What is Laser Tattoo Removal?
You may have many reasons why you no longer want a tattoo. Perhaps it symbolizes a painful memory. Maybe it's faded over time or just no longer represents who you are. Despite the reason, breakthroughs in tattoo removal technology have helped make it possible to lighten and maybe even eliminate the undesired tattoo completely. At Everest Medspa, board-certified internal medicine physician Dr. Xiaobin Li performs tattoo removal using the PicoSure® laser system. This laser energy device is known to yield better results than previous tattoo removal technologies and could necessitate fewer treatments.

Our Laser Tattoo Removal Technique
The best candidates for laser tattoo removal have a strong immune system and are healthy overall. Following a detailed consultation, your technician will then pass the handpiece over the tattooed skin as it releases pulsing laser light and energy. The time it takes to complete the procedure can vary based on the type and size of the treatment area. Following each session, an ointment will be applied to the skin along with bandages to help protect the area. You can expect redness, sensitivity, and swelling, along with a sunburned sensation and minor scabbing. It is important to carefully adhere to aftercare instructions to expedite the recovery process. Once the skin is ready, your next session may be scheduled. Dr. Li recommends spacing treatments about 4 – 7 weeks apart.
In addition to the cutting-edge PicoSure laser tattoo removal system, we also offer the PICO Genesis™ enlighten® platform by Cutera®. This advanced tattoo removal laser selectively shatters multiple colors of tattoo ink with several wavelengths to provide more effective results for clearer skin. Many patients have achieved amazing results in as little as three treatment sessions. Safe and effective for all skin types, an enlighten treatment plan can help you significantly reduce the appearance of your tattoo with a quicker, more gentle treatment.
