Do you regret your tattoo because of poor execution? Or simply because it no longer reflects your style? You no longer have to live with permanent ink on your skin. Painless laser tattoo removal in Greenlawn, New York, could be the solution. This advanced treatment uses targeted laser light to break down the ink particles in your skin. Over time, the body absorbs the fragmented ink, gradually fading the tattoo.
At Dermatology & Cosmetic Laser Center, our board-certified dermatologist, Dr. Roger Koreen, has removed countless tattoos, resulting in happier, more confident patients.
Here are six compelling reasons why laser tattoo removal is the most effective solution:
1. Why Choose Laser Tattoo Removal Over Traditional Methods?
Unlike chemical peels or surgery, laser tattoo removal is a much more comfortable and minimally invasive option. The process involves using advanced laser technology to target the ink in the tattoo without causing significant discomfort—there are no harsh chemicals or incisions.
2. The Science Behind PicoSure: How It Works
Our office uses the state-of-the-art PicoSure device to remove permanent tattoos. This FDA-approved treatment offers remarkable precision and efficiency in tattoo removal. By delivering ultra-short pulses of energy, the PicoSure technology breaks down tattoo ink in a fraction of a second, allowing your body to absorb and eliminate the pigment with minimal discomfort.
The PicoSure removes black and notoriously hard-to-remove full colors. Besides removing tattoos, PicoSure can be used to lighten the skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. It also reduces discoloration caused by acne and sun spots.
3. What to Expect During Your PicoSure Treatment
PicoSure is a breakthrough treatment for removing tattoos that were deemed impossible in the past. It only takes a few treatments, and the results are better than ever before. Before your treatment, avoid makeup and other laser treatments (like hair removal) for at least two weeks.
Although laser treatments aren’t painful, we’ll apply topical anesthetics for enhanced comfort. The doctor will move the laser device over your skin to target the tattoo—you’ll feel no pain but a soothing warmth. Your treatment takes about 20-30 minutes. Immediately after treatment, we’ll apply an ointment and dressing to prevent skin dryness.
