Dr. Gertzman offers an innovative laser tattoo removal treatment, PicoSure, eliminating even the most complex, stubborn ink colors. It also removes faded or previously treated tattoos.
With PicoSure, you can rest assured that your tattoo removal treatment is gentle and safe. It’s the first picosecond short-pulse laser treatment, delivering a trillion pulses per second. This ultra-rapid pulsing causes you to feel less heat during treatment, and its photochemical effect leads to quicker and more complete ink removal.
Our patients have embraced PicoSure for several reasons:
Removal of an average-sized tattoo with PicoSure takes only about 10 minutes, though larger tattoos take longer. Dr. Gertzman makes your treatment even more comfortable by applying a numbing cream while administering treatment.
The number of treatments you need depends on several factors, including the size of your tattoo, its location on your body, and the colors used. Most patients require 4-10 PicoSure treatments, with six to eight weeks between them.
Before your PicoSure treatment, avoid the sun for a couple of weeks, and don’t apply lotions and creams to the area to be treated.
Wear comfortable, loose clothing to your PicoSure appointments so Dr. Gertzman can access your tattooed skin easily.
You may need to stop taking blood thinning medications if they’re part of your regimen.
After your treatment, be gentle with your treated skin. Don’t scrub it roughly or pick at it; only use gentle soap when cleaning it. Also, apply antibiotic ointment regularly.
We space your PicoSure treatment sessions so your skin completely heals before the next one. Over time, you watch your tattoo disappear like magic.
