The Technology Behind Our Tattoo Removal
At Parfaire Medical Aesthetics, we proudly serve Los Angeles clients with advanced tattoo removal powered by picosecond laser technology. This leading-edge system releases energy pulses in trillionths of a second, creating a precise photomechanical PressureWave that shatters tattoo ink into ultra-fine particles measuring approximately 10 to 100 nanometers. These microscopic ink fragments are small enough for the body’s immune system to flush away naturally, promoting faster and cleaner results.
Older Nd:YAG lasers function on nanosecond timing, which produces larger ink fragments between 1,000 and 10,000 nanometers and depends on thermal energy to break them down. This approach often causes more discomfort, slower recovery, and a higher risk of burns or pigmentation issues. The picosecond laser surpasses this with its ability to generate smaller ink fragments, enabling quicker removal and fewer required sessions. Delivering 4.5 to 5.5 times the photoacoustic power, it works efficiently on all ink colors and skin tones. In addition to tattoo removal, Los Angeles patients also experience improved skin quality as this method reduces sun damage, acne scarring, melasma, and uneven pigmentation.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many sessions will I need for complete tattoo removal?
The required number of sessions varies depending on the color, type, and size of the tattoo as well as the depth of ink and your skin’s natural response. On average, most clients complete four to eight sessions, but noticeable fading can appear in just one to three treatments. A detailed plan will be provided during your consultation.
Is tattoo removal painful?
Clients in Los Angeles often compare the sensation of tattoo removal to the light snap of a rubber band. Our team uses a combination of numbing cream and cooling technology to ease sensitivity and keep you comfortable. Most people find that the discomfort is noticeably lower than what they experienced when getting their tattoo done.
What are the side effects?
Common side effects may include redness, slight swelling, or minor blistering, all of which typically resolve quickly. Serious adverse effects are rare when treatment is provided by skilled professionals. Our laser system is designed to reduce risks such as scarring or uneven pigmentation.
Can all tattoos be removed?
Nearly all tattoos can be faded significantly, though full removal depends on ink quality, age, and location. Professional tattoos often require more sessions than amateur tattoos. Our treatments can be applied to any body region safely.
How soon can i see results?
Ink fragmentation begins immediately, with progressive fading appearing over several weeks as the body naturally eliminates the pigment. Maximum results are usually visible after completing the recommended number of sessions.
Is it safe for darker skin tones?
Yes, this laser technology is specifically developed for all skin tones, including darker shades. Settings are adjusted as needed to ensure safe and effective results without causing pigmentation problems.
What is the cost of tattoo removal?
Costs depend on the tattoo size and the total number of treatments required. Small tattoos typically start at $150 per session, and packages can be purchased for multiple sessions. We also offer flexible financing options.
Can i get a new tattoo after removal?
Once your skin has fully recovered from treatment, it is possible to have a new tattoo applied safely. Healing times may vary depending on individual skin response and the number of previous sessions.
