TATTOO REMOVAL VIA PICOSECOND LASER

WHAT IS PICOSECOND LASER TATTOO REMOVAL?

Picosecond laser tattoo removal uses ultra-short pulses of laser energy to shatter tattoo ink into extremely fine particles that the body can naturally eliminate. This technology is faster and more precise than traditional Q-switch lasers, requiring fewer sessions with significantly less risk of scarring or skin damage. It is effective for many ink colors, including stubborn or older tattoos.

Additional Information

Sessions must be spaced 6–8 weeks apart for optimal pigment clearance.
Not suitable for recently tanned or sunburned skin.
Strict sun protection is essential before and after treatments.
Clients with a history of keloids or severe pigmentation disorders may require a test spot first.
Hydration, good aftercare, and avoiding smoking can improve tattoo fading speed and results.
Treatment time and total sessions vary based on tattoo size, ink colors, skin tone, and how old the tattoo is.

HOW IT WORKS

Targeted Pigment Absorption

The laser emits energy that is selectively absorbed by the tattoo pigment, leaving surrounding skin mostly unaffected.

Photoacoustic Ink Fragmentation

The ultra-short “picosecond” pulses create a mechanical shockwave that breaks ink particles into microscopic fragments. These smaller particles are easier for the body to clear.

Natural Immune Clearance

After fragmentation, your body gradually absorbs and removes the broken ink through the lymphatic system over the next several weeks.

Minimal Heat & Faster Healing

Because the laser pulses are extremely fast, very little heat builds up in surrounding tissue — reducing the risk of burns, scarring, or pigmentation issues while speeding up healing.

BENEFITS

Works on Many Tattoo Colors

More effective on a wider range of ink shades, including difficult colors like red, blue, and green.

Fewer Sessions Required

Picosecond lasers typically remove tattoos in fewer treatments due to superior ink-shattering technology.

Low Risk of Scarring

The minimal heat output reduces risk of burns, scarring, and long-term skin texture changes.

Faster Recovery with Minimal Downtime

Redness and mild swelling may appear but clear quickly. Most patients resume normal activity immediately.

Dr. Le is super knowledgeable and talented. It makes a huge difference to have a physician with ample dermatology, anatomy and surgery knowledge, perform a procedure like this one. Why would anybody have an aesthetician do this or any cosmetic procedure if you can have an experienced medical professional? I’ve done lasers before, but this was by far the best. My skin looks amazing.

I had a positive experience and highly recommend Dr. Le. I found him to be quite professional and a pleasant man. Upon arriving, I was put under a local anesthetic … I have circled it in my “after” photo. As you can see, I had no swelling, minimal bruising and no real discomfort to speak of. I did not require anything for pain.

Kennin was amazing! She really takes pride in her work. The entire staff was very friendly. A great clinic. Go!!!

Dr Le is very knowledgeable. He gave me the advice I need to achieve the goals I want. I look forward to coming back. The nurse was very sweet!

Can all tattoo colors be treated?
