LASER TATTOO REMOVAL
Laser tattoo removal is an excellent option for those seeking to get rid of unwanted ink and embrace a fresh canvas. This transformative procedure harnesses the power of advanced laser technology to gradually fade or eliminate tattoos. At Aesthetic Skin New York we use a Pico Laser, the most powerful laser tattoo removal treatment available today. The Pico Laser is more powerful and effective than previous tattoo removal lasers on the market, allowing for faster treatment times and fewer treatment visits.
​
WHAT IS LASER TATTOO REMOVAL?
As tattoos hold personal significance for many, the decision to remove them is often a deeply contemplative one. Whether it's a change in personal taste, a desire to shed the reminders of the past, or simply a wish for a blank slate, laser tattoo removal provides a pathway to newfound freedom and self-expression.
​
Laser tattoo removal works to break down the pigment trapped within the skin using targeted pulses of light, paving the way for the body's natural processes to gradually flush it away. While the journey to complete removal may require patience and commitment, the prospect of unveiling clear, tattoo-free skin serves as a beacon of hope for many.
​
In this age of innovation, laser tattoo removal represents a beacon of hope, empowering individuals to reclaim ownership of their bodies and embrace a future unburdened by the ink of the past.
HOW DOES LASER TATTOO REMOVAL WORK?
Laser energy focuses on tattoo pigment, breaking it down into tiny fragments. These small particles are then efficiently cleared away from the body by the immune system’s vigilant action.
The Pico Laser is a breakthrough in laser hair removal technology. Its ultra-fast pulse duration releases a quick burst of energy, breaking down pigment particles with remarkable efficiency. This advanced technology offers faster and often more complete tattoo removal compared to older methods, facilitating a quicker path to clear, ink-free skin.
WHY CHOOSE THE PICO LASER
Advanced Efficiency
Pico lasers represent a leap forward in efficiency, offering faster results compared to their traditional counterparts. The accelerated pulse duration of Pico lasers means that fewer treatment sessions may be necessary to achieve desired outcomes, streamlining the tattoo removal process and minimizing time commitments for patients.
​
Heightened Effectiveness
Notably, Pico lasers boast superior efficacy in tackling stubborn or colorful tattoos, presenting a versatile solution for individuals seeking comprehensive ink removal. Their ability to target a wide spectrum of tattoo pigments makes them particularly adept at addressing intricate or multicolored designs, elevating the prospects of successful tattoo removal for diverse clientele.
​
Emphasis on Safety
One of the most significant advantages of Pico lasers lies in their enhanced safety profile. By minimizing the heat transferred to surrounding skin during treatment, Pico lasers reduce the risk of adverse reactions such as burns or scarring, ensuring a safer and more comfortable experience for patients.
​
Tailored Solutions for Varied Colors
In the realm of tattoo removal, Pico lasers shine brightest when confronted with challenging ink colors like blues and greens. Unlike conventional lasers, which may struggle with certain pigments, Pico lasers excel in effectively breaking down a diverse array of tattoo hues, offering a comprehensive solution for individuals with diverse tattoo compositions.
​
Navigating Potential Concerns with Care
While Pico laser treatments offer promising results, it's essential to approach the procedure with a thorough understanding of potential side effects and considerations. Practitioners provide detailed aftercare instructions to mitigate risks, emphasizing the importance of adherence to ensure optimal outcomes.

While discomfort levels vary depending on individual pain tolerance and the size/location of the tattoo, many people describe the sensation during laser tattoo removal as similar to being snapped with a rubber band. Topical anesthetics or cooling techniques may be used to minimize discomfort.
