Laser tattoo removal
Advanced Pico Laser Tattoo Removal
Laser Tattoo Removal uses advanced Pico laser technology to safely target and shatter unwanted tattoo pigment with minimal discomfort and downtime.
The laser delivers ultra-short pulses of energy that break tattoo ink into tiny particles, allowing your body’s natural immune system to gradually remove the fragmented pigment over time. Tattoos progressively fade with each treatment and can often be significantly lightened or completely removed depending on the tattoo.
What is pico laser tattoo removal
Pico laser technology is one of the most advanced methods available for tattoo removal. Unlike older laser systems, Pico technology delivers extremely fast bursts of energy that shatter tattoo pigment into much smaller particles, allowing the body to clear the ink more efficiently.
This treatment is effective on most tattoo colors, sizes, and body locations.
How laser tattoo removal works
During your treatment, the Pico laser precisely targets tattoo pigment while minimizing damage to the surrounding skin.
Each session gradually breaks down additional ink particles, allowing the tattoo to fade over time as your body naturally removes the fragmented pigment.
Because tattoos vary in color, depth, age, and density, multiple treatments are usually required to achieve optimal results.
Tattoo lightening for cover-ups
Not every tattoo needs to be completely removed.
Laser Tattoo Removal is an excellent option for lightening an existing tattoo before a cover-up, creating a cleaner canvas for your tattoo artist. By reducing the amount of existing pigment, your artist has greater flexibility to create brighter colors, cleaner lines, and better overall results.
We proudly work with many local tattoo artists and are happy to help prepare your skin for your next piece.

• Follow your customized aftercare instructions.
