Skin Laser
Tattoo Removal
Tattoo ink is placed beneath the top layer of the skin. That makes tattoo removal more complicated — and expensive — than the original tattoo application. Don’t attempt tattoo removal on your own. Do-it-yourself tattoo removal creams and other home treatments aren’t likely to be effective and can cause skin irritation or other reactions.
Indications
- Drawn tattoo that is not removed completely or unwanted tattoo shape
Treatments
- Pico Laser
How does it work & Benefits
Pico laser technology is a modern, non-invasive, non-surgical skin treatment used to treat most common skin imperfections. This technology uses ultra-short energy pulses to break down pigmentation and stimulate collagen production without damaging surrounding tissue. Pico laser technology is considered one of the most advanced and effective treatments for sun spots, skin discoloration, acne scars, and uneven skin tone.

- Remove all cosmetics, creams, and oils from your skin before your session, and never expose your skin to any unwanted reactions.
