The Technology Behind Our Tattoo Removal

In Altadena, our tattoo removal treatment uses picosecond laser technology that delivers energy pulses in trillionths of a second to achieve extraordinary precision. This process creates a photomechanical PressureWave effect that disintegrates tattoo pigments into ultra-small fragments, measuring about 10 to 100 nanometers. These microscopic particles are then naturally processed and eliminated by the body’s immune system, resulting in effective tattoo fading.

Older Nd:YAG laser systems rely on nanosecond pulses that create significantly larger ink fragments ranging from 1,000 to 10,000 nanometers, depending more on heat and often requiring more sessions with higher chances of burns or scarring. In contrast, the picosecond laser generates smaller particles for faster clearance, with 4.5 to 5.5 times the photoacoustic power for improved safety and speed. This advanced technology delivers efficient results for all ink shades and skin tones. Additionally, Altadena patients benefit from its rejuvenating properties, which address sun damage, melasma, acne scars, and dark spots while improving overall skin tone and texture.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many sessions will I need for complete tattoo removal?

Session requirements vary depending on factors such as the tattoo’s color, depth, size, and your skin’s response. Generally, four to eight appointments are necessary, though some individuals notice substantial fading after one to three treatments. A tailored plan will be discussed during your consultation.

Is tattoo removal painful?

For clients in Altadena, the tattoo removal sensation is often likened to a quick rubber band snap against the skin. We ensure comfort through the use of numbing creams and cooling techniques that keep the treated area calm. Most clients report that the discomfort is very tolerable and much less painful than the tattooing experience.

What are the side effects?

Side effects may include temporary redness, minor swelling, or small blisters, all of which usually disappear quickly. Serious issues are uncommon when treatments are conducted by trained professionals. Our technology is designed to minimise risks such as scarring and pigment changes.

Can all tattoos be removed?

Most tattoos can be faded or completely removed, but results depend on factors such as ink type, depth, and age. Professional tattoos may require more treatments than amateur ones. All body areas can be safely treated.

How soon can i see results?

Is it safe for darker skin tones?

Yes, this treatment is safe for every skin type, including darker tones, and settings can be adjusted to avoid unwanted pigmentation changes.

What is the cost of tattoo removal?

Can i get a new tattoo after removal?
