Superior Laser Technology
Unlike older lasers which deliver heat to the pigment and surrounding tissue, the newly FDA approved PicoSure laser uses PressureWave Technology to shatter the ink into tiny particles that are easily eliminated by the body.
PicoSure’s ultra-short pulse duration goes beyond photothermal action. It creates an intense photomechanical impact, resulting in greater disruption of the ink molecules. This leads to clearer skin after fewer treatments without injuring to the surrounding skin. It also allows for the removal of stubborn blue and green inks as well as previously-treated, recalcitrant tattoos.

Picosecond vs. Nanosecond Technology
Traditional nanosecond lasers predominately rely on photothermal action, delivering heat to the pigment and surrounding tissue. PicoSure takes advantage of PressureWave Technology to shatter the target ink into tiny particles that are easily eliminated by the body.
What Does a Picosecond Mean to You?
For the estimated 9 million people in the U.S who regret their tattoo, it means better results in fewer treatments. Traditional Nanosecond lasers, in effect, super-heat the ink, causing it to breakdown while also subjecting the surrounding skin tissue to potential thermal injury. The PicoSure laser by comparison delivers a concentrated beam at a trillionth of a second — shattering the ink on impact at a molecular level without scarring the skin. Because the ink is broken into much smaller particles and the surrounding skin is undamaged, the body can absorb it and heal at a much faster rate. This also means that we can remove those more challenging tattoo colors that at one time would have been impossible to eliminate from the skin. It is even a new alternative for those who have tried tattoo removal before, but gave up after seeing the poor results!
The New Technology
Using the newly FDA approved PicoSure laser, we can guarantee your satisfaction in half the time.
The technology available here removes a tattoo in approximately 6 treatments, with better results! Photos for representation only
The Old Technology
In the past, people have been frustrated by the long, drawn out process of tattoo removal and its less than ideal results.
The old technology, takes an average of 12 treatments to remove a tattoo. Photos for representation only
