While at one time a tattoo may have seemed an excellent idea, you may later decide for one reason or another that you’d like to get a tattoo removed. Fortunately, today that decision is not as complicated as in the past. Thanks to advances in laser technology, removing a tattoo is a safe, effective, and comfortable procedure.
At Central Park Laser Aesthetics, we offer the latest advances in care to address a broad range of skincare concerns. We utilize the multifunctional Etherea-MX handPICO Laser from Vydence, a leading-edge laser platform.
The handPICO laser uses precisely targeted picosecond light energy pulses to break up tattoo pigments. As the laser’s ultrashort, calibrated light pulses get selectively absorbed by the commonly used ink colors, they effectively break up the pigment to clear the tattoo. Your immune system then naturally removes the pigment residue from your body. Please make sure to hydrate well!
Many lasers claim to remove tattoos, however PICO lasers are the most successful due to the ultrashort pulse to break up pigment. This results in a more comfortable experience and requiring fewer sessions. While other lasers have pigment minimizing capabilities, the longer pulse durations dramatically increase the risk for pain, buring, scarring and incomplete pigment reduction.
Laser tattoo removal offers a gentle approach to care and a positive treatment experience. Plus, each visit only takes a few minutes. Then, as your body clears what remains of the pigment particles, you will see your unwanted tattoo increasingly fade.
Although one appointment produces satisfying results, multiple sessions may be necessary to achieve complete tattoo removal.
