We seriously do not recommend it. From salt scrubs to circular sanders, we’ve seen them all. It normally ends in tears.
It can, especially with older laser technology. That’s why we only use state-of-the-art PicoWay® lasers, greatly reducing the risk of any scarring.
After extensive research, we are unequivocal about using the PicoWay® laser. With a significant price tag, we see it as an investment in your skin. They are all we use.
The settings on the laser are different per skin type. So having extensive experience is essential. Changes to skin pigmentation can happen in the wrong hands.
It certainly does. But there’s an increased risk of changes to skin color if performed by inexperienced laser operatives or with a substandard laser. It’s your skin, after all.
There’s a lot of confusion when it comes to time and laser tattoo removal. It can take over 12 months to remove a tattoo with treatments every eight weeks or so, but the treatments themselves can be over in less than a minute.
We’re very upfront about this; it’s no day at the spa, but we like to say if you were able to get a tattoo, you won’t have any problem with the uncomfortable feeling of removing it.
With something as important as your skin, we never take risks. So we created the world’s only Clinical Advisory Board focused on tattoo removal, a panel made up of industry-leading doctors that make sure each and every tattoo removal is performed to the highest possible standard.
Tattoo removal is a bit of a minefield to navigate through. We recommend watching our series, Common Questions About Tattoo Removal, to arm you with information from the company that has performed over 1.4 million successful treatments and counting.
It’s very simple. With the PicoWay® laser, there comes significantly less risk of any complications. Scarring or skin pigmentation changes are more frequent with older technology.
Short answer: it is all we do. Our laser specialists are the only ones in the industry that go through intensive training, and our clients’ results show that training matters.
It seems crazy doesn’t it. But it’s all about wavelengths and William Kwan, MD is here to explain it all in simple English. It’s all about wavelengths, and William Kwan, MD, is here to explain it all in simple terms. Specific wavelengths target different colors of ink. These wavelengths are not focused on the pigmentation of your skin, so they avoid it completely. Smart and completely safe.
We’re firing a high-intensity light into your skin, so minor, temporary side effects are common post-treatment, such as scabbing, blisters and crusting. There’s also a very minor risk of scarring and skin color change.
Your body is doing all of the hard lifting in between laser removal treatments, so staying healthy leads to better results. Staying out of the sun and avoiding excess heat from exercise is essential. Following our best practices will make a big difference.
Our mission is to make tattoo removal better. That’s why we use only the latest and greatest PicoWay second lasers. They’re a big investment from the business that not every tattoo removal studio can afford.
You may have heard that different colors in tattoos are harder to remove than others. It’s true. Certain colors like black, red, purple are easier to remove than lighter colors like whites, pinks or greens.
Tattoo removal expert, William Kwan, MD talks about the evolution of technology when it comes to lasers. We’re way beyond where technology was just a few years ago. It’s like going from The Flintstones to The Jetsons.
It depends. How large is the tattoo? Where it is on the body? What ink was used? Who did it? How old is the tattoo? These are just some of the factors that affect the price.
Tattoo removal expert, William Kwan, MD will explain what you need to know about the process. Cosmetic tattoos can be removed with exactly the same process as normal laser tattoo removal. The only thing that changes is the ink. Cosmetic tattoos use a different ink to traditional tattoo artists.
