Laser Tattoo Removal

Dr. Kevin Johnson and his team offer laser tattoo removal with the PicoWay® laser, a picosecond system that breaks tattoo ink into tiny particles the body can clear on its own—even ink that’s resisted removal with older methods. This sophisticated technology is just one of the reasons why Advanced Aesthetics is a trusted destination for laser tattoo removal. Our personalized treatment plans and extensive expertise in non-surgical treatments draw patients from Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, Spokane, Washington, and surrounding communities.

Tattoo removal

This patient wanted his tattoo removed so he could get a cover up. The density of the ink and colors were no problem for the PicoWay laser. He came in for a 3rd session to finish it off, but these photos are only 2 treatments!

How Does Laser Tattoo Removal Work?

The state-of-the-art PicoWay laser safely and effectively breaks down unwanted tattoo ink and targets a wide range of ink colors. This FDA-cleared laser produces pulses so quickly that the skin is not heated during treatment. Ink is shattered by a photoacoustic blast that turns it into particles that the immune cells in your body can scavenge and remove. We precisely tailor treatments to your tattoo’s ink and your skin’s pigmentation.

Unlike other laser tattoo removal devices, PicoWay uses 3 wavelengths of laser energy to effectively treat a wider range of tattoo colors than traditional methods. Patients can be treated every 6 weeks. Little downtime is required. It often requires fewer sessions than older, traditional lasers did.

What Our Patients Say

“I went into the Coeur d’Alene office for a consultation for a tattoo removal. I have many tattoos but I have one that I decided I didn’t love. The office was beautiful and the customer service was outstanding! It hasn’t even been a full 24 hours and I already have seen my tattoo fade tremendously. I am extremely satisfied so far. Thank you so much to everyone at Advanced Aesthetics!”

Benefits

Laser tattoo removal offers many benefits for our patients from Kennewick, Moses Lake, and Wenatchee, WA, and cities near Spokane:

  • Effective treatment of those unwanted tattoos
  • FDA-cleared for safe tattoo removal
  • Even larger tattoos of varying colors can be treated
  • Fewer sessions required than with comparable laser system methods
  • Gentle treatments, resulting only in slight discomfort with minimal side effects
  • No downtime needed

What To Expect at Your First Appointment

Your tattoo removal appointment begins with an evaluation of your tattoo, including its size, colors, location, and response to any previous treatments. One of our experienced providers will use this information to personalize your PicoWay treatment and select the appropriate wavelength or wavelengths.

During treatment, the PicoWay handpiece delivers rapid pulses of light energy into the tattoo, which you may hear as a snapping sound. Chilled air is directed onto the skin to improve comfort. Patients often compare the experience to getting the original tattoo, but discomfort afterward is generally limited to a mild sunburn-like sensation.

The entire tattoo is treated during each session, with wavelengths adjusted as needed as different ink colors fade. Because your body needs time to clear the fragmented ink and your skin needs to recover, tattoo removal requires a series of appropriately spaced appointments. Before you leave, we’ll provide aftercare instructions and help you schedule your next treatment based on your skin’s response and progress.

How Many Sessions Does It Take To Remove a Tattoo?

In most cases, tattoos that were professionally performed need 8 to 15 treatments, while amateur tattoos need about 4 sessions. Dr. Johnson usually spaces the treatments 6 to 8 weeks apart and will develop a treatment protocol designed to help you get ideal tattoo removal results.

Laser tattoo removal is unique for each patient, depending on:

  • Tattoo size
  • Number of tattoos
  • Colors used in the tattoo

How Long Does a Tattoo Removal Session Take?

While actual treatment times vary, most are less than an hour because we use the most advanced laser technology.

Recovery

There is minimal to no downtime after a treatment session. Initially, the skin may be slightly pink; it is important to avoid the sun while the area is healing.
