The Technology Behind Our Tattoo Removal
For clients in Los Feliz, Parfaire Medical Aesthetics offers tattoo removal powered by picosecond laser technology that delivers energy in trillionths of a second. This produces a photomechanical PressureWave effect that breaks tattoo ink into microscopic fragments about 10 to 100 nanometers in size. These minuscule particles are then naturally cleared by the immune system, helping tattoos fade effectively and evenly.
Unlike older Nd:YAG lasers, which produce larger particles between 1,000 and 10,000 nanometers and depend on heat, this modern technology minimizes the risk of burns or scarring. The smaller fragment size achieved by the picosecond laser enables quicker results and fewer treatment sessions. With 4.5 to 5.5 times stronger photoacoustic energy, it clears pigments faster and more safely across all colors and skin types. Los Feliz clients also see improvements in skin tone as this system reduces pigmentation issues, acne scars, melasma, and sun damage, leaving the skin refreshed and revitalized.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many sessions will I need for complete tattoo removal?
The total number of treatments depends on the size, type, color, and depth of the tattoo, as well as your individual skin response. Generally, four to eight sessions are needed, but many clients observe noticeable fading after one to three treatments. A detailed session plan is provided during the consultation.
Is tattoo removal painful?
Clients in Los Feliz say the sensation feels like a fast rubber band flick. We make comfort a priority by using numbing creams and cooling systems to ease the skin’s sensitivity during treatment. Overall, the pain is minor and much more tolerable than the feeling of getting the tattoo itself.
What are the side effects?
Temporary redness, mild swelling, and occasional blistering are common side effects. These usually fade quickly. Serious complications are very rare when the procedure is performed by trained professionals. Our system is specifically designed to minimise the risks of scarring and pigmentation issues.
Can all tattoos be removed?
Most tattoos can be faded or removed completely, although outcomes depend on ink quality, depth, and age. Professional tattoos typically require more sessions than amateur ones. Treatments are safe for all areas of the body.
How soon can i see results?
Ink particles begin to break down immediately during treatment, and fading progresses over weeks as the body clears the fragments. Maximum results usually appear after multiple sessions.
Is it safe for darker skin tones?
Yes, our picosecond laser is safe for all skin types, including darker skin tones. Settings can be adjusted to avoid pigmentation changes while still effectively removing tattoo ink.
What is the cost of tattoo removal?
Pricing is determined by tattoo size and the number of sessions required. Small tattoos generally start at $150 per session, and packages and financing are available for convenience.
Can i get a new tattoo after removal?
Yes, after your skin has healed, it is safe to receive a new tattoo. Timing may vary depending on skin recovery and previous treatment sessions.
