Professional Tattoo Removal

Most patients describe the sensation as similar to a rubber band snapping against the skin. The discomfort is brief and tolerable. We offer topical numbing cream to minimize any discomfort during the procedure. The PicoSure laser's ultra-short pulse duration actually creates less heat and discomfort compared to traditional Q-switched lasers.

The number of sessions varies based on several factors including tattoo size, ink colors, ink depth, and your skin type. On average, patients need 4-10 treatments spaced 6-8 weeks apart. Professional tattoos typically require more sessions than amateur ones. Dark colors like black and blue respond faster than lighter colors. PicoSure technology can reduce the total number of treatments by up to 50% compared to older laser systems.

Yes! The Cynosure PicoSure laser is highly effective at removing all tattoo colors. The 755nm wavelength is particularly effective on difficult-to-treat colors like blues and greens that other lasers struggle with. Black, brown, and dark blue inks typically respond best, while yellow, orange, and fluorescent colors may require additional treatments but can still be successfully removed.

PicoSure technology significantly reduces the risk of scarring compared to older laser methods. The ultra-short pulse duration creates minimal heat, which means less thermal damage to surrounding tissue. When performed by our experienced practitioners and with proper aftercare, the risk of scarring is minimal. If your tattoo has pre-existing scarring from the original application, that may remain visible.

Recovery time is minimal with PicoSure. You may experience temporary redness, swelling, and mild discomfort for a few hours to a few days after treatment. The treated area should be kept clean and protected from sun exposure. Most patients return to their normal activities immediately after treatment. We provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure optimal healing and results.

The cost varies based on the size and complexity of your tattoo. During your consultation, we'll assess your specific tattoo and provide a personalized treatment plan with transparent pricing. We offer package pricing for multiple sessions which can provide significant savings. Contact us to schedule a free consultation and get an accurate quote.
