Whether you want a tattoo completely gone, faded for a cover-up, or selectively lightened, our FDA-approved Pico Laser technology can treat all ink colors safely on every skin type.
Tattoos are designed to be permanent. Ink is deposited deep into the dermis, where particles are too large for the body's immune system to clear on its own. That permanence is exactly the point, until it is not. Career changes, relationship shifts, evolving taste, or simply outgrowing a design are all common reasons people seek removal.
Modern laser technology has transformed what is possible. The Pico Laser delivers ultra-short energy pulses measured in picoseconds (trillionths of a second) that shatter ink particles into fragments small enough for your body's lymphatic system to naturally flush away. Unlike older nanosecond lasers, picosecond technology breaks down ink more efficiently, requires fewer sessions, and works on the full spectrum of ink colors, including notoriously stubborn greens, blues, and reds.
Not everyone wants complete removal. Many clients come in specifically to lighten an existing tattoo enough for a cover-up artist to work over it with a new design. We tailor the treatment plan to your specific goal, whether that is full clearance, selective fading, or partial lightening for a fresh canvas.
For those who want their tattoo completely gone. The Pico Laser delivers ultra-fast pulses that shatter ink into microscopic particles your immune system can eliminate naturally. Multiple sessions are spaced 6 to 8 weeks apart to allow full clearing between treatments. Most tattoos require 6 to 12 sessions depending on ink density, depth, and colors used.
Learn moreIf you are planning a cover-up tattoo, we can selectively lighten the existing ink to give your tattoo artist a cleaner canvas. This typically requires fewer sessions than full removal, usually 3 to 5, and focuses on reducing ink density enough that new artwork can be placed over it with more freedom in design and color choices.
Learn moreOlder laser systems struggled with certain pigments, especially green, light blue, and yellow inks. The Pico Laser uses multiple wavelengths that target the full range of tattoo pigments. This means even multicolored tattoos and those with historically resistant ink colors can be effectively treated.
The Pico Laser is FDA-approved and safe for all skin tones, including darker complexions that carry a higher risk of hyperpigmentation with older laser technologies. The ultra-short pulse duration minimizes heat damage to surrounding tissue, reducing the risk of scarring and pigment changes while maximizing ink clearance.
