The Technology Behind Our Tattoo Removal
At Parfaire Medical Aesthetics, clients in La Cañada benefit from picosecond laser tattoo removal that delivers precise, ultra-fast energy pulses measured in trillionths of a second. This generates a photomechanical PressureWave powerful enough to break tattoo pigments into very small fragments between 10 and 100 nanometers. These particles are then naturally removed through the body’s immune process, promoting faster tattoo fading.
In contrast, traditional Nd:YAG lasers rely on nanosecond pulses that create larger ink fragments ranging from 1,000 to 10,000 nanometers and use heat-based mechanisms that increase the chance of burns or discomfort. Picosecond technology provides 4.5 to 5.5 times greater photoacoustic performance, breaking down pigments faster with fewer sessions needed. This treatment also rejuvenates the skin, helping La Cañada patients reduce the appearance of dark spots, acne scars, melasma, and sun damage while improving overall tone and texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many sessions will I need for complete tattoo removal?
The total number of sessions required depends on multiple factors, including tattoo size, color intensity, depth, and your skin’s natural response. On average, most people need four to eight sessions, but visible improvements may occur in just one to three visits. A personalized plan is provided during your consultation.
Is tattoo removal painful?
Clients in La Cañada commonly describe the sensation as similar to a gentle rubber band snap. Comfort is enhanced through numbing creams and advanced cooling systems that reduce any heat or stinging. Pain is minimal overall and significantly less than what was experienced during the tattoo process.
What are the side effects?
Common side effects include mild redness, slight swelling, or minor blistering, all of which typically resolve within a few hours or days. Serious complications are extremely rare when treatment is performed by trained professionals. Our technology helps minimise the risk of scarring or pigment changes.
Can all tattoos be removed?
Nearly all tattoos can be faded significantly or removed entirely. Results depend on ink type, depth, and age. Professional tattoos often require more sessions than amateur ones. Treatments are suitable for any area of the body.
How soon can i see results?
Ink starts breaking down immediately, and fading continues gradually over the following weeks as the body clears the pigment fragments naturally. Full results are usually seen after several sessions.
Is it safe for darker skin tones?
Yes, this picosecond laser technology is safe for all skin types, including darker complexions. Settings are adjusted to avoid unwanted pigmentation while maintaining effectiveness.
What is the cost of tattoo removal?
Pricing depends on the size of the tattoo and the number of sessions needed. Small tattoos generally begin at $150 per treatment, with packages and financing options available.
Can i get a new tattoo after removal?
Yes, once the skin has healed completely, it is safe to receive a new tattoo. The timing may vary depending on the number of treatments and individual skin response.
