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.
Picosecond Laser Tattoo Removal Before & After Photos
This patient came to us to remove a chest tattoo she had gotten in her teenage years. These photos are before and after 5 sessions. She even completed one more session for fine-tuning of those last few stubborn ink spots.
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!
Career glow-up in full swing 💼✨ This patient wanted a polished look for his new career, so we treated his neck tattoos using our PicoWay laser for fast, powerful clearance with minimal downtime. He put in the commitment, and the results speak for themselves. We couldn’t be happier for him! Read More
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!”

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.
Dr. Kevin Johnson
Welcome to Advanced Aesthetics. Throughout my years serving the body contouring and facial rejuvenation needs of people in Spokane and Coeur d’Alene, I’ve learned a lot—including how to meet my patients where they are.
If you’re like most of our guests, you’re busy, you want to address a specific concern, but you might not know where to begin. We’re ready to help.
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.
