The Technology Behind Our Tattoo Removal
Glendale residents can experience the remarkable benefits of our picosecond laser tattoo removal at Parfaire Medical Aesthetics. This technology emits ultra-fast pulses that last only trillionths of a second, generating a mechanical PressureWave powerful enough to break tattoo ink into incredibly small pieces, roughly 10 to 100 nanometers wide. The body’s immune system then removes these minuscule particles efficiently, leading to gradual fading and clearer skin.
Unlike older Nd:YAG lasers that rely on slower nanosecond pulses, creating ink fragments measuring 1,000 to 10,000 nanometers, the picosecond device avoids excess heat buildup. As a result, there is less discomfort, minimal risk of burns or scarring, and fewer total sessions needed. The picosecond laser produces a photoacoustic impact 4.5 to 5.5 times stronger, allowing for faster ink clearance across different colors and skin types. Beyond tattoo removal, Glendale clients also benefit from its rejuvenating effects, as it helps improve uneven pigmentation, acne scarring, sun damage, and melasma for more radiant, youthful-looking skin.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many sessions will I need for complete tattoo removal?
The total sessions needed are influenced by tattoo characteristics, including ink color, density, size, and how your skin reacts. While four to eight treatments are commonly required, some clients experience considerable fading after only one to three sessions. We will give a custom recommendation during your consultation.
Is tattoo removal painful?
Glendale clients usually describe the tattoo removal process as feeling like a brief rubber band flick on the skin. We prioritize comfort by applying topical numbing cream and using cooling systems to reduce heat and irritation. Pain levels are typically mild and considerably lower than those felt when receiving a tattoo.
What are the side effects?
Mild side effects include redness, swelling, or light blistering, which generally subside within hours or a few days. Severe complications are uncommon when treatments are performed by experienced clinicians. Our advanced technology helps prevent scarring and pigment changes.
Can all tattoos be removed?
Most tattoos can be significantly faded or removed, though results vary based on ink type, depth, and age. Professional tattoos often need more sessions than amateur tattoos. Treatments can be performed on any body area.
How soon can i see results?
You may notice ink breakdown immediately, with gradual fading over subsequent weeks as your body clears the pigment naturally. Full results are achieved after completing several sessions.
Is it safe for darker skin tones?
Yes, our laser is safe and effective for all skin types, including darker complexions. Adjustable settings reduce the risk of pigmentation alterations.
What is the cost of tattoo removal?
Prices vary depending on the size and number of sessions needed. Small tattoos start at $150 per treatment, with packages available for multiple sessions. Financing options can be arranged upon request.
Can i get a new tattoo after removal?
