The Technology Behind Our Tattoo Removal
At Parfaire Medical Aesthetics, our Alhambra clients experience exceptional tattoo removal results thanks to picosecond laser technology. This advanced system releases rapid bursts of energy within trillionths of a second, producing a photomechanical PressureWave that breaks tattoo pigments into ultra-small pieces, approximately 10 to 100 nanometers in diameter. These tiny fragments are then eliminated naturally by the body’s immune system, helping the tattoo fade efficiently and evenly.
When compared to traditional Nd:YAG lasers, which rely on nanosecond pulses that create much larger ink fragments between 1,000 and 10,000 nanometers, the difference in precision and comfort is significant. The older systems use heat-based mechanisms that can lead to additional treatments, more discomfort, and a higher potential for scarring. The picosecond laser, however, provides superior performance with 4.5 to 5.5 times more photoacoustic power, achieving faster results with fewer sessions. In addition to tattoo removal, Alhambra clients enjoy enhanced skin quality as the same technology effectively treats pigmentation concerns, acne scars, sun damage, and melasma.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many sessions will I need for complete tattoo removal?
The number of sessions depends on multiple factors, including the tattoo’s size, ink colors, depth, and your skin’s responsiveness. Most people complete four to eight sessions, although noticeable fading may occur in just one to three treatments. A personalized estimate will be provided at your consultation.
Is tattoo removal painful?
Alhambra clients commonly explain the feeling as a light rubber band snap on the skin. To make the session comfortable, we apply a numbing cream before treatment and use cooling methods throughout. Most find the experience easy to manage, with discomfort levels far lower than when they originally got their tattoo.
What are the side effects?
Typical reactions include mild redness, swelling, or light blistering, which usually resolve quickly. Severe complications are extremely rare when the procedure is performed by experienced professionals. Our system reduces risks such as scarring and pigment alterations.
Can all tattoos be removed?
Most tattoos can be faded or removed, though results are influenced by the type, age, and quality of ink. Professional tattoos often require more sessions than amateur designs. All areas of the body can be treated effectively.
How soon can i see results?
Ink begins breaking down immediately, with progressive fading over subsequent weeks as your body eliminates the pigment. Complete results are typically seen after several sessions.
Is it safe for darker skin tones?
Yes, the laser is safe for all skin types, including darker complexions, and can be adjusted to minimise the risk of pigment issues.
What is the cost of tattoo removal?
Pricing depends on the size of the tattoo and number of sessions. Small tattoos usually start at $150 per session. Packages and financing options are available for convenience.
Can i get a new tattoo after removal?
Yes, once your skin is fully healed from previous treatments, it is safe to have a new tattoo applied. Healing time depends on individual skin response and the number of prior sessions.
