanced approach to tattoo removal that is designed to maximize results while prioritizing your comfort throughout the treatment process.
