LASER TATTOO
REMOVAL
Performed with Boise’s most advanced picosecond laser on the medical aesthetics market, The Candela Picoway:
Advanced Tech: The Picoway laser utilizes cutting-edge picosecond technology, faster than a nanosecond, to deliver ultra-short laser pulses that break down the tattoo ink into smaller particles than traditional lasers, allowing the body to flush out and eliminate the ink through its own natural processes.
Ink Removal Versatility: Stubborn ink colors such as green and blue are no match for the Picoway. Its’ broad range of wavelengths (1064 nm, 532 nm, 730 nm) allow it to target ALL ink colors for the best possible removal results, including permanent cosmetics.
Safety: The Picoway is FDA approved and has a proven safety profile. Its picosecond pulses are administered with photoacoustic technology, verses traditional photothermal methods, which means there is minimal heat transfer, making the procedure the safest option for all skin types (Fitz 1-6). This promotes exponentially faster healing that is still toughest on tattoos and the safest option for preserving the integrity of your skin.
Fewer Sessions: The Picoway laser can often achieve results in fewer sessions compared to other popular lasers. While some tattoos vanish after just 2-3 sessions, the average number of sessions for full tattoo removal is 6-10 for tattoos and 1-3 for permanent cosmetics. If your goal is simply to lighten the tattoo for a more achievable cover-up, fewer sessions may be necessary. Each session is spaced about 8 weeks apart for best results.
Pain Management Technology: Laser removal is most commonly described as a hot stinging sensation that’s uncomfortable but tolerable, similar to having a firm rubber band quickly and tightly snapped against your skin at fast intervals. We proudly run our laser in tandem with a Zimmer Cryo 6, which blows -30 degree Celsius air on the tattoo as it’s being removed to increase comfort and reduce inflammation and can provide extra strength numbing cream upon request. Additionally, laser removal is FAST. Small tattoos can take as little as 15 seconds per session to treat, and larger tattoos can take up to 15 minutes per session to treat.
Clinical Studies: Numerous clinical studies and patient testimonials around the world identify the Picoway laser as the ‘Gold Standard’ of tattoo removal and support its effectiveness in vastly fading or entirely removing tattoos and permanent cosmetics. It is proudly the top choice for devices in today’s medical aesthetic industry.
Price Transparency + Affordability: No surprises, no confusing packages, no commitments. Best bang for your buck knowing you’re being treated with the best laser technology in the Treasure Valley performed by clinically-trained laser technicians with our proprietary treatment protocol.
