After evaluation by Dr. Jess, it may be determined you are a candidate for laser tattoo removal. The picosecond laser which operates with very fast, one billionth of a second fast speed. This speed creates pure energy generation in the form of pressure or pulsed shock wave effect on the tattoo pigments, and results are very little or no heat generation. Picosecond laser groundbreaking technology is extremely efficient and has become the “Gold Standard” in laser tattoo removal. With this unique technology, average tattoo can be almost over 90% cleared in as little as 4 treatments, while the rest of the old technology lasers will result in about 50% clearance and will take as many as 20 treatments and a few years. The near absence of heat injury and damage to healthy skin, means little risk of hypopigmentation seen with the more common lasers such as Q-switched or Nd-YAG. It is important to remember that tattoo removal is a multi-step process and there is no guarantee you won't still have a "shadow" of the tattoo under the skin. Dr. Jess will work with you to find the best options for your skin and tattoo.
