how it works:

Our pico-laser delivers ultra-short pulses that fragment tattoo pigment into microscopic particles. Over time, the body’s immune system clears these particle fragments naturally.

Treatment is typically quick (5–15 minutes per area), depends on size/complexity.

Sessions are spaced 6–12 weeks apart (to allow full skin healing and immune clearance between treatments.)

Because all tattoo ink color, depth, age and skin type vary, results — and number of sessions needed — vary as well. During the initial consultation, we evaluate all factors, your health history, and lifestyle, and give an individualized estimate on price and sessions needed.

Advanced Technology + Protocols:

We use a medical-grade pico-laser system designed specifically for pigment and tattoo removal. Pico-lasers emit ultra-short pulses of energy that fragment ink without excessive thermal damage to surrounding tissue, allowing for safer and more efficient clearance. Each device undergoes routine calibration and safety checks before treatment. Laser settings are adjusted based on your tattoo’s ink density, color, depth, and your Fitzpatrick skin type to ensure precise, controlled outcomes.

Healing timeline:

First 48 hours: Redness, swelling, or mild blistering may occur. Frosting typically resolves within minutes to hours.

Days 3–10: Light scabbing or flaking may appear as the skin heals naturally. Itching is common as new tissue forms.

Weeks 4–8: The immune system continues clearing fragmented pigment beneath the surface. Visible fading is usually noticeable by this point. Sessions are generally scheduled 6–12 weeks apart to allow for complete healing.

What to expect after your Treatment:

Before treatment begins, your technician will assess your tattoo, review your medical history, and determine appropriate laser settings. A topical numbing agent may be applied for comfort. During treatment, you may feel a brief snapping or heat sensation as the laser pulses make contact with the skin. Most sessions last between 5–15 minutes.

Normal immediate responses include temporary whitening (“frosting”), redness, and mild swelling. As the skin begins to heal, these effects typically subside within hours.

Who Performs Your
Treatment:

Under the supervision of our skilled medical director, all treatments are performed by trained and certified laser technicians with specialized education in pigment removal and laser safety. Our team is certified in device-specific operation and dermatologic safety principles, including correct parameter selection, skin typing, and complication prevention. Continuing education and annual recertifications ensure our staff remains current with emerging technologies and best practices in laser tattoo removal.

AFTERCARE
INSTRUCTIONS:

For the first 48 hours:

Keep the area clean, dry, and protected. Apply the recommended ointment as directed. Use cool compresses to reduce swelling. Avoid touching, rubbing, or allowing clothing to irritate the treated site.

For the first 7–10 days:

Do not pick at scabs or blisters. Avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, hot tubs, swimming pools, saunas, and vigorous physical activity that may cause sweating. Refrain from applying makeup or skincare products to the area until fully healed.

Long-term care:

Once healed, apply SPF 30+ daily to protect the area from UV exposure. Avoid tanning throughout your treatment series, as it can increase the risk of pigmentation changes and slow progress.

    • Old pigment buildup leads to ashy brows

    • Better shape, symmetry, and color when starting clean

    • Safe + controlled fading

    • Avoid stacking more pigment on top of old color

  • Most clients say it feels like a quick rubber band snap — fast, spicy, and over before you know it. Treatments are super quick (usually a few minutes), and we can numb the area if you’re extra sensitive. Discomfort only lasts during the pulses, not afterward.

  • Yes — our pico laser targets a wide range of ink colors.

    • Black + dark inks fade the fastest

    • Blues + greens take a little longer

    • Cosmetic pigments (brow colors, microblading) lift beautifully

  • Scarring is extremely rare. We use advanced settings that protect your skin while breaking up pigment. Most clients only experience light redness, swelling, or frosting immediately after — all normal and temporary.

  • Absolutely. In fact, starting with a clean canvas gives you better results — better shape, better tone, better symmetry, and no unpredictable undertones. If your brows are oversaturated or uneven, laser fading is the best way to reset before new PMU.

  • You’ll notice fading a few weeks after your first session. The magic happens gradually as your body processes the broken-up pigment. Expect more obvious changes around your 2nd or 3rd session.

  • Minimal. You can go right back to your day.
