As time passes, many people who got tattoos earlier in life grow to regret that decision. We can help with help remove remove your tattoos!
One of the major aspects that differentiate our tattoo removal services at Limelight Laser and Medical Spa is that a physician performs the laser tattoo removal treatment. Laser tattoo removal is complicated and if performed by inexperienced personnel, it can be ineffective at best or potentially result in hypopigmentation or scarring at worst. Effectively performing this treatment means the right hands use the right technology. We can provide both for optimal laser tattoo removal near you.
Laser Tattoo Removal
PicoSure Picosecond Laser
We use the Cynosure PicoSure® laser device which is the gold standard for removing tattoos.
PicoSure tattoo removal uses a powerful picosecond laser that safely removes tattoos faster than Q-switched lasers. PicoSure enables PressureWave laser pulses, which break up the underlying tattoo ink into microscopic particles that the body can easily eliminate. In contrast, older nanosecond lasers work by burning the pigment and as a result, the surrounding skin can be damaged by photothermal effects. PicoSure laser tattoo removal works on all skin types and can not only remove even the most stubborn inks with fewer side effects, but faster and with less pain as well.

PicoSure is much more effective at treating tattoos than Q-switched and other lasers
PicoSure is very precise and can also remove parts of tattoos, or fade a tattoo in preparation for coverup. We offer fading for half the cost of complete removal.
With our Complete Removal Package, we will take as many treatments as necessary to treat your tattoo until it is completely gone
Tattoo Removal FAQs
Does Laser Tattoo Removal Work for All Tattoos?
Yes, we now have the technology to effectively remove all types of inks using different laser wavelengths.
How Does Laser Tattoo Removal Work?
Each pulse of the laser sends light energy into your skin. We use different wavelengths of laser light to treat different colors of ink in your tattoo. As the light energy is directed into your skin, it is selectively absorbed by the tattoo ink particles trapped in the dermis of your skin. As a result, these particles instantly shatter into tiny fragments.
Once the laser has broken the ink into smaller pieces, your body’s immune system works to remove the ink over the following weeks, flushing it away from the tattooed area. We see the result of this as the tattoo lightening in appearance. Each additional laser treatment breaks down more and more ink until the tattoo can no longer be seen.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
PicoSure can remove a tattoo with less sessions (and less pain) than other lasers. Typically, it takes 3-8 treatments to completely remove a tattoo.
