The Technology Behind Our Tattoo Removal
In San Marino, Parfaire Medical Aesthetics provides tattoo removal services that rely on picosecond laser technology for outstanding precision and comfort. This laser releases ultra-short pulses in trillionths of a second to generate a photomechanical PressureWave that shatters ink particles into fragments between 10 and 100 nanometers. These fine particles are efficiently cleared by the immune system, fading the tattoo over time.
Conventional Nd:YAG lasers, which emit nanosecond pulses, produce larger pigment particles between 1,000 and 10,000 nanometers and use heat as their main mechanism. This can increase discomfort and require more sessions to achieve results. Our picosecond system works faster and more safely, with 4.5 to 5.5 times greater photoacoustic energy. It also delivers exceptional outcomes across all ink colors and skin types. In addition to tattoo removal, San Marino patients notice improved skin texture and tone, as the technology effectively addresses issues such as sun damage, melasma, acne scarring, and discoloration.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many sessions will I need for complete tattoo removal?
Treatment requirements vary with tattoo characteristics such as pigment color, density, size, and how your skin responds. On average, four to eight sessions are required, though some clients see major fading after only one to three treatments. Your consultation will include a personalized recommendation.
Is tattoo removal painful?
San Marino clients usually compare the sensation to the quick snap of a rubber band. To minimize discomfort, we apply numbing cream and use targeted cooling to soothe the skin throughout the session. The overall feeling is light and considerably less painful than receiving a tattoo.
What are the side effects?
Mild side effects may include redness, swelling, or minor blistering, which typically resolve quickly. Serious complications are rare when treatments are administered by licensed professionals. The advanced technology we use helps lower the risk of scarring or pigmentation changes.
Can all tattoos be removed?
Nearly all tattoos can be faded significantly or removed completely. Factors such as ink type, depth, and age influence results. Professional tattoos often need more sessions than amateur tattoos. The procedure is suitable for tattoos on all areas of the body.
How soon can i see results?
Pigment begins breaking down immediately, with progressive fading over the next few weeks as the body naturally removes ink fragments. Full results are generally achieved after multiple sessions.
Is it safe for darker skin tones?
Yes, this treatment is suitable for all skin types, including darker complexions. Adjustable settings ensure safe and effective results without pigmentation issues.
What is the cost of tattoo removal?
Costs vary depending on tattoo size and required sessions. Small tattoos usually start at $150 per session, with packages available for multiple sessions. Financing options are provided for convenience.
Can i get a new tattoo after removal?
Once your skin has healed completely, it is safe to receive a new tattoo. Healing time depends on the number of sessions and your individual skin response.
