Contact UsWhat Is Laser Tattoo Removal?
You may have many reasons why you no longer want your tattoo. Perhaps it reminds you of a painful memory, has faded, or just doesn't represent who you are anymore. Whatever the reason, advancements in tattoo removal equipment have made it possible to lighten and potentially remove the unwanted tattoo completely. At Essential Aesthetics and Laser in Charlotte, NC, certified laser technician Lori Alessandrini offers tattoo removal using the minimally invasive, short-pulse laser PicoSure®. This gentle and efficient laser technology is known to achieve great results that endure with minimal downtime.
Do I Qualify for Laser Tattoo Removal?
There's a number of considerations which might improve the success of your tattoo removal. Good candidates for this procedure:
- Have a strong immune system. This helps the body’s ability to dispose of the broken down ink properties.
- Are healthy overall. Smoking and eating an unhealthy diet limit the body's immune system from working at max efficiency.
- Have deep contrast between the ink color and the skin color. The greater the contrast, the greater the result.
- Have older tattoos. Older tattoos have a tendency to respond better to laser removal treatment.
What Are the Benefits of Laser Tattoo Removal?
Laser tattoo removal in Charlotte, NC at Essential Aesthetics and Laser with the advanced PicoSure system helps you achieve clearer skin with a variety of great benefits, including:
- Provides superb results
- It's more effective on black ink
- Treats more colors, including blue and green
- It's more comfortable than other laser systems
- Does not harm surrounding skin
- Removes ink faster than other systems
- Often requires fewer treatments
How Does Laser Tattoo Removal Work?
While most lasers incorporate heat, PicoSure does not. With PicoSure, a short burst of high energy is used on the tattoo, leaving the surrounding tissue unharmed. This ultra-short pulse creates a pressure change, which breaks the ink down into smaller particles. The lymphatic system is able to then eliminate those particles naturally. Utilizing this advanced laser technology, 4 – 5 sessions are required to achieve the expected results. You might feel some discomfort during the procedure, but it is a short process that only lasts for up to ten minutes. Smaller tattoos should take less time.

What To Expect After Laser Tattoo Removal
Following each session, an ointment will be applied to your treated skin along with bandages to keep the area protected. You may experience redness, sensitivity, and swelling on or around the treated area. You may also feel like you have a sunburn, with slight scabbing. It's essential to adhere to aftercare instructions precisely to expedite the recovery process. Once the site is ready, you can schedule your next treatment session. We do not recommend scheduling sessions sooner than 4 – 7 weeks apart.

Laser Tattoo Removal FAQs
Does laser tattoo removal hurt?
Unlike other tattoo removal lasers, PicoSure uses short bursts of energy rather than long sustained applications of light/heat energy. This makes our laser tattoo removal sessions not only more comfortable, but they are also quicker. While there can be some minor discomfort (like a light rubber band snap), the entire process typically only lasts about 10 minutes and is usually very easily tolerated by the majority of patients. We can also provide a numbing gel to further enhance your comfort.
Is PicoSure laser tattoo removal safe for everyone?
Yes, it is. PicoSure laser tattoo removal is safe for all skin types and tattoo types. No matter your skin tone or how stubborn the tattoo is, our laser tattoo treatments are both safe and effective for the majority of patients.
How many laser tattoo removal sessions will I need?
It depends on the size, color, age, and location of your tattoo. With the PicoSure laser system, most patients will only need about 4 – 5 treatment sessions to see their desired results.
