The Technology Behind Our Tattoo Removal
Echo Park clients benefit from Parfaire Medical Aesthetics’ tattoo removal technology that uses picosecond laser precision. This advanced device delivers energy pulses in trillionths of a second, creating a PressureWave that breaks down tattoo pigments into extremely small particles measuring about 10 to 100 nanometers. These particles are then naturally removed by the body’s immune system, producing visible improvement in the treated area.
Traditional Nd:YAG lasers emit slower nanosecond pulses, forming larger ink fragments between 1,000 and 10,000 nanometers, and rely mainly on heat. This increases the potential for burns and discomfort and usually requires more sessions. The picosecond laser eliminates these issues by creating smaller fragments and generating 4.5 to 5.5 times greater photoacoustic power, resulting in faster clearance for all tattoo colors and skin types. In addition to tattoo removal, Echo Park patients notice improvements in skin tone and texture, as this system helps correct sun damage, melasma, acne scarring, and pigmentation irregularities.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many sessions will I need for complete tattoo removal?
The number of required sessions is determined by tattoo size, color, depth, and how your skin reacts. Most clients need four to eight treatments, but some may see noticeable improvements after only one to three sessions. A personalized estimate will be shared during your consultation.
Is tattoo removal painful?
Those in Echo Park who undergo tattoo removal often describe the feeling as a rubber band gently snapping on the skin. We use effective numbing creams and continuous cooling to reduce any discomfort. Most clients agree the pain is minimal and far less than when their tattoo was created.
What are the side effects?
Redness, swelling, and small blisters are common temporary effects of treatment, usually resolving within hours or a few days. Severe complications are rare when conducted by qualified professionals. The advanced laser technology further reduces risks such as scarring and pigment changes.
Can all tattoos be removed?
Most tattoos can be substantially faded or fully removed. Factors affecting results include ink type, depth, and age of the tattoo. Professional tattoos often need more treatments than amateur designs, and the procedure can be safely applied to all body areas.
How soon can i see results?
The breakdown of ink starts immediately, with fading continuing over subsequent weeks as the immune system clears pigment fragments. Optimal results are seen after several sessions.
Is it safe for darker skin tones?
Yes, this technology is designed for all skin types, including darker complexions. Settings are adjustable to prevent pigmentation changes while achieving effective results.
What is the cost of tattoo removal?
Costs vary based on tattoo size and number of sessions required. Small tattoos generally start at $150 per session. Packages and flexible financing options are offered.
Can i get a new tattoo after removal?
After full skin recovery, it is safe to have a new tattoo applied. Healing times may vary based on the number of sessions and your skin’s response.
